The reasoning is you may adore a mk2 Golf but seeing as you are used to a modernish car it may be a bit of a culture shock, and owning such a car could be not quite as good as you first imagined. (mk2's are awsome this was just used as an example)
I've driven all of them bar the mk2

TBF Ant, my mum and dad had an Alfa and it didn't break down once in 5 years, not once, nothing went wrong at all.
Alex, if there's one in a dealers near you, go there. None on the net local that you could have a drive of?

saxo or 106 will be most fun to drive out of your list. everything else is just dull or crap imo.

If you want more power then a 1.8 non turbo a3 isn't really the way to go. I'd say redtop corsa but i am biased to fuck.
