rx8s are terrible, my mate bought one then took it back after 20 miles. flooded at lights, started back up and sounded like tractor was 55 plate with 30k on the clock.

Looked at s2000s or need four seats?

nah seats not an issue to be honest

looked at the s2000 and the ctr's but decent examples without moon miles are like gold dust round here

Mini Cooper S? They drive absolutely brilliantly. Just a bit expensive!

I don't want to get in to an argument but your wrong. The Mini will dance round a 207 GTI all day long in every department except space.

Most if not all car reviews will back that up too!

Out of the ones on your list I'd be tempted with either the Megane or Clio.
