Fabia vRS or any other small TDI to be honest... If you can get over it being a diesel you can have a pretty nippy car for £5,000.
There's a 240bhp vRS for sale on PH for £6,000 which will be reliable, not use much fuel when driving sensibly and fast too.

Out of the choices I would go ST. Out of the budget I would go cheap French and have a 182cup. I went for an ST due to requiring fun factor but reasonable insurance
