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

Unless it has to be RWD then I'd grab a Clio.

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...

The S2000 has enough torque for day to day driving but has the added bonus of a manic top end for example the MX5 has 160 bhp 130lbft the S2000 240bhp 164lbft they're similar on weight too so I'd say test drive one.
Or a leftfield choice would be the RX-8 R3 they're more reliable than the forums suggest but yes they drink a bit of fuel but down a B Road you'll have fun just look after it & you'll be okay.

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?
