Okay It's decision time...new car
After the RS went walkies with some people who i sincerely hope kill themselves driving it, I need to get a new car. I could wait for the insurance settlement and have about 22k to spend or I could buy one for 8k ish now and pay off my loan with the insurance money. Still undecided what to do but I do like the idea of paying out Ł300 less a month! But what to get? My only boundaries are it has to be less than 4yrs old, not a 2-seater or convertible. I quite like these...
180bhp quite a fun drive, or maybe..
Same vein as the focus and more or less as quick. Or do I wait and buy an m3? Possibly a Merc C-coupe but it'd have to be the v6 270bhp one and I don't know a lot about them...RWD?
What do you think...any other ideas people?

Katie Nice but why not just get an m3?

Or buy a 206 and spend every day crying that you bought a car that labels you a bloody hairdresser.

The 206 has the most unconvincing "door closing" sound ever. It just sounds like the car is made out of tin and paper and it makes a horrible clanging noise
Fuck it, just buy a Honda NSX, or an Integra Type R

what ever it is mate, you need to make sure its a turbo (unless it has a M badge on it)
Anything else will seem very very slow after your FRS.
In your situation i would be looking to buy 2 cars, one runabout to leave at the station everyday and one to leave at home so it dont get nicked
I quite like the new Audi S3
