What car question...
I'm looking for a fun to drive and cheap to run thing. Don't need epic speed. Rwd would be nice but not essential. Problem is all the cars I like have gone up in value. 205 gti, now $15k+ e30 318 will even cost 7-8k (aus). Even a NA mx5 is over 5k. So I'm looking at things I know, pug 306, 405 mi16 etc. What else could I look at?
Must be manual, fun and good handling and cheap. Anything else is bonus.

Fiat marrea? Same as 156 but without the £££ to buy. Had the 2.4 5 cylinder diesel for a while and they were miles ahead of everyone else in diesel land. Questionable styling and it's no m3, but does alright.

Southern hemisphere, fiat of that era non existant. You can find cromas here though... And lancia betas for not much.
Definitely after something lighter than a modern 4 door.
