I'm in the market to buy my first car, and I'm seeking some guidance from fellow enthusiasts. I have a deep passion for sports cars and would appreciate your suggestions on finding a good one within a budget of 3.5 million. While I've always admired older models like the Civic and Lancer, I'm aware that the ones from 1996 and 1997 might not be the safest or most reliable options. I would like to know if these cars can still be considered safe for purchase and what specific factors I should look into.
Furthermore, I'm also open to exploring other makes like Toyota and Nissan. If you have any recommendations for sports cars within my budget from these brands, I'd love to hear them. One crucial requirement for me is achieving a fuel consumption of at least 9-10, as I value efficiency.
It's worth noting that although I have a passion for sports cars, I'm not exclusively focused on them. As an engineer, I appreciate a well-rounded vehicle with reliable performance and modern features. I've heard some concerns about heavily used Civics and Lancers not being suitable, so any insights on that matter would be highly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help and suggestions!
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.
