Best Sports Car under 30k?

[YoungDr3amer]

I'm currently looking at the 09 and 10 models: Honda Accord Coupe, Altima Coupe, Matrix XRS, Mazda3 hatchback, and just maybe Civic Si.

What would you personally sought after given your experience or past purchasing decisions?

[D-3vil]

None of the cars you listed are sports cars. The Civic SI probably comes close to that definition, but it's still a FWD sports coupe.

Wait for the Genesis Coupe to come out, that should be more fun than anything you listed.

personally if it's under 30k i'd look for a used s2000

now that thing is FUN to drive

i wouldnt call any of those a sports car as well. Maybe "sports-car like"...still kinda a stretch :p

or try a mazda rx-8. 0% financing (48 months) for 09 models

i like the rx-8, but with msrp starting at $37.7k, it would be a real steal to get one for under 30k. . .

imho, the mx-5, with msrp starting at $28.2k is much more comfortably in his price range

with dealer cost quotes, i imagine he could shave a few thousand off the cost of either of those cars.

o rly!

get the cheap mans g35 aka altima coupe over all of them you listed

but look into
s2000
wrx or even the STi

and look into importing from the US

a brand new s2000 retails for north of $50k, so the fact that this is the last year of production is meaningless.

the op will be getting a 2007 model (3 years old) for his price of under $30k.

New 2007 Mazda Miatas can be had for less than $25k (6 speed leather)

[TT333]

Genesis Coupe would be my bet.

However, as suggested, you could get some pretty nice used cars as well. You're gonna have a lot of fun car shopping!

edit: Oh, how could I forget, MUSTANG GT!!! lol

the genesis coupe looks a lot like a restyled tiburon, especially with the 2.0t setup.
