I used to have a Clio Williams and even though I've had a fair few motors since that have had alot more power, 4 wheel drive etc etc, I'd still definately say that's the car I had most fun in, they're great!!

You don't generally want the bottom of the pile fast car in terms of price. You may quickly find you are paying a shitload more on getting it fixed all the time. I'd suggest something with a VTEC engine in it as well don't know what Civics you will find around for £1500 though as above try a CRX or possibly look at a Golf VR6 will all be sky high miles at that price though.

You could probably get a tidy-ish FRST for that as well.
