If you could buy a somewhat entertaining car what would you pick

How many 2er have you seen in severe collisions?

I mean to be fair, when was the last time someone saw a 2er on the road? Not a mass produced vehicle.

How many 2er have you seen in severe collisions?

2s are not common. Like sized cars are. I drive a 5. That is about the size I'd stick with. The passenger car fatalities I have witnessed were generally in vehicles hit from the side and lower to the ground than the opposing vehicle.

However, driving a fun car is what life is for on some days.

I'm 6'3 and test drive a Miata once. It was fun. They're not fast but they're so small they feel fast. But I could barely get in it, my legs were all shoved into the door panel and console, and I could barely get out of it. I felt awkward!

My eyes were level with the top of the windshield frame on the one I sat in.

4k above budget but most non-appliance stuff on Craigslist for 6 grand is going to be either filled with crystal meth or bodily fluids and often both. Small fun and unique. How about a JDM Rover mini?

The most fun car I ever owned was a 1967 Impala. The second most fun was a Mazda3, and that actually meets the OPs specifications.

My $6K went to a down payment on my fun to drive car. And it sure is a blast.

I like the Stinger a lot. A RWD GT2 would be tempting- if I could find one...

And the OP ended up with a Focus ST from 15 years ago.

To each their own, but that was not my idea of an "entertaining" car. Not even remotely close.

Easily tweaked to some serious power levels for its size and a blast to drive.
