Still the fastest, most reliable & best handling car I've owned to date....Sadly missed.
Was emotionally attached. Never again.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned going the RS route.

Although they are pretty fucking ugly, they're very similar in performance to a GC8, are cheap enough to only warrant third party insurance, and are very cheap for the performance you get.

I think you'll find most people will simply recommend the model they currently own.

Aha I suppose I am a little bias considering I am selling one, but I was in the same situation as OP when I bought my RS and I found it to be the best of both worlds in terms of cost and something fun to drive that wouldn't be the end of my life had I wrecked it.
