Default what to buy for a second car?

well its really a 5th car but anyway
my trusty 91 vitara is not loving life and i need a reliable car to get to work
I have an 05 Adventra (wifes car)
BA GT (weekend car)
HX Kingswood (Project car)
Vitara (will be parked up and stored)

so i'm after a boring FWD commuter car with 4 doors but i get bored easily
i have had a WT Fiesta and its was slow and boring (handles good though)
plus it needs to fit a baby seat and baby stuff, so light cars out of the question

so i have a budget of $8-$12k
and no more than 140,000km and no older than 2008
so short list is
CJ Lancer VR-X 2.4 Manual
Mazda 6 2.5 Manual
Focus 2.0 Manual

which one out of those would be the go? (not sure about the focus)
or any other cars in my range worth considering

plus i do freeway km's so i want something that goes ok so all the cars i have picked have 125kw or more

sorry this is not meant to be a Hulk thread
