I’ve seen 10+ year old MT cars that fit my budget but I’m not sure if they are safe enough for a noob like me.

Priority as follows:

- reliability (wouldn’t break down on me)
- learning curve (i’ve been told not all MTs are made the same?)
- fun factor (something that would not make me swear off manual transmissions)
- resalability (I don’t really plan to keep it for too long)

I’m not sure if the budget and the list above makes sense but I’d be really grateful for your inputs.

Fun MT car would be the GK Jazz 1.5V. Sells for about 400k these days. Ticks all your boxes.

Best not to get anything older than 10 years old (so a 200k budget really won't cut it).

If you want a project car, gen 1 Miata is also really good but quite hard to find an unmolested unit these days, and even a well maintained Miata is still a 20+ year old car.
