TL; DR but I highly recommend the S2000. It is a very fun, reliable, relatively cheap to maintain, great weigh balance and rwd roadster. It also has a fantastic stock LSD... Do drive one though because they are not for everyone as a daily driver... vibration from motor mounts and limited space are both issues with that car. A great alternative albeit a FWD one is the Civic Si.
I highly recommend against an MS3 or a GTI as someone mentioned... those are neat hot hatches but after owning the MS3; I will never own another FWD car with over 200 HP or 200 TQ. They are terrible to drive and the traction / torque steer issues take away all enjoyment.
