I would suggest a Subaru SVX; it puts out more power than a similar-sized
Porsche, will be at least as reliable, relatively cheap to fix (though they
don't generally go wrong) and you can still have a heater. There are 6 or 7
SVX wrecks listed on www.copartfinder.com.

I am in the process of finding bits for my own SVX conversion.
