I've got the dealers seraching out a cooper s for me but still need to drive one before I can really say, I think I like the idea of having one!

That cooper does look like good fun but would hate to do the insurance quote for it!!!! 'Does this car have any modificatons?'.. Well..........

Audi/VW/Seat do all seem quite sensible with the all round package. It's finding the time to actually go look at them all. Popped in to bmw to look at 120d, would like 123d but slightly more monies than I can really afford. Alternatively I just chicken out for now and buy something cheap to run around in for a year!?

Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming!!!!!
