Having sold my 205 MI16 track car I am now in a position to buy another 'toy'.
I'm looking for something that can do it all ... euro trips, the occasional track day and some daily duties.
Running costs are not a big issue but grin factor is as is a degree of reliability. Practicality is of no real concern either but coming from a stripped out and caged 205 the ability to just jump in a go with some comfort (stereo etc etc) would be welcome.
Ideally I want RWD or 4WD. I have up to 4k ish to play with.
My feeble imagination has thus far come up with E36 M3 (quite like the saloon) or a classic or bugeye impreza of which I prefer the look of the wagon in both cases.
What are the broad merits and pitfalls of the two suggestions? Once I've made a decision I can ask more specific questions around that particular car.
What else should I consider?

Oh and I'd love it to be as depreciation free as poss!
Thanks
