New Car £10-£14k To Spend
Jaguar is going and I have a few debts to pay first so will be left with £10-£14k to spend on another car 
I will be doing 500 miles a week in it.
Must be minimum 200bhp
Fit in it 6ft 5in
Fuel economy isn't a major issue but anything saved is money in my pocket if you see what I mean....
Considering a:
Subaru Type R
Civic Type R
BMW M5 (At a push...)
Alpina 5 Series
Any other ideas? No more softtops after the little w@nkers last time.....

i've just gone from a impreza to m5 the impreza was a great car but the m5 is just every car you will ever need it can be nice and quite and relaxing but open her up and there not much will live you but one word of warning buy some share's in castrol because they eat oil

Mmmm nice ideas guys.
Question is.... Are they really THAT good. Is it going to put that big grin factor on my face? Are they THAT quick? XK-R was fun as it had 400bhp and 419lb-s torque.
Basically a Supra engine in these yeah? Tell me more 
You say M5 at a push.......no contest then, get an M5.
Toyota Aristo V300

V300 - yes, weigh nearly the same as an M5 though and won't handle as well out the box I expect, but oh so tunable. Apparently there is no model report available so you'd have to go for pre 1997, not sure why this makes a difference, presumably you're exempt if you are old than a certain age.
