I'm a massive fan of the Jap cars and would recommend either the Honda NSX or the Nissan Skyline GTR.
I've had both (6 GTR's in fact) and can report no majors problems, cheap to maintain, very exclusive compared to other Germanic stuff and reliable as a swiss watch...Comment

Sports/Luxury and Cheap very rarely go together in the same sentence, I'd stick to your Fiesta if you're that worried.
Engine built like a tank, you can bolt on a turbo kit without changing anything or degrading the life of the engine boosting you from 308 bhp to 450+. You can put a twin turbo on but you will need to look after the engine.
Aggressive looking car as well, Boxters, S2000's etc all too namby pamby looking. You sit up out of the car when you have a convertible but you sit right down in the 350Z.
They are pretty cheap as well as people want the boxter just for the badge and pose. 350Z is a proper sports car.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

They are less than a year old as well so won't find much under 25K at the moment so not cheap. If you are spending 25K the choice goes through the roof. You can get the latest facelift version of the 350 for around 12K now. I know where my money would go.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
