Default What would you buy with around 5-6 grand.

Thinking of changing my impreza for something a bit different, i could potentially have around 5-6 grand.

I'm looking for something fast, reasonably new, and possibly convertible.

Anything anyone can recommend?

Not my bag, but here is one:
Auto Trader UK - VAUXHALL Astra 2.0 16v Turbo Convertible

Bit left field, not fast though - surprising I imagine.
Auto Trader UK - JEEP WRANGLER 4.0 Extreme Sport 2dr

Bit older but an option
Auto Trader UK - SAAB 9-3 2.0HOT Aero Convertible

Loud
Auto Trader UK - ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 3.0 V6 24V 2dr Convertible

Not fast, money saving tip though?
Auto Trader UK - SMART City-Cabriolet Brabus

Non cab's
Auto Trader UK - VAUXHALL Vectra 3.2 V6 Elite

Auto Trader UK - ALFA ROMEO 156 3.2 V6 24V GTA 5dr ***1 OWNER & FSH***

Auto Trader UK - BMW 3 SERIES 330 Ci Sport 2dr Coupe

Auto Trader UK - FORD MONDEO 3.0 V6 ST220 5dr Hatchback

If it was my money I might be tempted by one of these & a remap but prefer saloons/hatches to Convertibles:

Auto Trader UK - BMW 3 SERIES 320d ES 4dr Diesel Saloon

Or one of these plus a remap:
Auto Trader UK - VOLKSWAGEN Golf 1.9 GT TDi 150

Or the following if going for Petrol and not Diesel:
Auto Trader UK - RENAULT CLIO 2.0 16V Renault sport 182 3dr

Or if a convertible:
Auto Trader UK - BMW Z3 2.8

I like those GTA Sportwagons. I think they only imported 100 estates. I had a look at a GTA saloon 18 months ago, but it seemed to have spent half of its life at the dealer having something or other repaired. I also missed out on a perfect very low mileage Sportwagon, which was actually beyond my budget, but it sure looked like a fine car for someone.
