Different non-mainstream type cars

Your suggestions please! I have around 10k to spend on a car that could be described as ‘different’ or ‘unique’. I don’t want an eco-car!

I would ideally like a six cylinder petrol or diesel but am open to suggestions, I have considered everything from the Subaru Legacy, Alfa 156 , VW Scirocco amongst many others……Must be comfortable, not too old, sub £250 tax and reasonable on insurance, reliable and Fun to drive.

SEAT Leon Cupra can be good fun, Mazda 3 MPS, old model Mazda 6 MPS, Volvo C30 T5, V40 T5, there was a V6 Alfa 159 but it's the worst 159 because the V6 is GM, not Alfa.
