And to stay on-topic:
I'd recommend:
E36 328i convertible/coupe/touring. Stay away from 318 (or any BMW 3-series 1.x liters, and I'd recommend to start straying away from E30s, as they're getting up there in years and will start to have the common electrical/mechanical problems).
You can also start getting E38 (7-series) BMWs affordably. Lots of luxury and such. Just be wary of common electrical problems.
Any of the Volvo tri-digit models (740, 850, etc), and since you've already said you want something turbo, some of them are turbo.
If you just want a boring, reliable econobox, go ahead and get a Civic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it until you start adding "performance" and ugly cosmetic crap.
