W8s are neat but kind of expensive to maintain for a "beater". Having to do anything under the hood is a choir. I know 2 people that have had them. One had a bad experience with it, and got tired of the little issues here and there. The other guy loved his but sold it and just recently bought another. They sound nice with exhaust.
06 Cooper S is last year for the supercharged engines (which I personally like)
07 Cooper S is first year for the turbo ones, enough issues with those I personally wouldn't touch one.
03 GTI...I love the 1.8T AWP engine. I have owned 2 2003 GTIs, one was bolt ons and stage 2, the other was Full APR Stage 3+ kit, limited slip, suspension and lots of odds and ends. They were both great cars for me, so much so the wife currently drive's a 2005 GTI 1.8T 5spd and it has almost 150k miles on it now, it has been a great car for us.
