Have thought about letting go the fr-s for a while to free up some cash for an e36 m3 for a while. A major repair/maintenance can run to 5 g's if your not careful though. There was a nice down-to-earth example a while ago with blown engine for 6-7 g's a while ago.
Integra Type-R is a bit similar to OP's vehicle. Decent back seats, and a major repair isn't all that bad.. Would like to see these things always worth 5g's if taken care of for life? |

Right now I'm eyeing these cars, all manual: Subaru Legacy GT sedan/wagon (semi-unicorn status) Lexus IS300 (semi-unicorn status) BMW E36 M3 coupe/sedan (likely a money pit but most fun to drive) Acura TSX/TL (the "safe" choice) Saab 9-3 Viggen (cool in a really weird way) I will need to start test driving soon! |

Saab 9-3 Viggen. Cool, weird and very difficult to find. Almost as rare as the Subaru Baja saw today. Would not be surprised the IS300 will not achieve 20mpg. Toyota was trying to create a "clean-burn" engine back then? |

E36 M3/4/5
Don't discount it until you drive one! It'll win for sure. If you do the small repairs and most of the maintenance yourself then it's not that expensive. The engine is also bulletproof.

I think you're better off with a Corolla or a Saab 9-3.
