Oh yeah, I agree, it is a bit of a compromise for the type of driving that I do, but I was more suggesting that they're not as unreliable as some would have you believe. Saying that, the full fat versions aren't too bad, quite well equipped. Mine just came up at the right time and I'd always fancied one.
Wouldn't see any problem with one on a shorter commute. No worse on fuel than the options above, and a nice 182 would probably have more stuff and be a much more fun car.

Ok, I will throw a Ford into the mix and suggest the ST220.
Bigger so more space, Recaro seats and climate as standard, auto lights etc if you buy a later one. They're every bit as good to drive as the Fiesta or Focus, but you get a nice V6 soundtrack to go with it.
