Right, as some of you know, I already own a TVR Cerbera, however need something as a more family oriented car to drive everyday i.e. obviously the TVR isn't family oriented although It seats four!

Anyway, I've drawn up a short list.... all for around the £7.5 - £10k region. Now bear in mind I have a 15 year old son, and a new baby on the way, (Sharon's 15 weeks preggers)... so... if anyone else has any other options for a more sensible everyday car, in the 7-10k region... that has four seats... does 0-60 in less than 6.5 seconds and looks good, then by all means let me know and I may add it to the list... however, going buying this weekend and I seriously can't make up my mind...

At the moment, I'm liking the Jag, infact I'm loving it.. however, just thinking it's gonna be a killer on maintenance, more than the others.... by a long way... so it's hardly sensible but it's stunning... So, what you people think?

Jaguar XKR
0-60 = 5.2s, Top Speed = 155 (175-180 unlimited), Power = 370bhp

Alfa Romeo GTA 156 3.2ltr V6
0-60 = 6.1s, Top Speed 155, Power = 250bhp

Mazda RX8 (231ps)
0-60 = 6.4s, Top Speed 146, Power = 231bhp
