Insurance and running costs I'd imagine should be partly a contributing factor?
£3k doesn't seem like a huge budget to pick up a decent one of any of those listed tbh.

200SX. Only car with the proper wheels being driven.
the SR20DET is a great stong engine, watch out for any vvt rattle. Will return around 25mpg and is very easily tuneable for more power.
Parts are abundant and if reckon the running cost will be less than the others listed.

182 would be a dog for £3k, could pick up a tidy 172 though or even a 172 cup
