If I can stretch the budget a little more i'd take the Mercedes C180 Classic, I think its 2.480M at the moment. It may only have a 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine but for me its still a proper Benz unlike an A or a B class and has the "snob appeal" which the Accord, Camry and other Jap cars are lacking. Another alternative would be a BMW 320i which is a very good handling car.
