I was interested in the Kia Stinger 3.3 because it was a nice car and I was bored of the usual bunch, in the last 5 years I've had a Jag XE-R 250, a 340i, 335d and M140i.
Out of them lot (including the Stinger) the M140i was the budget basement bargain, didn't actually cost much more than a Focus ST. Perception is a funny old thing.. I bought a 340i but that's for a whole other bunch of reasons..
