MX-5 (not fast unless it's a turbo, turbo is 50k with 120kw)
AWD Magna (not very exciting really, is it)

WRX = 42k, 1/4 mile in 14.00 seconds, 100kmph in 5.5 seconds, and it will do it in the wet as well, good resale, great quality, huge potential when modified :)
Northside Nissan seems to have a few 200Sx's left.
Yeah Liberty GT is pushing it, but the old model will sell for a lot less than the new one!
RX-8 starts at $45,990, (at least that's what I was quoted)
MX-5 has only 107KW sure, but have you ever driven one? Ok, they are not blisteringly fast, but I kept up with a WRX in one. Besides, they weigh bugger all! They look better too.
AWD is not terribly exciting agreed, but it is a Mitsubishi...

you could pick up a 2nd hand B4 libery for around the $33k mark. There's a few near me. Awesome car to drive. Alot more luxury than the rexie's.
Supercharged MX-5's are a great car to drive and are very competitive out on the track, the MX-5 Factory is around the corner from me. Some weeks they have a meeting and the whole street is lined up with tricked up MX-5's. All different types of tuning. Interesting to see.
