So is this not your only car? For me I would rock an S2K for a second car in that budget. Maybe a C-5 vette since I am very familiar with the drivetrain. Again thats if it is a second car.
+1ā¦ I absolutely love the sound of the G35ās
listed above, but third if you count my bike.
g35ās are pretty nice, and you dont see many of them aroundā¦ honestly i didnt even think of them
a 330 can be had for 15kā¦
330 /= m3
$15k /= $20k
so, is this a car only for nice summer days?
20K you can get a VERY nice M3.
I will say there are some thing to look out for if he intends this kind of route
Correctā¦ and 330ās fail to even get close to comparing to their M counterparts
Its like night and day.
butā¦i like 330 ZHPs. 
Donāt listen to what 99.9% of what people on here say about rotary engines. Your friend said to watch the oil because they consume it (about a quart every 3,000 miles) and if you run it dry itāll hurt your motor, like any motor. The rx8 does get poor gas mileage. Stock itās a VERY fun track car and n/a rotaries are reliable.
S2ks are really fun and quick enough inside the powerband. I donāt know anyone that has been unhappy with theirs. 350zās you definitely have to drive firstā¦ I think people love them or hate them. To the guy who said rx7ā¦ donāt. Theyāre not not not not the car for you if youāre on a budget. Unless you buy an FC or something.
A mazdaspeed3 would be really cool if you could ever find one. Theyāre an awesome DD or track car and respond really well to modding. A couple hundred bucks will gain you +50rwhp. Thatās one thing to consider about the s2kā¦ not turbo so costs more to get more horsies.
and the GTO is super slow and has an interior like a 96 grand am. lol @ āit has 400hp it must be fastā
donāt think about a WRX as a summer car. i love mine but i āslaveā it through the winter for funā¦ i would go for a S2K for a summer car, then a Z.
it all depends if you wish to do any mods on the vehicles as well- good luck man, any new car will probably make you happy.
s2k!! Top down/6spd/9000redline/vtec/rwd fun! Oh and then there are blowers that put them at 400whp!
if strictly for summer I say the S2000, if a daily driver I say GTi
im between an 06 wrx, an s2k, or an rx8ā¦ strictly summer car maybe a few track daysā¦ but i might just bring the cuplite if i go to those
what dont people get about 99.9% of the planet NOT thinking a legacy GT is cool.
RX8 sucks so muchā¦
agreed. but iād drive it over a legacy
Out of those choices, since it will be a summer car only, I whole heartedly vote S2k.
nice cars, id never buy oneā¦
and everyone says s2kā¦ im still undecided.
