Which would you recommend? I'm looking at getting a car for the price of 4k-5k and these are the top contenders.
I'm not looking for a vehicle to get me from point A to point B. I LOVE DRIVING and HATE automatics and cruise control. I want something that's fun to drive even if I'm not racing it or carving corners. I do however enjoy taking my vehicles out and revving them up and hitting the twisties occasionally.
I have a Kawasaki Ninja at the moment and want a fun to drive car with a decent amount of cargo space.
My ideal vehicle is light and agile but not straight up ballsy when it comes to straightline speed. If I didn't own a motorcycle, a Mazda Miata would be my first choice.
I'm not about having a comfy and smooth ride. I'd much prefer a sporty and stiffer suspension.
The cars I'm considering now are the Mazda Protege5, SVTF, and the Vibe GT. I ideally want a manual hatchback. A VW Golf would be nice but they are really expensive for how old they are because of VW resale value being high. Also, if I had the money I would be considering a Mini Cooper, Mazda3 or MazdaSpeed3, Subaru STi, or even a Lancer Sportback.
What do you suggest and why is it better than all the other suggestions? Don't be afraid to call out somebody else's opinion and question it.
