well a 3 year old M3 covertible certainly has performance..........and i think most would find it comfortable.......and would set you back around 25k......so i disagree about you cant have both......an Audi S-line??? so what do you consider to be a performance car....and what is comfort....and heaven forbid what is considered both in East Anglia???

unfortunately I am restricted to a new car (new company vehicle) have looked at BMW 3's today but can't get the spec I would like for 25k - already have a fast Audi (see yesterdays thread), looked at the lexus, comfort but no real performance, so in a bit of a quandry

If U haggle U will get one for £25 K(iro), and part of the character of Alfa's are the dealer network !!! some are OK ( if its new and a company car then the warranty should cover pretty much everything).

maybe get £5k off as they don't exactly have the best reputation and to be honest not as fast as the fast car we already have - good try though made me go and check it out, thanks

UR car was probably over £40K, so anything is gonna be slower, if I was U id probably go luxury as U already have fast, Something like an IS 250 SE ( with map and upgrade ice) U should get one of those under £25k,

nope our fast car wasn't over 40K lol

looked at the IS250 today but they aren't fast at all, got the brochure here in front of me top speed 143 0-62 8.1 secs to get the spec I want with satnav etc would cost (with discount) abt £28k

all joking aside why dont you take your 25k budget and add to it....either that or lower your aspirations. personally i cant fathom out why they build "slow" cars with a top speed of 143mph when the speed limit is 70!!! i for one would have had less fines and penalty points on my licence over the last 10 years...lol

I know exactly where you are coming from and the more reviews I look at I think I will probably take the 'comfort' option and leave the fast driving to weekends in the car we already have.

ok research time over now to go and do some road tests of my own.

Narrowed it down to either a BMW, Lexus or Audi but for comfort rather than performance as we already have the performance car - that the sensible side of me coming out, ok its K's influence again reminding me the number of miles I will be driving
