Default test driving sub 30k cars

Which of the 3 lovely cars would you want to drive the most? I can probably test them all at some point but time is limited and one of these will become a track only car at some point (mustang stayed DD/drag car =p) or would anyone have any recommendations?

I've driven all three and I found the S2k the most engaging. 14 second street legal go kart....

1. S2000
2. EVO
57. RX8

RX8s just dont do what they appear to. They lack a lot of power. They have a huge drive train loss and only have like 185whp.

the rx8 handles like a dream, but it can't get out of it's own way... i'd go for the evo.
