Performance cars -on a budget, they all suck!! Options

[Rayme]

so I've been actively searching for a car that would be a little more exciting than the celica lately (sorry!) and what I found is quite sad. I'm looking for anything around under 13k but the more I search the more I find horror stories ...

First I wanted a WRX, but their transmission are **** and If I pickup a used one is bound to blow on me.

Second I liked the E46 BMW, the 328 more precisely, but it looks like E46 are prone to rear sub-frame damage due to manufacturing defect, real ****ty!

I thought about a DSM...woops crankwalk here.

350z are too expensive and have their share of "problems", though not as bad as the 3 previous ones here.

300ZX twin turbo are getting too old and are just money pit from what I heard.

Supra? Ah! their resale value are too high, though I would have loved even getting an NA.

MR2 are kind of expensive for how old they are now, JDMs are cheap but its a gamble and harder to get what you want.

2003 3.2CL type-S, Fast and reliable..6 speed with LSD! but..I'm not sold on how big that car looks...and its FWD :S

Miatas...I LOVE miatas but for what you pay, its still a slow car.

So far, I'm stuck! But right now I'm looking at 98-99 M3's..it seems those BMW are more reliable than the newer ones.

Anyone else have some trouble finding the perfect car? Some day I feel like if I had more money all that **** wouldn't be an issue. Sucks to like sports car and being poor

Wow, you are probably the pickiest person I have ever seen. You blew of great cars basically.

I personally have decided on three cars for the future.

The 2008 Mustang GT V8 spec one
The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX
The Subaru WRX STI

I'm going to purchase new of course. GOTTA START SAVING UP!
