Is there any car as good for the same value? I don't think so! So am keeping Eddie. Happily
Before i bought my ED30 i had the same question.
I looked at a VXR Astra but they have very weak gearbox's, so weak that they just about cope with the standard torque

The ST suffers from dodgy alternators, most seem to be replaced every 20k miles.
R26, just had a Clio 182 and while it handled unbelievably well it didn't feel like it was made to last more than 5 minutes. I assume the R26 would be the same.
CTR have dodgy steering racks.
C30 T5 seemed a little to slow for what it was, i do still very much like them though and especialy in white

The only two that did come close were the LCR and BMW Series 1, although with the 1 Series it didn't seem to do it for me
