Default Advice needed please for a new motor!

Hi guys and girls

I'm currently considering purchasing another motor and it needs to have the following spec :

• Practical, rear seats for 2 adults and a decent boot
• decent performance
• petrol not diesel
• forced induction or n/a but would prefer f.i if I decide to increase the power

I am considering audi (rs4 s3) vw, bmw (m3), merc. My budget is about 15-17k.
I am still keeping my Impreza but I just fancy something else but needs to be a saloon or hatch and not a 2 seater and it needs to be practical but quick!!!

Cheers for any advice

For that price you could pick up a nice s3 and then have some money to play with it with.

M5 - 500 + horses on tap. Ticks all the boxes of what you require. That or the RS4 would be my choice. Finding a nice clean RS4 ain't a simple task tho!
