I just bought a VW MK5 GTI and am loving it. Super comfortable and plenty of get up and go. It's a few thousand over your budget but you should be able to pick up a MK4 GTI for around what your budget allows.

Queue the euro car is shit talk.

I agree......they are.

The Aurion suggestion is a worthy consideration. They go oright too........
