Yeah I'd still rather not get a Japanese car though. Just a personal preference.
I've been doing some thinking and I think I fancy the Focus.
Working it out with average MPGs and the costs etc, I will be worse off for Year one, even for year two but then it will start working in my favour (I'll have to put some money into buying one, depending on sale price of the 335i and how much discount I can get on the ST).
Still not 100% decided either way though.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it all now
