Default Opinions please on new car

Due to high running costs of an evo, I am having second thoughts but have not given up. Few other cars thinking of are Focus RS, Civic type R, 350Z, BMW M coupe
Any opinions on these cars os ideas for any others. £15,000 mark

350Z is the obvious choice if you can get one for £15k

S2000 maybe?

WRX import?

As said no not really. Though you would on a long distance race

E46 you can pick up early ones! there was a Y plate in Cardiff for 16k with mid 50's on the clock i nearly bought it myself as i suppose could chip him down to 15k.

The E36 are the older one your thinking about. E46 M3 the M3 of the shape in my sig. Which is a 330d Which i miss terribly at the moment.

2 blokes I know had E46 M3's, drove a chipped 330d, sold the M3's and bought diesels (and got them chipped). Maybe not quite as quick but with the auto box a FAR nicer car to drive.
