Nice swap. That will eat the Porsche Cayenne SUV thingie...
At least 25% or less of the Porsche price too.

Strange question for this forum, with limited choices too, but here goes... 
Coming from a 2004 Civic, the 2006 Civic will feel most familiar.
Likewise the Golf GTi will be similar in front wheel drive handling characteristics.
Quality and performance will be a little better, but GTi may be higher maintenance (parts cost.)
Mustang V6 will not compare well with the Golf GTi in performance IMHO, but will be a lower maintenance ride.
As a rear wheel drive it will handle okay, but will be too "soft" with insufficient power for such a heavy car IMHO.
If your budget can stretch, go for a V8 Mustang GT as a first choice, (V6 engine or suspension doesn't cut it.)
Then you also get handling and brakes with the extra power as a complete package.
Next is the Civic STi or Golf GTi (it's a draw... or maybe the 2-litre STi with a slight lead?)
Again you have good handling and brakes; just add a front 'helical' LSD (Quaife)
and a low-boost turbo kit in either case.
Now each example will be a "balanced" package... power / handling / brakes / looks.
My $0.02c  
Okay, here it comes... If you can really streatch your budget, just buy a 2006 Evolution IX GT or RS (without the rear wing if you prefer.)
It's a total package of performance, safety and looks with great resale value.
