Default Looking to spend 8-9k

I'm in the market for a new Scoob and have 8-9k to spend.

What car would you all suggest within my budget? Just looking for ideas

Matt

Yeah I've had a widetrack in the past and loved it and wouldn't mind another 1, but also thinking maybe a jdm sti although I'm not sure about how different both cars are in terms of the way they actually drive. Are jdm models generally more £££s to insure?

Ideally standard, but I would consider lightly modded if the right car came up
