Right boring car sorted, now fun car to commute to work?

Inspire me.

£6-8k, simply has to get me 10 miles on B roads twice a day and be fun and fast, preferably with a rag top, with reasonable running costs.

986 Boxster S is the obvious choice, there's a supercharged Mk 1 MX5 in Wales that sounds fun.

What would you get?

Definitely RWD, I can see the appeal of the clio but half the fun of going round a track for me is hanging the back end out on occasion...

I've not driven an S2000, I shall have to have a go. I'm not sure about the power delivery though as I believe you have to rev the hell out of it to make the most of it? Fine on track but I might feel like a bit of a tit on the road.

That MR2 looks like it should be fun, shame it's all the way up north, but good shout. I've not driven one of those either, will have to search some out more locally. A fresh Jap import should be good...

I've always fancied something supercharged ever since watching Mad Max as a kid, so could modify something solid.

A few VX220s fall in budget too, prices seem to vary hugely though, not sure if a cheap one would be a good buy...

I ran a Chimaera as my daily for a few years and loved every minute of it, I could be tempted by a wedge...

Not sure if I might want a few more creature comforts these days, and air bags...

Always been impulsive, just spotted a local S200 up for auction on ebay, and won...
03 76K No recent service history (gulp) and a few dings that I don't care about but I'm hoping it is worth the £5576 I bid... with the money leftover can sort out any niggles.

Anything particular to S2000s I should be looking for?

The S2000 in question tuned out not to be very good...

Probably worth the money but think a Boxster is currently better value.
