Hi Everyone!

For a while now, I've been patiently waiting for the FT-86, but was very disappointed when I found out it was going to be a re-badged Scion. I currently have a 2006 Scion tC and can't stand for the build quality. The cabin and internals feel cheaper than a corolla. Everything rattles or squeaks and is overall very disappointing.

Anyways, after about a week of googling and finding updates, I'm beggining to recondsider the FT-86. I want something sporty, that not every other teenie bopper has, yet economical on mileage as a daily driver; within $25 - $30k. I've narrowed it down to the following cars:

1. Subaru 216a ? (not sure on build quality compared to Scion)
2. 2006 Corvette Coupe (400hp + good gas mileage)
3. 2006 z4 M coupe (330hp and very rare)
4. Listen to father and put 30k on a house instead
5. Any other suggestions?
