Get a corsa sport 1.4, Grp 6 ins, 90bhp.
Not too expensive.
What about getting an older car, thats more powerful, but cheaper to insure.

Id go for the Starlet. My mates sis had one with Castrol Graphics, lowered, speedlines, TRD spoilers, CD player B/box etc all std from Toyota. They are quite nippy wee cars only 76bhp according to the book but they feel quicker. They can alsohit 60 in2nd gear If I remember correctly.
Only thing I didnt like was the steering. Same as theStarlet Turbo, it feels like it isnt connected up properly, very light!.

Be similar to my Bravo then it was really light, I drove an Astra for a week felt like i'd been in a fight, soon got used to it but when i got in my car it was too light again, so I can adjust just want a car for now, quite like em...
