Looking for a car to replace a golf r32 mk5, will be using it mostly at weekend for fun.

I guess you saw this thread?

In your shoes I'd definitely be test driving some S2000s.

300ZX is getting on so unless you specifically want one probably not worth your effort hunting for a well maintained example with fresh bushes and such.
I just read this thread this is what worries me. I don't know that much about them either..s2000 is a squeeze as i am so tall and 300zx is to old

You need to define your criteria a bit more clearly.

Running costs?
Age?
Doors?
Seats?
Hard/soft top?
FWD/RWD/4WD
what so you mean by fast? Lap times? Straight line?

Caterham
Evo
Impreza
M3
M5
Various AMG things
Supra
350Z
Maser 3200
BM 645
Various yank metal

Can you push that budget up to circa £15k? If so I would seriously consider the 370Z as a GT tourer if I were you.

Alternatively a 987 Boxster S or the M3.

If you don't care for fuel consumption an Impreza P1 is a good shout.
I wish i could :/ I want something thats going to be fairly reliable to

Maybe not this specific example though
They are a bit out of budget
