Thats a fair chunk of cash for a 10 year old car imo.

Could get a nice S3 for that.
I wouldn't consider the Toyota, I've driven one, felt a bit gutless and didn't handle too well.

CTR for 5-6k and stick the rest in the bank. Not that it will do much nowdays
Or integra DC5 or is that too big?
Cooper S's are nice too
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

Something like that. Only oil and filter. Easy enough to do. Cambelt, Clutch and AYC fluid change is a coont though
