I was not considering a turbo, or anything hardcore before, because I am not a street racer, I was when I was very young, but now, I just want to enjoy the car, so with that been said, I would be happy with 230 hp , and maybe 200 lbs of linear torque. I was never thinking on reach 300 horses on this car, and I used to believe that with the car weight and proportions, the performance would not be as bad as I do now

I agree with that, but today we have plenty of auto cars fun to drive, even ones that aren't sportscars, thanks to double clutch transmission technology. Prior to my first BRZ, I spent a year with a Mercedes C250 Sport, and it has a 1.8L turbo engine, connected to a 7 speed dual clutch trans, delivering over 220 lbs of torque before 2k revs. and I considered it more delightful to drive in sort conditions, such as gaining speed after cornering, or a simple overtake.

As you mentioned, the Mazda 3speed.... I know it is a quick car, and is a bargain comparing to other cars with similar performance, but I would never buy one, just because it does not have any appeal to me, to my eyes, as I judge its design poor, so as its built quality, and not to mention engineeringly speaking, I don't respect them, and it not just because it is a FWD. I used to love the R7s, and for sure these are the last Mazda that gain my admiration and respect.

I have a feeling that, for the kind of things you have in mind and the comparisons you keep making, a lot more than $25k will need to be put on the table.
