Personally I don't like them, but they're clearly very fast in a straight line for not much dosh, and you've talked more about being fast than being a sports car.

Yeah but you could only get a non-bodykitted one for £5k

What about something like a Nissan 300zx short wheelbase twin turbo?

Theres a coulpe on pistonheads right now!

Rover 220T just doesn't float my boat.
ST24 not quite fast enough.

Pulsars as a little go cart I really like, but there are a few at uni and I really dont like the look of them.

Nissan 300zx, Dont really know anything about them? Better than 200SX? More info please

Leon cupra turbo seems an idea since they can be remapped, but they really need the bodykit otherwise they looks sooooo bland. Can this actually be had for under 5k?

ST200?

they're dogs for the money though usually.

Being that you've suggested it'll only be you and your GF in the car, does it have to be limited to 4-seaters? Something less practical would be an MR2 and you can get good runners for that sort of money..

Less barge like than Mondeos and BMWs too!

you could get a very nice pulsar gti-r for your budget
