WTF should I buy (A consolidated list of bad decisions)

[Kaan]

As soon as you say RWD and in the $10k range you have to say miata. 3-4 years ago you could have added S2k (first two years) to it, but they are going up in price these days.

generally i would discourage anyone from getting into tracking with a AWD car. right wheel drive or wrong wheel drive, they both identify flaws and the AWD will cover them up to a point where an accident is usually catastrophic.

 

The C5 was also on my shortlist, too.

you said reliable... they likely fit that bill. not something i know a ton about. easier to maintain between the two would still be the miata. a lot less expensive for parts too (generally).

you can get an NC Miata for cheap... ryan has gotten that car to scoot pretty quick.
