Can you suggest a medium sized car with good performance?
I'm looking for a second hand medium sized car for myself. I do a daily commute of around 40 miles and want something comfortable, but sporty to drive.
I’ve had thoughts about the Skoda Octavia vRs, which I’ve seen advertised for £16,000. I’ve also found a few Volkswagen Passat CCs and Peugeot RCZs, which look quite interesting. What would you suggest? I have a budget of £12,000 plus the trade in on my 2008 Ford Focus.

A Passat CC is not sporty. An Octavia vRs is. Obviously an RCZ is, but you might get irritated at its lack of practicality. A Volkswagen Scirocco with the 2.0TFSI engine would make more sense.
