I understand getting ideas completely, that's not what I take issue with. My problem is people giving "first hand experience" style opinions when they don't know what they're talking about.
Personally, that's not high at all. I'd consider it pretty low. My 1.8T is on 156k and I don't doubt it could do that again, because I look after it. On that note, I love mine. They're great engines. The cars themselves are a very nice place to be, as well. They're such good all-rounders. I'd have an S3 or my A3 over a Scooby any day.
I think you should drive a VTEC car if you haven't already. As you're used to a turbo, the driving experience is completely different and not suited to everybody. Personally, I love the ring-it's-neck driving experience and linear power delivery you get from a decent NA petrol. Especially with variable timing.
Another car that I think you should try would be a Celica GT-4, if you can find a decent one in budget. Cracking cars, I will own one.
I think the best thing you can do is make a shortlist, then go and try and have a go/get a ride in them
