very easy question to answer - RalliArt Colt ;)

you can pick em up used from private seller for around the $20K mark
and performance wise 0-100 in a bit over 8 secs
they should come with the balance to the 5yr warranty too

this one is on the market in NSW at the moment -

Stretch that JUST a tiny little bit and i'll say Toyota Corolla Sportivo. 141kw of high revving fury much like the fto and handles ok stock, do some sussy and it's almost on par with an fto. It's the same engine as a celica but shoehorned into a zze123 corolla. Nice little sleeper there...a lot of ppl just remove the sportivo badge lol.

Got 4 doors and a hatchback for all her shopping too lol.
