cheap 240s are out there, and some of them are even in decent shape. Not sure what you meant by the "driving position", but I actually feel more cramped in my Talon than in my 240. Both of them have shitty seats, so that's not even a variable (although the S14 seats was a tremendous upgrade for the 240).
I'm glad that you chose RWD. That's all I'll say about that, since I just now have found the first FWD car that I actually enjoy and I don't want to end up eating my words if I find that it really is fun. I'm just afraid b/c of all the RWD platforms, it looks like you've chosen one of the "twitchy" ones. Not lecturing, just advising. As Andy will attest, driving the car with your head on straight and not up your ass will prove to be very rewarding.
I've considered an MR2 for quite some time, but I always shy away for it for several reasons. Mind you, I daily drive all of my track cars, so it has to be somewhat streetable. I take so much shit to the track every time that I almost always end up, in my theoretical plans, having to have a truck and towing it, or putting on a tow hitch like Boobies' Del Sol. It doesn't help that I always seem to have a passenger which uses up most of the storage room in that car. Keep this in mind before deciding, since not all events are an hour away and you'll need the extra room for those "just in case" tools and supplies.
