My dad loves his Elise and just keeps saying to me, why are you bothering with hatches, your young, if I were your age id go for something 2 seater rwd, unless you have kids id say S2000 or Elise.

Completely depends what kind of car you want and what kind of driver you are.

S3's arent actually that good 'out of the box' you will have to spend a fair bit getting the suspension and brakes to a decent spec before you can have some serious fun in it.
From experience id say either a DC2 Integra Type R or Civic EP3 type R, both have bullet-proof reliability and are super fun to drive from the word go.
You will spend alot less on a Honda Type R than you will on an S3, LCR, Ibiza etc..

I wouldn't see the Astra to get one, but if I had 5 or 6 grand lying around and needed a car I would have to seriously consider a CTR.
