I've just had my car roll over and die on me on the M25 and although I am thinking to get it fixed I know it is about time to let it R.I.P.

So I've been looking around at what I can afford.....

The contenders are

Mazda RX8 - these are great handling cars and generally get good reviews certainly a drivers car and yes I've driven a few but they also suffer from a horrible thorn in their side and that is what puts me off. I could look around for a good one but even then their are no guarantees and the cost of a new engine is about what I'd be spending out on one anyway again.

Other than this the other contenders are the Volvo C70 T5 (which would perhaps be a sensible choice).

The Chrsler Crossfire

or

a Porsche Boxter

For the money the Crossfire seems to get my vote as I recon for around 4-5k should be able to get a good low mile one with full main dealer service history too.

However I guess I need to know.....

Servicing costs

Am I being realisitic

How much luggage space is there inside for frequent trips to and from Germany? Must fill that boot with a few cases to make the jouney worthwile.

Also my business partners want me to get something that they can put a tow bar on.... I would never do such sacralige however so am looking for a car that could never tow!

Anyway help would be appreciated....

What should I be looking out for what should I be avoiding? I am sure most of this is available if I look through the forums but I have limited time and am viewing one tomorrow so I need to get educated fast!

Please help!!!!
