After having shhexy rex i think the closest you will be able to get to it is the M3.
Clio will be too small for you.
and the others are a bit old shaped.
Are you still running the corsa as well?

rare, the fact that other ppl are unlikey to know what it is will surely be better as it wont attract attention, build quality should be good and id imagine cheaper to run the the ITR and the M3

Defo the ITR cause handling is supposed to be great as long as your not stupid like my mate who took a 90 degree corner at about 80ish and ended up ina ditch, altho he didnt actually have a scratch on him so imagine they are quite safe too!
Also they are around 190ish brake out of a 1.8 look sexy (both import and UK IMO) have decent interiors for a Jap car and should keep its value quite well. You will save money on running and servicing compared to the M3, Clio Im not fond of personally, and Civic I like but since you are used to a Rex i.e. a lot bigger car I would say it is more suited to you

Hard choice that, I wouldnt choose the civic, too old lookin, not a big fan of clios so no there aswell, it would be a coin toss between the M3 or the ITR, both look stunning but the M3 has build quality on its side however the ITR is very rare so I think that I would have to have that.

No question, if you can afford the M3, and its an Evolution model, then go for it.
will blow the rest of the cars on your list away, yet are extremely refined whilst doing it!!
Was heading sideways round roundabouts in a lovely Estoril Blue convertable one just this time yesterday, and I can honestly say it wont be a dissapointment after owning the Rex.
The CTR or ITR just wont have the huge spread of torque that you will be used to in the rex
