I recommend for a bit of poke a 1.25 Zetec engined Fiesta. MK4 or MK5. Make sure it has been looked after though.
12v Corsa is cheap cheap.

nissan micra, i found the 1.0 16v one was plenty nippy enough round town, they run on air and i suspect they are cheap on parts too, although not exactly much to go wrong tbh lol

I wouldn't rule out some form of turbo diesel. Cheaper to insure than the petrol alternatives and have 'poke' as required.
