I've had a 206. I know that. But that's not important for this off-topic discussion.

From the choices given I'd get the Subaru, just because I'm a sucker for them. However please do try a Clio 172 or 182 if they are available there before you buy anything.

Also, take into consideration how easy and expensive will it be to get parts and mantenaince done to those cars. Ahh! almost forgot, check for the expected devaluation hit. I took a 70% charge when I owned a grey import in australia. If it's your employeers money you wouldn't care for that though...

Try the Mk1 Mazda MX-5, pure fun. If not then the Mk2 Mazdaspeed MX-5.

But speaking from the list, I'd say a RX-7 if you're willing to spend the money to maintain the rotary, if not then the R32 GT-R will do. I always thought the R32 looks better than the R33 and R34.

Some people's opinions are more valuable than others. I have never believed in that "power to the people" BS.

I'd take an Integra Type R. It's plenty fast while returning plenty of good fuel mileage. (saving you even more money)
