No doubt; you want 3 cylinders, rear wheel drive, 6 speed manual. Now, assuming you have some seat time in something like this, it is NOT for beginners.

I would go for the fz07 or something even slower. I have little experience, and last time I rode a dirt bike I fell over trying to stop. LOL

Before I had my FR-S,I was driving a '98 200 SX. Not fast or anything,but I usually got between 430~450 miles per tank of gas,which came down to only two fill-ups per month at just over $30 per!
Parts were relatively cheap as well for that car. It was easily the cheapest cost to own car I've ever owned. Wish I'd never traded it in. |

IS300 would be my pick for a cheap reliable daily.
Edit: Lol I just read the first few posts re: your old IS300. Nevermind!

I will be buying a used FX35 for the winter.. can find some for dirt cheap right now and I am sure that even at 150KMs those things are still good for a while.

As a quick check, I went on Autotrader, selected $4,00-$6,000, RWD or AWD, Couple or Convertible and any distance from me.
There were 21 pages of cars that showed up, although I think about half of them were smart cars. The rest ranged anywhere from a Pontiac Fiero's, Corvettes, BMWs, Camaros/Firebirds/Mustangs, 300ZX, and of course Miatas. Lots of good choices, many of them I would buy. My favorite that I saw through a quick scan was a 87 MR2 with a "new" engine (300) miles, in Red. Sadly its an AT, though.
