thk man
Not sure where u got Zenos E10 for 3k when they run about 50k on average 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@67LOCsiNYC at no point in the video does he say that the E10 is 3k. He says 15-20k
My welcome?? Where?
@@chaphammersmith9540 Exactly. How weird
There's a reason why Beemers are so cheap. Because any repair bill will be more expensive than the purchase price.
This is true. I found one locally for about $7k -- but the CarFax showed the last dozen owners had basically rebuilt the whole car! 🤣
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..
@@LordHolleyyep. I've had a bunch and now I have an E36 coupe. LOVE IT ! SO easy to work on
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. :(
No fun car is cheap. But as a BMW enthusiast, if you do the work yourself and keep up the maintenance, it's worth the fun
If you can get your hands on an early Elise, drop in a k motor, turbo, You've got an incredibly fast, reliable, great handling car.
This Guy knows the secret
I don't believe the K will beat the Toyota engine for thrills.
@@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
Thanks 🙂@@chaphammersmith9540
@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.
That would be a fun one for sure, but it's so very small. I'd be scared to drive it on a busy road. Back roads only!
“To add speed, add lightness.” -Colin Chapman.
i personally think that the first generation porsche boxster belongs on that list as its quite affordable and is a mid engine car with 200+ hp and rwd
And add about 8500 grand for a new engine as they have a fault in the first gen. To bad 944's went WAAAY up in value.
@@williamhutchins479if you haven't had the problem then the issue can be avoided. They even male a sensor now to help determine if the IMS is going bad.
I totally agree with you.
@@williamhutchins479 Engine bearing IMS failure rarely brakes the engine. Just Change IMS when you do clutch if you want to prevent. When fixed it's more reliable then a Willys Jeep ;)
@@fulltonefulltone Dang. There goes my cheap 911 project.
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. A riot of a featherweight. I always wondered how the much more serious but surprisingly not that much lighter Elise would compare. For the performance the car was absurdly cheap - everything was small, common, and experienced very little wear. Even on mostly open throttle long drives on windy backroads for hours I never managed to get it under 20mpg - 30+ was easily achievable. Debaged it made many scratch their head or argue about what kind of "Porsche" it was. I never bought it for status but it certainly turned more heads than I expected. Miss it dearly.
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.
I own a s2000 ap1 and a ferrari 360 Spider Let me tell you that i enjoy them both Equally (both are stock no modifications whatsoever)
I drove one 50,000 miles and it never required a singe repair, never mind the power to weight ratio, fuel economy, handling, and looks.
They are not that cheap that's why I think
Yea, I’m not agreeing with this list at all; lemme see if I can think of 5:
C5 z06 - it’s a track ready car out of the box.
Porsche boxter - it has a ton of aftermarket support so when you get bored of it you can add a hard top and a kit to have your own gt2
Any of the 2000-2008ish m113 or m113k equipped Mercedes amg variants.
The m113 is a strong engine that puts down good power and the platforms are generally fun to drive.
I forget the year range but the mustang cobras around the early 2000’s. Equipped with a sc 4.7 and independent rear suspension.
Early-mid 2000’s Mercedes sl 65 amg…..bc it’s a combination of both the best and most affordable quad turbo v12 platforms available.
Downvoted this because it has a vehicle in the thumbnail that isn't ever mentioned in the video, or the description. Only reason I clicked on this was to find out what it was. I despise clickbait.
Thank you. I hate click bait automatically thumbs down and no scribe
I used to have an Elise II, early model 120hp K18 Rover engine. Not too fast in a straight line, but fast enough. And much faster than most in the corners. Good memories 😅
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?
I had the 1st tt and it was a joy now I have the mk2 tt with the vr6 motor and it’s better than the Lamborghini because it is so much more affordable and has features that the Lamborghini doesn’t have and you can actually maneuver in a lane to dodge a Pothole . 😊
I remember seeing the first Lotus 7 on The Prisoner. Always loved that car.
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.
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.
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
Best one to get is the C4 Vet, all others will cost a fortune to maintain and get parts!
Man the Elise is Number 1 on my list as well, always been a neckbreaker when they drive by!
They honestly look better than Lamborghini ususes
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.
Great vid brother
Best buy is the Corvette. Reliable, cheap, the fastest and the most fun to drive.
lol at "cater-ham" great video though! I just couldn't help but laugh a bit at that pronunciation.
I think an honorable mention would be the mecedes SLK, also Id definitely prefer a z3, especially a z3m over the z4.
“If you don’t want a 400hp corvette, try this 184 or 225HP BMW for the same price! At least it weighs one American less than the Corvette”
3.0 si is 265bhp
It’s more than enough for the road.
yep cant beat that v8- 400+hp in a 3100lb z06
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
There's a guy on TH-cam who took a Lotus Elise and brought it up to 850hp.
Yet the C5 and C6 Corvettes didn't make the list despite being both affordable, (C5=
I like the 968 and 944. I want an early Corvette C4 with the retro-futuristic digital dash.
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!
I have a 1998 BMW Z3M Roadster... I went in to drive a 2003 911 carerra AWD... but the Z3M stole my heart! And it has appreciated nicely simce then
Miatas drive like supercars too! Well down hill at least
with most older sport cars its hard to find parts. the trick is to find ones that have a healthy aftermarket. i like the 300/350z nissan and corvettes/cameros. try finding a lotus part 30 years ago.
What is the red 2 door coupe that was shown in opening & closing? That's the one that stands out for me!
I’m actually surprised that he mentioned the Audi TT it’s really underrated and it’s so fun to drive
They came with 1.8 t 5v efi. Good base for tuning. Can do 400bhp easy.
@@davidedgar7338 they dont do 400 easy, atleast not for long.
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.
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.
You got my like with the mom joke! 🤜🏼
What is the brand of the red car with gold wheels?
Bad analogy, Pepsi (with sugar) is better than Coca-Cola, always.
Although heavier I think, but I would take Volvo T5 (0-60 in 5.5) over Audi TT any day.
The Alpine A110 is a good option aswell
Lotus Elise’s are well over 40k for a clean title; 38-39 for rebuilt and over 50k for OEM SC
Love the 968
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.
what website are you using too find these cars?
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.
what is the red car on the video thumbnail? I'm not familiar with it. I would love to found out the make and model.
Turbo Miata ! Better than a Supercar for the very modest running costs.
Turbo Miata modest running costs hehehe... in your dreams! All turbo converted cars are a never ending problem for all I knew of, and many many others if you look it up. Love the Miata.
Better to by a ready Turbo engine then converting, if you want reliability and no money wasting.
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.
You forgot about the Porsche 944 turbo, Mitsubishi 3000gt, Ford Granada, Dodge Charger, Mercedes CL500, 2018 Lincoln Continental, AMC Javelin, 2006 Infinity G35 Vader kit, & 1968 Mercury Cougar
Lotus Elise is a legendary vehicle. Any true petrolhead lusts after one.
Surprised the Saturn sky redline isn’t on here , car is an up and comer for sure
Hi, can you recomend on wich web to look fo a cars in USA? Thanks
The World of Make Believe web site. All these and more!
"Legends Like tesla Roadter" I Alsmost Fell Out of My Chair LMFAO ! !! :D :D:D:D
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."
2023 BRZ is 30K, handles like a Supercar however a bit lower on horsepower
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.
@@thebrandonw2742 swap a 1.5j or 2j thing is kickin
What is the Red Car showing 7500 in the background in order to click on video?
So true lol most of the cars presented in the video don't look like super car at all 😂
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)
Bmw Z4 price stil about 60,000 usd in my country😢
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
What's the car in the thumbnail and at the end?
The Elise is a great choice and it's appreciating in value.
I own one, and have been checking prices lately. If Bing is to be believed, they are ranging in the 25k range, and that's kind of sad, given the fact that I bought mine when you couldn't get one for under 40.
Bmw e46 is a good option, and maybe the same about old x3 and x5 too
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.)
You forgot a Miata with a turbo kit. Cheaper and will outperform most of these cars as well.
Put the Pontiac Solstice on the list!
What car is the one in the thumbnail?
Alpha Romeo quadrofolio is about 40k used in great condition and is basically a super car.
1996 LT4 corvette 6 speed manuel, fun c4
Where do people find < 10k C4s manual?
There's Super 7's and ONLY Super 7's.
Excellent condition, used prices, UK...
DAX Rush V8, £15k
MK Indy, £12k
GBS Zero, £10k
Tiger Super Six, £8k
Westfield SEi, £14k
Luego Velocity, £7k
Locost 7, £7k
Robin Hood, £7k
Formula 27, £7k
GTS Panther, £14k
Good report but this is not news to me. The real fact is that most fast cars will never be truely driven fast. For most motorist's it's all about the impression of speed through appearances and noise. To put it realistically, most super cars are like buying a speed boat to use in a swimming pool. Or to put it mildly they are like buying a motor home to drive around Venice.
The SRT4 was that way, too bad a nice one costs more than what they cost when they were new :(
Buy C4's NOW! they are poised to spike in price DRAMATICALLY!!! So do yourself a favor, get one now, stick it in your garage and clean it up a bit, and wait a few years. It will resell for TONS more than what you paid.
Or u could just get a MR2 and swap the engine (2zz, 1UZ best budget.. or that mod'd 2AR has highest ceiling)
Car in the thumbnail was never mentioned. I hate clickbait.
„Cheap” 🧢🧢🧢
The stigma of a Miata, the most raced car in America?
What was the car on the title screen
Looks like a fake-o mode but it might be real
Yeah, I was wondering that too.
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.
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.
What is the red car shown in the thumbnail and at the end? It doesn't look like any of the 7 cars in the video...
Miata???? ☹️
can't wait to see some work on bozo's rx7 :))
Lotus equals handling. Understand that anything that easily goes past 100mph WILL lose you your license one day! Heh, Loti too!
I'm looking at 968 prices. They are all between $28,000 - $80,000 USD for running vehicles in decent condition.
Yeah, 968's all over the world have gone up. I bet the people who put this vid together didnt actually find cars at these prices, they just made up figures for clickbait
Is it affordable in the US?
What is a cater ham?
TFW the Audi tt has the same exact exterior color paint matched interior as the VW new beetle
I was laughing when he said the car has 4 cylinder
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.
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.
CHEAP? Are You Kidding Me? CHEAP? Maaaaan! If They Cheap, Gift me One ;D
Elise is Pepsi? I'll be damned 🤣
dont forget the aston martins, some of them have been dropping like birds.
i have a v12 vantage S, those cars are dropping.
around 90k-300k.
that audi tt atracted girls that wanted to own it not that wanted their man to own such girly styled car xD The newer version though looks much more masculine

I judge sports cars by how fun they are to drive as opposed to spec wars or even reviews with lap times etc....a car can have great sales numbers great specifications and fast review lap times and yet apparently be not much fun to drive in the twisties (for the average owner that is). I do not even need to drive the various models to KNOW what I speak of...I simply take note of what is NOT being driven on the local super fun mountain roads of southern california. What I see a TON of is ND Miata and Porsche (note I am NOT counting car clubs just individuals out playing) Interestingly I rarely see corvettes nor the various pony cars. There are a crap load of these models registered and being daily driven no doubt but they must not be FUN to drive otherwise? WHERE ARE THEY? The Miata owners? They must love driving those little jewels I see them so often....and Porshes? Loads of Caymans and 911s. I am rather amazed though I see so few BRZs and 86s? I see quite a few BMWs but I am not qued into which is which but I am thinking some of those must be fun....the Toyota badged BMW though? The Supra? sew and far between although I was chasing one the other day (was easy to keep pace with) who completely lost it spinning into oncoming lane (luckily without incident) after which he/she exited to the next scenic turn out lol....It would be awesome to use facial recogntion type software but for CAR BODIES and set up a camera capturing each vehicle entering various fun mountain roads and then have the software list models and how many of each....my advice IF you are actually shopping for sports car to ENJOY in the twisties? Focus your budget on Miatas and various 911 Cayman and Boster Porsches....should cover budgets from $10k all the way to hundreds of thousands for your GT3s and GT4s etc....I bet Lotus has some very fun models also they are just a bit rare to see many probably
Interestingly the other day a large car club (maybe 30 cars idk) drove RIGHT PAST this super fun 21 miles of mountain road route I was waiting to cross the highway to drive.....but they all just bypassed it altogether in favor of comparitvely really boring heavily patrolled highway heading out towards the desert I recon....the car club was all these bitchen prisitne looking vintage old old Porsche air cooled....I thought to myself "SERIOUSLY? They actually came all this way and they going to bypass THIS? LOL WTF??? In Sports cars??? WOW! What a giant FAIL IMHO lol.....
apart from the Lotus -- I'm not sure any of these cars are really special, or even desirable. My opinion, obviously.
If any sport car is 5k in usa, in indonesia it can be 30k - 50k
surprised you didn't pick up on the saturn sky redline, rear wheel drive, small, tracks well, 260 to 300 hp with factory tune
