As many with half a brain on here have said mk4 golf GTi for the small budget you have bro this is arguably the best option for you, reliable / well built / 4 door / fast (ish lol).

So spending money on a newer more reliable car isn't spending money wisely. Ive had my car nearly 2 years now and its cost me pretty much nothing. So I would say money well spent.
What do you base that assumption on?
FYI I work as a buyer/estimator for a large print company in the South East.

gear changes are horrid!
nothing about them is smooth, fluid, soft, ... anyhting you look for in a car.
even the sound of closing the door, sounds cheap and tacky.

Fucking lol!

Quite true.

Suggest you drive a car with proper suspension, as not being funny but torsion bars are shit, ask why they ditched them in the 70's on the front of cars!!

Yes as it has proper McPherson struts all round so its also a much better platform to develop from, and the 160 came with gas dampers and different bound rebound springs to poverty spec ones

The mg's have soft springs but don't loose grip and when mated to the LSD in the vvc they arnt to be completely dismissed as "shit" because all your mates down "maccy d's" joke about them. |
True also

Check out racing and think you will find that MGZR actually has a good standing in standard guise as opposed to the Saxo which lets be honest has sweet fuck all, even the Maxi 1600 was out classed by a fucking Skoda!!

Oh and as for a 4 door car for less than 3K 0-60 sub 7s
Impreza should be up on the list as well tbh it is what you are looking for deep down and there quick and handle well, once you have justified the running cost you would love it

A car with a headgasket made of cheese versus a car that's not really prone to any serious mechanical failure...
don't give me the 'UPGRADE THE HEADGASKET' shit either.
you can upgrade that's not the point.

another thread that has gone waaaaaaaay off the topic.
oh well, my 2p worth..
I quite often slate saxo's and tbh arguing that an mg zr (rover 200) is better than a saxo is like arguing that one form of cancer is better than another they're both shit to have!
however, in my experience of the cars i've owned (mainly jap and french with an embarrassing exception to some terrible rover 200 i had the displeasure of owning for a short amount of time) the best engine I have come across is the saxo vts engine. I doubled the standard power, track used it, abused it and it never once in 4 years let me down. May I add that no uprated/stronger parts were needed to be fitted to the engine to achieve this.
I HAVE owned a vts and I HAVE owned a rover 200 which is an mg zr without the bodykit and I can hand on my heart say if I had to have either again it would be the vts without a doubt.

some people love posting shit that has nothing to do with the question at hand lol
if you wanted a 4door, sub 7secs 0-60, and £3,000 ... why not go for a Jaguar X-Type 3.0 v6 sport: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3060335.htm
or even the 2.5 v6 sport: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2876749.htm
great cars, bullet proof, the most comfortable ride ever and meet all of your requirements lol
oh and anyone who has a brain cell will NOT pay anything more than £70 (scrap value) for a Rover with a fancy bodykit!
