What daily for 2-3k?

Fast, Manual, Petrol.

I'll assume you don't want to be like every other wanker who buys a VAG so I'll suggest a Mondeo ST220

You could go for massive tart points and get a Porsche cockster for that sort of money IIRC.

And everyone is gonna groan when I say Impreza WRX.

I get more than enough vag as it is.

I like ST220s, been looking at them, my friend used to have one and it was good. It did fall to bits though.

I would like a WRX but I don't think they are in the sort of condition I'd want for this kind of money, are they? Certainly not when I was looking a few months ago.

Wouldn't want a cheap, non-S boxster.

RX-8?

No idea if they are fast and I'm going to keep suggesting it til I get one or someone else does

I'd quite like to reach my destination once in a while. Plus I don't like the styling of them at all.

I'd be looking at a GS of some description, a nice big auto barge. So much spec for the money!

Not a terrible spec for the money, but I don't want a big auto barge, I want a fun, petrol, manual car.

Civic type r? saab 9 3 aero? So many cars in this price range, trying to find a good one may be a bit tricky though whatever you look at
Surprised noone has came in with '306 gti' yet

A 306gti is a good suggestion, I've been thinking of just getting a xsara vts tbh.
