There's a reason why Beemers are so cheap. Because any repair bill will be more expensive than the purchase price.

If you can get your hands on an early Elise, drop in a k motor, turbo, You've got an incredibly fast, reliable, great handling car.

I'm surprised the Honda S2000 didnt make the list... maybe if the list had 10 cars it would've made the cut since it drives amazingly, is RWD, revs to 9K rpm's, has a 6 speed manual, and is a convertible it would have fit in with the others nicely.

i personally think that the first generation porsche boxster belongs on that list as its quite affordable and is a mid engine car with 200+ hp and rwd

Test drove an '05 Elise. Still my gold standard for steering and handling. Had 6, 000 miles, $36K. Kept my MR2-S. A car that also should make this list. Still affordable used.

When the Elise came out Road and Track had it race around a track against a Ford Mustang Type R, with a supercharged 5 liter v8 making 500hp. The Elise beat the fucking shit out of the Mustang. When you give a car more power you make it quicker. But when you make a car lighter you make it faster, brake faster, handle better, better fuel economy. You improve everything.

I used to have an Elise II, early model 120hp K18 Rover engine. Not too fast in a straight line, but fast enough. And much faster than most in the corners. Good memories 😅

I've had three of the cars on your list: the Lotus Elise, two BMW Z4s (but E89s - almost bought a Z4M coupe but got the Lotus instead), and the Audi TT. All of them are good choices.

I can only speak of from new, though, so i can't weigh in on how they are to own now. Although, I did get my original TT back in 2017 when I got it back from a friend I sold it to in 2005. I ended up getting rid of it because my situation didn't allow me to do the work (boost leak and some electrical issues) it needed at the time, which was a shame, and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to cars.

I am still in touch with a lot of the people who had or still have Lotuses and I really haven't heard too many horror series. They're so simple, it is hard for much to go wrong. That said, nothing on a Lotus is cheap. You can get away with some of it because of the Toyota sourcing, though the Toyota parts are why I don't still have mine.

Overall, good work.

I remember seeing the first Lotus 7 on The Prisoner. Always loved that car.

You can get a Jaguar XKR 2007+ for under 30k. Designed by same guy who designed Aston Martins, 4.2 SC is 400hp, 5.0 SC is 510hp, Drives and handles like a dream, Grand touring cabin so no crawling in and out of it, can drive it cross country with no discomfort (I drove mine from Iowa to TN and didn't want to stop). I paid 17k for my 2012 XKR and sold it for the same price a couple years later. Very reliable car, no issues out of it, just needed something more practical to haul my family so I bought a Ford Raptor. Very under rated and overlooked car.

Man the Elise is Number 1 on my list as well, always been a neckbreaker when they drive by!

[themadpirahna]

Downvoted this because it has a vehicle in the thumbnail that isn't ever mentioned in the video, or the description. Only reason I clicked on this was to find out what it was. I despise clickbait.

I had the 1st tt and it was a joy now I have the mk2 tt with the vr6 motor and it’s better than the Lamborghini because it is so much more affordable and has features that the Lamborghini doesn’t have and you can actually maneuver in a lane to dodge a Pothole . 😊

[dougiequick]

Miatas drive like supercars too! Well down hill at least

[poncoolride]

I think an honorable mention would be the mecedes SLK, also Id definitely prefer a z3, especially a z3m over the z4.

[gtfawaynotnow]

Yea, I’m not agreeing with this list at all; lemme see if I can think of 5:

C5 z06 - it’s a track ready car out of the box.

Porsche boxter - it has a ton of aftermarket support so when you get bored of it you can add a hard top and a kit to have your own gt2

Any of the 2000-2008ish m113 or m113k equipped Mercedes amg variants.

The m113 is a strong engine that puts down good power and the platforms are generally fun to drive.

I forget the year range but the mustang cobras around the early 2000’s. Equipped with a sc 4.7 and independent rear suspension.

Early-mid 2000’s Mercedes sl 65 amg…..bc it’s a combination of both the best and most affordable quad turbo v12 platforms available.

You forgot to mention my 2019 Mazda3 AWD hatch with the 2.5NA (US spec). A whopping 186hp-186tq, probably 187.5hp with a K&N. Looks like a Ferrari FF but 1/10th the performance. I can haul mulch and soil without worrying about ruining the car while getting 34-36 mpg on the highway.

[Dethmeister]

I like the 968 and 944. I want an early Corvette C4 with the retro-futuristic digital dash.

[Mantaracer]

Best one to get is the C4 Vet, all others will cost a fortune to maintain and get parts!
