Changed my mind
I was gonna get a Starlet Turbo as my next car, however I have changed my mind and I think I'm gonna go for a Mk4 Astra 1.8 16v SXi or SRi.
Anyone had any experience of them? I've read some reviews and they sounds nice to me

Fairly pacey matey, 1.8 does 0-60 in 8.5 sec. Thats alot faster than my Furio. I'm not going for insane speeds, just something better than mine currently

astra: too common.
Glanza: rare, fast, looks mean, very tuneable.

a decent 1.8 sri astra will cost you more then that, and probs still have high miles. 
astras are shite, boring to drive, slow and just crap. Builds good but i wouldnt have one.

Astra 1.6 SXI's are pretty nice imo and good on fuel comsumption!
Also can you get them looking very nice and subtle with doing very little to them.
