What is the cheapest car that you could get excited about owning?

blue2fire · 08-13-2009, 08:06 PM

Boxster S and Honda S2000. They really turn the volume up to 11 for a relative pittance.

Artmasterx · 08-13-2009, 09:34 PM

Cheapest (while still reliable) would probably be either:

05+ subaru legacy 2.5GT
Mazdaspeed3

Both of these should be mid-teens with say 40k miles. Something like a Miata or S2000 would be fun, but couldn't really be a good daily driver if it was your only car. A 2001 Audi S4 would be a blast, but it could turn into a money trap pretty quick, so I am not sure I would that as a DD.

I new Mini Cooper JCWs would be great

What is it about the GTI for you? I remember looking at the R32 back in the day and it was a cool little car. What puts the GTI above the MCS for you? Just curious, I haven't looked at the new one very closely.

You guys are spoiled.

Old school Miata modded up. Now thats a fun car to drive!

EpicE90 · 08-14-2009, 11:10 AM

GT500. Out of the box it doesnt feel much diffrent then a regular gt in terms of power. But throw a tune, pulleys,long tubes, catback, and you are good to go . Will easily keep up with/beat c6 z06s for a lot less money. And lets be honest.. Looks badass

gonzo · 08-14-2009, 11:13 AM

OP.

You may need to put CHEAPEST in bold or something.

Some of these cars cost more than the cars listed in posters sig.

Thats ok, for some people the "cheapest" exciting car ma cost $60,000

Muffnbluff · 08-14-2009, 11:30 AM

Fiat 500 Abarth...if it comes to the states.

gonzo · 08-14-2009, 11:33 AM

Exciting to me means grins. I got more grins out of my old 280Z and 320i than I did with my 335. Most car brands have lost their soul IMO.

I do like the GT500, I haven't driven one, but they look cool.

Def out of all the American muscle cars, I like the Shelby GT500 the best. Way better looking than the new camaro or challenger.... And they added 40 hp to the new 2010 model!
