...I had previously settled on an RX-8.
But now I am thinking maybe I am missing out on something? What suggestions would you guys have? It needs to be more than 150 ps/bhp and be 'interesting' not like a Focus for example.
Age/Mileage/Running Costs important?

How about a Westfield, or maybe something more normal like a Mitsubishi Evo?
Seat Cupra R
You'll get a nice example for 10k .
Honda S2000 240-260 BHP, great handling, VTEC power, race-spec engine, very sexy
An Evo would be insane running costs. I dont know what the S2000's or Elise's are like. But I doube even those cost as much as an Evo. You need to seriously, seriously love cars to justify running one of those.
You could always get a nice RX-7 import for around £10,000. I personally prefer them to the RX-8, of course you again need to be pretty dedicated to run them - they aren't cheap and parts/repairs can be hard to come by!
I'd love to say a Galant VR-4, but thats probably more around the 6-7,000 for a nice one so you may not be interested. 280bhp 4 wheel drive though!
Elises are fairly cheap to run, services at Lotus dealers can be a little expensive but still cheaper than Evo running costs. They're economical to drive too, 35mpg is the norm.
Can't beat good old fashioned power-to-weight
You need to be spending around 15k to get a decent S2000.
There are so many options, ranging from an Elise to an M5, from a sports car to a muscle-Merc (AMG etc). It rather depends what you want.
Porsche 968 with about 100,000 miles...
all the way
