Family car needed.

[mark_eire]

I've recently found out I'm going to be a dad for the first time! mad feeling...
Anyway, I'm going to have to change both my wife's and my own car for more practical cars in the coming months!!
I want something cheap, fast and fun!
I currently drive a 2007 golf gti 3dr,
My wife has a 2007 golf 1.4 TSI 140bhp (turbo/supercharged engine)
I was hoping to keep my gti and get something practical for the wife but financially that won't work with all the expense of a baby!
I'm going to get an 06 or 07 octavia vRS diesel for herself and get something cheap/fun for me albeit it will probably need to be a 4 seater.
Any suggestions?
I've had in the past 4 or 5 years in no particular order,
volvo 850R, audi s3, subaru legacy b4, impreza sti, lancer evo 3&5, celica gt4, bmw 530d, bmw m3 evo, bmw m3 e30,
I'd love a honda s2000 or something drop top although I don't think its going to be practical.
The budget will be approx £5k
Help.....
