Are you looking for performance or looks??
If your looking for performance buy an old Evo or Scooby - but looks and something that will keep the value then Escort RS Turbo S2 which is looked after would be a good shout.
Personally - if it was me and i was using it for a every day car then i'd get a Golf VR6 as they are reliable and have good performance, look the part and sound JUST AWESOME. a Turbo Car costing that much just would be more hassle than its worth (Sorry guys who this concerns lol)
