The 1990 Mx-5 cost twice as much and was slower than the Gtti. The 325i and 200sx were obviously far more expensive. In the late eighties and early nineties, for most of us, the FWD hot hatch was the only affordable young person's performance option - preferably with a turbo

I was comparing the values of today.

Agreed. Their appeal is definitely nostalgic. I guess its the same reason why someone would pay 25k for a MK 1 Escort RS Turbo or 10k for a Renault 5 GT Turbo.
