Yeah, I'll tell you. I loved BMWs until about the mid 2000's If you can get the older ones there are amazing cars. Very reasonable to repair and give surprisingly good performance..
And there will be plenty of repair bills. My wife had a 2005 Z4. Great car until it hit 100K miles. Then it figuratively acted like the Bluesmobile when it arrives at Daley Plaza at the end of "The Blues Brothers". I really loved that car but we just could no longer depend on it. :(
@@seandezart8294he means Honda k20 not the Rover K-series. As good as the 2ZZ is, the K20 is a superior engine, sounds better and does indeed give more thrills
@seandezart8294 Yes, talking about the K20 or even K24. You can build either one to around 300 whp na. If you slap a Turbo on it, you can more than double the hp, and it stays together.
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'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.
Also HR 350Z too (Or any 350Z). Not the fastest, but a proper drivers car and great for drifting. Can pick them up cheap. Even the 370Z can be picked up for less than 10K

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.
I had an MR2 Spyder as well - with the 2zz swap it was a monster. I hit 200whp (I think they had it set to the "optimistic" setting but I'll take it) on a dyno and 2200lb on a scale.

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.
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.
@WSKRBSCT - I'm considering buying a 2005 Audi TT with the 3.2 liter engine from a friend. He says that it should be very reliable despite having 140,000 miles. What would you say? What do yo like/dislike about yours and what would you say is a fair price for one that's in good mechanical condition, but with some paint issues and well worn seats?
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.
The best bang for your buck is the C4. Certainly a less popular Corvette, but they have plenty of ass and you can get rhem running for 5 grand. All that Euro trash is complicate to work on and gets worse with age. The C4 is aimple, old school muscle. Easy to keep on the road.

I think Audi TT are not fun at all to drive. I ordered the first one when I was driving VW Corrado VR6 from 1992. The new Audi TT 1.8 from 1998 was so f**king boring to drive compared to Corrado and many other cars. TT looks awesome but drives boring with no inspiration at all. I was so disappointed. Greetings from a purist.
The C4 Corvette, particularly older models, can often be found at relatively affordable prices compared to newer sports cars. However, as with any older vehicle, maintenance costs and potential issues should be considered before purchasing.
If you are looking for brand new cars that are supercar killers and look great. A Kia stinger is a great choice. Top model GT is 4.3 sec to 0-60 and it’s a 3.3L V6 twin turbo
If you want good drag and cornering, reliability , cheap to fix, easy to modify, cheapest to buy= corvette beats all, c4,c5, c6, c7 are all cheapest to buy
For the Audi TT you can also get limited slip differentials from wavetrac for the front AND rear making it truly all wheel drive, instead of just two wheel drive with one front and one rear wheel receiving torque.
Very good list. May I correct? Audi TT and Audi-3 are too small to fit the Audi Torsen (mechanical) Quattro, these two have the Swedish Haldex electric clutch type was fitted. This makes todays typical AWD a Haldex type where it's 99% Front Drive and the Rear auto engages when slip is detected. Under very aggressive driving steering Understeer can turn to Oversteer in an instant and without warning. Several Europe drivers died in the early TT from this. I believe the Haaldex type is called "quattro" (all lower case)
My brother just got a semi-running C4 for $850. He'll need to invest a couple hundred in ignition parts to bring the engine back up to snuff. Replacement tires are going to be his big cost on this car.

I did my own turbo conversion several years ago on my 1994 NA Miata. Zero problems. Turbo was a used Garrett from an s15 nissan that I bought for 56 dollars.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest bang for your buck is a Fiat Coupe 20VT - yes, it's FWD, but if you want to drive so quick round corners that that is a problem for you, you shouldn't be driving like that on public roads!

It handles very well! But not supercar or even 90k sports car level. It’s a great example of driving a slow cast being more fun than driving a fast car slow.
7 Cheap Cars that handles better than Supercars: 1.) Mazda MX5 NB 2.) Mazda MX5 NA 3.) Toyota MR2 4.) Mazda RX8 5.) BMW E36 6.) BMW Z3 7.) Daihatsu Copen some of them may need an power upgrade with supercharger or turbo. but Handling is amazing on these cars. And you can buy them for less than 7000 bucks
just forgot to mention 7 Fast FWD Cars that are cheap and handles great: 1.) VW Golf Mk1 2.) VW Scirocco Mk2 3.) Opel Calibra 4.) Peugeot 205 5.) Honda Civic 6.) Ctroen Xsara 7.) Renault Clio
and then there are 7 Underdogs with massive potential for great handling: 1:) Ford Puma 2.) Opel Tigra (1) 3.) Ford Fiesta Mk6 [2 seater Pizza Delivery Edition with stronger chassis and less weight] 4.) Honda CRX 5.) Honda CRX Del Sol 6.) Suzuki Swift 7.) Alfa Romeo 146
You left out the Mazda RX8 it can be finicky but handles so well on 275 rubber and Tien coilovers. Stock suspension on 225s handled bumps like a C class while posting .92g on stock Bridgestones which were mediocre summer tires.
For the money...I love my Mustang GT convertible. But there were some cool cars on this list. I can see myself getting a Corvette or a Porsche(but not a slow one).
Not one of these cars drives like a supercar, the first two drive like exotics, and the last two drives like an exotic, all the rest only drive like sports cars. None of these vehicles drive a supercar. And the Audi TT DOES NOT "attract more attention than a Lamborghini."
That Pepsi reference made absolutely no sense at all. It did such a good job at making no sense that I’m still commenting on it having missed almost everything that’s been said after the Pepsi reference
Z4's suck, they are the same horsepower as their predecessor, the Z3, except they weigh hundreds of pounds more. They are bigger than the Z3, far less fun to drive then the Z3, and they are not appreciating in price as much as the Z3 is, so just get yourself a Z3 while they are still affordable, and appreciating.
purchasing a car like the 968 for 20k would be a huge financial mistake for most people. you either buy one that's been meticulously kept up and spend a lot more or don't buy one at all.
It's a shame that the very first car that you show the lotus Else is no longer cheap. It's inexpensive to own. But we're not finding it anywhere nowadays. At least not cheap.

It handles very well! But not supercar or even 90k sports car level. It’s a great example of driving a slow cast being more fun than driving a fast car slow.

7 Cheap Cars that handles better than Supercars:
1.) Mazda MX5 NB
2.) Mazda MX5 NA
3.) Toyota MR2
4.) Mazda RX8
5.) BMW E36
6.) BMW Z3
7.) Daihatsu Copen
some of them may need an power upgrade with supercharger or turbo. but Handling is amazing on these cars. And you can buy them for less than 7000 bucks
just forgot to mention 7 Fast FWD Cars that are cheap and handles great:
1.) VW Golf Mk1
2.) VW Scirocco Mk2
3.) Opel Calibra
4.) Peugeot 205
5.) Honda Civic
6.) Ctroen Xsara
7.) Renault Clio
and then there are 7 Underdogs with massive potential for great handling:
1:) Ford Puma
2.) Opel Tigra (1)
3.) Ford Fiesta Mk6 [2 seater Pizza Delivery Edition with stronger chassis and less weight]
4.) Honda CRX
5.) Honda CRX Del Sol
6.) Suzuki Swift
7.) Alfa Romeo 146
You left out the Mazda RX8 it can be finicky but handles so well on 275 rubber and Tien coilovers. Stock suspension on 225s handled bumps like a C class while posting .92g on stock Bridgestones which were mediocre summer tires.
Put the Pontiac Solstice on the list!
What's about mustang?
Love the 968
For the money...I love my Mustang GT convertible. But there were some cool cars on this list. I can see myself getting a Corvette or a Porsche(but not a slow one).
Not one of these cars drives like a supercar, the first two drive like exotics, and the last two drives like an exotic, all the rest only drive like sports cars. None of these vehicles drive a supercar. And the Audi TT DOES NOT "attract more attention than a Lamborghini."
Shame on you for referring the 944/968 -- they're YUGE money traps! My Porsche dealership won't take them on trade, they're that bad.
I owned one...it wasn't worse than any other 40 year old car.
Or u could just get a MR2 and swap the engine (2zz, 1UZ best budget.. or that mod'd 2AR has highest ceiling)
You got my like with the mom joke! 🤜🏼
For an extra 300kUSD they ship every car to Argentina
I mean the 6k to 10k USD C4 Corvette it cost like 50k USD to 52.500 USD and the other cars you will never get one in argentina
Bad analogy, Pepsi (with sugar) is better than Coca-Cola, always.
That Pepsi reference made absolutely no sense at all. It did such a good job at making no sense that I’m still commenting on it having missed almost everything that’s been said after the Pepsi reference
Any updates about aurelio
Z4's suck, they are the same horsepower as their predecessor, the Z3, except they weigh hundreds of pounds more. They are bigger than the Z3, far less fun to drive then the Z3, and they are not appreciating in price as much as the Z3 is, so just get yourself a Z3 while they are still affordable, and appreciating.
Alpha Romeo quadrofolio is about 40k used in great condition and is basically a super car.
purchasing a car like the 968 for 20k would be a huge financial mistake for most people. you either buy one that's been meticulously kept up and spend a lot more or don't buy one at all.
Which car is represented in the thumbnail? Is that a real car or just a fantasy creation?
It's a shame that the very first car that you show the lotus Else is no longer cheap. It's inexpensive to own. But we're not finding it anywhere nowadays. At least not cheap.
1996 LT4 corvette 6 speed manuel, fun c4
BMW: A Miata for people who like to spend piles getting their car fixed -- and doing without it while it's being fixed. (Full disclosure -- I have a Miata which gives me zero problems. Zero.)
I’m going to battle through the fact you just showed a car I’d never want to look at and called it favorite poster car.
The SRT4 was that way, too bad a nice one costs more than what they cost when they were new :(
Pepsi won all the taste tests (consistently) before companies with bigger marketing budgets used advertising to win audiences. I prefer whichever cola Im currently drinking and can easily change tastes to "prefer" to any brand. It only takes a month to transition to a different cola which will become the new favourite.
Now a list with cars WORTH owning that are fast and on this list.
Cater-um. We don't say ham. 😂
Allright sir 🧐
@@staLkerhu haha. Some place names are so badly pronounced we don't know where they are on about sometimes. Worcestershire is a favourite. It's funny as hell. Just tryin to help. 😆
