mx5 would be a laugh, 205 is a great option but are there any left?

There used to be a place in Horsham that sells 205 gti's but they were quite expensive restored examples.

306 Gti 6 or as already stated 205 Gti (1.9) had both of these cars on the road and loved them both.

Definitely an mx5 , rear wheel drive and well known for great handling , and if you can spend a few thousand on it use it as the donor for an mev exocet kit car , well worth looking into , also a well known upgrade is adding and impreza turbo to it ,

Has to be RWD if you want fun, Toyota MR2's are cheap these days as well as MX5, wish I'd have gone that route instead of an STI type R would have saved a small fortune, both are very reliable and can be turbo'ed or supercharged.

I've heard a lot about these but I guess it boils down to if you want RWD or FWD.

There really isn't anything better in the 1k-2k price bracket than a Clio 172/182 although the OP said he doesn't want one.

Great little track the Clio 172 just bought one for my 2 older sons (18 and 24)to experience track days as I think it teaches them the limits of a car away from lamp posts and trees!
