Looking to buy, first sports car experiences?

You'll love the car but you'll hate yourself for buying it in 5 years or less. Financially I could right now buy a new 911 GT3 RS but I couldn't do much else but look at it and stay at home eating rice every night and that's not fun.

What I did end up doing was buying a used V6 Camaro and driving that from 18 till I was 26 and had to get another car when it was totaled by a sleeping driver. It was 2005 and I could have blown all my money on an S2k or a 350Nismo etc but a bought a V6 Tiburon SE. An excellent car and by not having to pay interest or high insurance I was able to buy a nice place to live, game consoles, take vacations, and other fun things.

You are very lucky that you have a great choice of fun, fast, cheap, hatchbacks being in the UK. That's the smart and fun choice.
