If I want a C63 I have to find the missus a £2.5k runaround

Apologies for the boring same old topic but I think I've convinced the other half to buying into the fact we need a C63 estate, however I would like a little run around she can use for the school run and stables that will still offer a little fun when need be.
I will have around £2.5k left if I can get the C63 for the price I recon I can but just wondered if anyone could piont me in the direction of a budget pocket rocket.

So far she seems to like the C2 VTS???? surely there are more examples around???

I'm lucky that she is a secert petrol head and the deal was that if we were to get the C63 I have to find for something that can offer her a little fun when I have the C63 on a daily basis. We currently have a 50/50 spilt with regards to priced cars at the moment and will now be putting 90% of our car budget in one basket to get the C63.

She did mention a W168 A-Class Evo, I shuddered at the thought but then again two full black mercs might look pretty neat on the drive
