MR2's kinda boring and goes light at the front at higher speeds and will take some money to make it handle OK for track use, Escort's a not so interesting FWD Ford.

The 2.3 16 is well engineered car, although a bit heavy & slow-ish unless you spend a lot modifying it.

If in Germany, I'd do as the Germans do - Get a decent BMW. Cheap and cheerful to maintain there and if the modifying bug bites you can just fit a bigger engine from cars in the scrap yard...

You should be able to buy a cheapish E36 M3 there, I'd guess. 4 door ones especially aren't popular..
They're not bad cars, although the Vanos can fail, they lose power if valve clearances aren't spot on and suspension bushes tend to perish. Nothing that can't be put right.
