I remember the good ole days when you could get a fun car for under 20k…. Man 2019 seems so long ago lol

I bought my 6 Speed 2018 Mustang brand new in 2018. To this day, it still puts a smile on my face every time I start her up and drive off. Even driving to the grocery store is a treat. 🙂

2021 Mazda 3 awd turbo under 40k 250 hp and 320tq. Faster then a Miata and is funnier to drive. Though not a stick still the 6 speed auto keeps the power where it needs to be for fun. Plus it’s upscale interior and gorgeous looks. Really is impressive! With a 5.6 0 to 60 ya I say it’s fun. And mazda is what reliability looks like.

What about the jetta GLi or civic si or elantra n. Or TRD Camry

[michaelh]

Get a GTI, with the mildest stage 1 tune (just ECU), they make 300hp easy.

I've had my eye on a 2021 Veloster N DCT, but I'm now considering a Charger, Mustang, 86 and Camero. There's just a lot of American muscle, Miata's and 86's on the road.. idk

[Rishii]

Ecoboost or GT
What will your pick for great value for money

[gladesucks]

BMW M2’s are starting to drop just below 40k now, just to put another idea in anyones head who’s looking

[AbsolutMassager]

I would def consider the Golf R or the upcoming Civic Type R for this list. Unsure if the upcoming Integra will make the list……

[trewebster]

So you just gonna disrespect the LT1 Camaro like that😐

[saullemon.joyride.]

Dude, the new BMW 2 series 2 door coupé 230i. ??
I think it qualifies as well. !!

We have all sinned and fallen short of Gods glory and we are deserve hell but Jesus Christ died so we don’t have to go there just repent and believe.

Jesus loves you he died on the cross for your sins. All you have to do is believe in him and you will be saved. ❤
