    The Italians are one of the most vain people I know. One of their past time is people watching in the Piazzas. This is an Italian Car, it's meant to be shown off. If he really wants speed, then get the one invented by that Swedish guy. So boring that place Swden, so technical, but fastest.

    Kaya nga nila nimbento ferrari red color eh, to show off

    Para sa akin hindi practical gamitin ang sports car sa pinas, bukod sa ma traffic, maliit na daan e sira sira pa.. panu mo ma eenjoy e takbo yan, e malamang sa mahal niyan e double ang ingat mo sa pag drive..
    .
    E plus mo pa yung sa casa ka talaga mag papa gawa niyan kasi mahirap ipag katiwala sa ordinary mechanic..
    ,
    Mag susunog ka lang ng pera diyan.

    Again - Miata.

    Traffic? No problem. A 2.0 engine, manual transmission and a very light body means the same consumption as an ordinary compact.

    Maliit na daan? Perfect for such a small car.

    Poor roads? The Miata doesn't ride much lower than your typical sedan.

    Expensive maintenance? Yojin 3.

    Perhaps you've never driven on the Marilaque Highway? Or any of the fun twisties that our provinces have to offer? I have so much fun driving even with my ordinary sedan, I can imagine how much more fun it is with a Miata.

    ^^^ Mazda MX-5 is the world's best selling 2-seat roadster with close to 1M units sold.

    Isn't the Mazda MX-5 ground clearance lower than a typical sedan at 4-5 inches only?

    How much DNA of the Mazda MX-5 is in the Mazda 3? Is the MX-5 usable as a daily driver in the city?

    The Ceramic is very, very interesting... but I think the regular white paint looks better, and will probably be easier to maintain in the long run.

    The MX-5 AT is not as good as the MT, but it's short geared and snappy.

    The problem with the 86 is that between 2,500 - 4,000 rpm, the engine's torque delivery drops off noticeably... with the MT, you can drive around it. With the AT, coming from a stop, you have to wait until it gets into the meat of the power band before you feel any excitement.

    Against the clock, the two ATs are very similar, but because the MX-5 AT has short gearing and good low end torque, it feels more lively than the 86 AT. Also, the AT in the 86 makes it hard to adjust the attitude of the car on track.

    The 911 you get at under 1.9m is the 996. The older air-cooled ones cost more. For a good reason. 996 engines are notorious for eating themselves to death due to a balancer shaft issue. It's a crapshoot whether the secondhand you're getting has had the fix before permanent (hidden) damage has been done to the engine or whether it's been rebuilt properly.

    Still very tempting, now that there are aftermarket solutions to the IMS issue.

    An Evo is great fun, but it's a horrible daily driver. Incredibly bad fuel economy. It's like dating a girl who'll only have *** with you if you get her really really drunk. And when she's drunk, she likes to bring out the spiked leather and whips...

    I have a friend that can sell you his E30 M3, E39 M5 and an Evo VI TME if you're serious.

    Anyway, if you have the skills and want a very reliable and fast sports coupe, buy a Corvette C6. LS motor, RWD, Amazing handling and Extremely reliable as long as you maintain it well.

    S14s are expensive for what you get... though they are good cars.

    If you want the feel of an S14 without having to buy a converted car (be it a LHD JDM conversion or an AT-MT conversion of a local S14), there's always the Genesis Coupe... which feels like a newer, more grown-up S14. Not as much potential, I think, and the electronic throttle is a hindrance on the racetrack, but it's a much more relaxing car to use every day.

    Get a secondhand V6 6AT (first gen) with the Brembos and splurge a bit on an aftermarket suspension or a rear anti-roll bar and you're set.
