Yeah B6 and B7 S4's are pretty much $10k-30k right now, most are around $20k.

If you had to choose something other than the GTI...?

Oil issues galore. I hear those engines arent very reliable. Although......amazing sound.

GXP's have held their value really well, most are still $30k+
The GT's probably come it at $25k or less but then you're stuck with a slushbox.

I think it might be similar to the MK6 issues you read about here - yeah they exist but their frequency is perhaps overblown.
B7's have several updated components as well, most issues I've read about are B6's.
But it's still going to be a more expensive car to maintain than a GTI. No surprise there, it costs twice as much new.

Ready to race!
Used it fine but I worry about certain luxury brands and reliability. Most Volvo products seem find but certain R-line models like the V70 R are supposed to have problems with angle gears and transmission issues that can be very costly.
I really like the new Accord but leftover 2012 models have such great incentives it will be hard to pass up.
Still reliability concerns which is why I was more interested in cars known for fewer problems like a TSX or a new car with warranty like a Cruze + Trifeca tune for extra hp/tq.

Slightly used A3 (just enough to come in at your $25k cutoff)
Slightly more used A4 Avant (just enough to come in at your $25k cutoff)
Somewhat used Merc C-class (just enough to come in at your $25k cutoff)
New Fiesta (seems like it would be fun/tossable)
New Dart might be interesting, spec'd the right way

What exactly are you looking for?
"Nice sporty car" means different things to everyone.
I don't think that anything FWD is particularly sporty, which eliminates almost all new cars under $25k. The few RWD cars at that price are not particularly nice, which means there are zero "nice sporty cars" under $25k new in my opinion.
