s3, r32 mk 5 golf, focus st, megan f1, corsa or astra vxr with a diff, rs4, s15, audi tt, m3 all the cars i was looking at round this price range so i was in same boat, went for a focus st and tbh so glad made the choice comfortable even on eibach springs, great handling, take the extra power very well mine running around 280bhp and bit faster than standard new rs. best option is pick a few you want and go test drive them all that made up my mind for me as when went in vxrs they handled like pigs, s3 with rs4 seats were nion impossible to find same with r32 golf but also price of reapirs on those was sky high. load of options but id say test drive will make your decision almost imediatly
