Not for me, I want something that will last longer than 3 years
Getting tempted by a VXR8, Subaru (different type of blue oval!) , or Mitsubishi
However, not sure how these would cope with 30K miles per year over 5 years

The car firm is also set to complete further deals with the national associations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland within the next week.

And as part of those deals, a one-off revival of the Home International championship could take place.

The contest, involving England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, ran from 1884 to 1984, before being scrapped as England and Scotland lost interest.

It is understood the car giant had been keen to get the Home International tournament in place for 2011/12 season

But the FA told BBC Sport it is investigating the proposal as part of its 150th anniversary in 2013.

"We're talking to the home nations about a possible one-off round of matches with them," said FA general secretary Alex Horne.

This year, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are involved in their own tournament, the Celtic Cup - also known as the Carling Nations Cup - with the Republic of Ireland.
