4. 2010 -13 Nissan 350Z/370Z
The 350Z/370Z is a two-seater powered rear-wheel drive V6 which is available as a hatchback-coupe or convertible. The Z is the second most popular sports car following the Mustang.
The good news is that about all of those we find for sale have manual transmission. The 350Z is powerful and enjoyable to throw around the corners but the ride is firm and noisy and the cabin is cramped.
The Nissan GT-R’s V6 is loosely based on the VQ motor and even looks similar. The 370Z has replaced the 350Z since 2009. The Z is reliable, but there were a few issues with tires wearing fast, engine oil consumption and some transmission glitches that you probably want to research first. The 350Z reaches 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. The 370Z Nismo with the 3.7-liter V6 sprints 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.

The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 0 to 60 time is 4.6 seconds. The reliability strongly depends on the way the car was treated by previous owners.
6. 2008-2014 Dodge Challenger R/T, SRT8
Challenger is the ultimate Highway Cruiser from coast to coast. For a family trip it is easy, relaxed and roomy enough. Indeed the 5-seater Challenger is America’s most spacious muscle car.

When moved, the torquey V8 roars gorgeously. The Challenger R / T comes with 5.7 L V8, while from 2011 on the unusual SRT8 offered 6.1 L V8, and the insane 392 HEMI 6.4 L V8. For the Challenger R / T the 0 to 60 time is around 5.1 seconds. The 2011 + 470-hp SRT8 will hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, if that’s not enough.
7. 2008 – 2014 Chevrolet Corvette
Corvettes are an American icon and a name anyone in the racing industry would recognize. Corvettes are well-known for their distinct body style and high performance capabilities. While most Corvettes are priced above $20,000, the C5 generation is often seen for sale under $10,000 for coupes and under $20k for convertible models.
Top speed in the C5 is 180, which can be reached in just a few seconds. Those seeking high speeds will be delighted by the lightweight body and powerful V8 engine, so no modifications would be needed to enjoy high speeds on the open road.

9. 2017-18 Mazda MX-5
The 1.5-litre engine might only have 129bhp but that’s more than enough in such a light car.
Yes, a more powerful version is available but you don’t need it because the base model handles better and is more fun than it’s fierier sibling, even if it does deny you bragging rights in the pub.
The MX-5 range starts at £18,495 and it is in such high demand that you are unlikely to get a discount. It’s a new model too, so there aren’t many available on the secondhand market either but neither of these things matter because if you need a super-civilized, two-seater sports car for under twenty grand then the MX-5 is on a shortlist of one.
10. 2013-15 Subaru WRX STI
Unchanged for many years is the formidable 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four, which boasts a wonderfully tuned 304 horses and 317 lb-ft of torque at a mere 3,200 rpm. That means the WRX STI is loud and brash. In short, it’s exhilarating. It’ll do 0-60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, making it just about the quickest in the segment. Best of all, you can get your hands on one for under $20,000. Make sure you negotiate hard, though, because you’ll need some pocket change to pay for this gas-thirsty sports car.
