A Clio 172 sounds like it ticks all the right boxes - quick, great handling, and reasonable insurance (IG16). At £5k, you'll get the choice of a 2000/2001 phase 1:

or a 2001/2002 phase 2:

Have a look at an MG ZS 180 or ZR 160

A3 1.8T or a golf mk4 1.8T with full spec trim

You have got to be kidding? Whats your idea of not too expensive? £1500?

As long as I fit a tracker, Churchill will insure a classic Impreza Turbo for me for £750 fully comp and I'm male, 26 with 6 points so I don't think it's unrealistic.

Again as long as I have a tracker Tesco will insure me on a uk Impreza turbo for 500 quid @25.

Some random company will insure me on a classic turbo for £1400 ish at 20 with 3 years NCB.
