I recommend either BRZ or FR-S , 2014- 2016 , in the color /transmission you want. After that, looks out for :

*try and get a 1 owner car if possible
* if you can find a RS /monogram '14, or limited FRS/ BRZ , then great... at a price you're comfortable with
*high... high miles are a turn off, but if it's 5-6 years old, with 40-50k miles on it, that isn't bad.

** Too low of miles, they'll tend to want more money ... but cars are meant to be driven, so too low of miles can be a turn off. The inverse is also true... with high-high mileage . The sweet spot is say a '14 with 55-65k miles , or a '15 with 40-50k miles , or a '16 with 30-40k miles . You get the idea....
