OK, I'll start with a Nissan 200SX, A Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC, Fiat Coupe Turbo, Nissan Sunny GTIR. Or you could get a Pug 106 GTI if you want a newer car. Mazda MX5's also.

I'm sure theres loads more.

Late Saab 9000 Aero
Early TVR Wedge
I'd love a concours Rover SD1 V8 Vitesse (probably cheaper than 5k though)
Porsche 928, 944 Turbo
Could you get an early Scoob for £5k?
BMW 635CSi
Old Shape BMW M5
Sierra Cosworth
Capri 280
Jensen Interceptor

endless list really, depending on if it's a plaything, or if it has to have some practicality!

You couldn't get much or a Sunny GTI-R for £5000 though could you? Thought they were more than that.

How about a 3 litre ford capri? bit slow though..

Most of the cars suggested above would be better than an Impreza IMO.
