Sub £6k, nice place to be, high mpg, lowish tax? Thoughts?

[Hark]

Looking for a nice run about (whilst trying to fight my badge snobbery) to allow me to have a weekend car.

Possible for £6k? Ideas?

So far I'm afraid I haven't been particularly inventive.

E46 320d
A3 Tdi?
Golf ?

Having had Audis and Bmws for 5 years, so many interiors feel really...naff

Also ideally needs to be around or less than £500 to insure, for this to work.

There isn't a single car in the country that costs more than £500 to tax after its 1 year old.

So, how about a Ferrari F430?

Typo sorry

Hadn't thought about a Volvo tomorrow, always took the piss out of my mate as thought it was an old man's car. Off to the classifieds I go to be educated...........
