Primera E GT, or the later shape GT.

Cheap as chips, pretty anonymous and chav free, so tend to be inconspicious.
Some might say a bit boring, but I suspect they've never driven one if so.

If you've more money, a booted Civic VTi is almost that size, and very
quick. The thing with those is, they're holding their money now, and are
pretty bullet proof.

The insurance might be a bit dear, is the only downside, but who cares when
you've 8,200rpm to reliably play with... ;-)

Well, let's see. I'm sure you could find a Laguna as quick as a 1.8
Mondeo. I've never seen any rusting badly.

And they must be bullet proof. Who would want to waste valuable
bullets on something that will self-destruct of its own accord soon
enough?

Laguna has appalling reliability record, esp electrics. Stay away.
