I would suggest the top-level M3 from BMW. The straight-6 has gobs of torque, the steering is as responsive as you could want from a production car, and the throttle is by-wire and variablely sensative. In addition you can toggle the traction control and other driver aids.

For £38.000 you can have a fantastic, comfortable, classy road car that can be taken to the track without any compromises. If you saw the special on the BBC with Tiff Nielson (former Gran Prix driver) when he test drove the M3, he was very impressed with its excellent showing in all catagories. The cross-country ability of the car is outstanding and I'm pretty sure you'll never be disappointed on the open road. (I can hook you up with that video if you'd like, drop me a line).



...also, the "telephone dial" wheels on the Alfa are just hideous, they bring back horrible memories of underpowered late-80s 4-banger 911s.
