Must be rwd / 4wd drive, and either a big engine or Turbo charged.
What is out there?
I personally have been looking at;
Skyline R32 GTST
Skyline R33 GTST
Toyota Aristo TT (auto box puts me off)

I dont really like Subaru's - FAR too common now in my city. plus i want something i can tune to decent power.
I like M3's Jim, but they arent fast enough for me.

I have just bought a vgc year 2000 impreza wagon with prodrive pack and full history for £2650 and i am not worried about resale value 
i have had Cosworths,Skyline gtr's,a M3 and a early evo and the subaru is easily the best car,very nice to drive and reasonably powerful to have a bit of fun,thats why there are lots of them about

why do ppl hate scoobs so much...i bet half of them have never even driven one .
ive had 2 cossies and 2 scoobs and the scoobs are 10 times the car a cossie will ever be.
I have a classic type r with 310bhp and some suspension mods and is twice the fun of a cossie too ....at least it goes round bends. My old cossie had avo coilovers and fully polybushes and i have to say that it handled shite compared to the scoob.
Dont knock a scoob til youve tried one....specially a modded one.....pound for pound best fun you can have!!!!!!!!

Defo spend a few quid on suspension and you WILL NOT be disapointed with the results.
I raced a mates 495bhp saff and was surprised at how well i did keeping up...was expecting him to obliterate me but it just didnt happen!!

Tbh it sounds like you have convinced yourself you will be getting a Skyline. No matter what we put here you will come up with an excuse as to why you dont want it.
The only Skyline i would get is a GTR, and yes i have been out in there others and i hated them.
