Best car under 27k?

>>14254399
>not getting 27 corollas
But seriously, Ford a shit

Forgot to add, I've already test driven both of these cars. The BRZ was a lot more "fun to drive". It was nimble, the steering felt good, good visibility. Only thing I can't shake is the lack of power it makes. I was pulling 3k RPM at 70 mph on the freeway in 6th gear.

The Mustang was noticeably faster, the interior was a lot better, more roomy. It felt a lot more daily drivable, but I can't get over how huge that thing felt. Visibility was total ass, car felt a lot heavier. But it ended up being 2k less than the BRZ out the door, full warranty, and more packaged features. HELP ME.

Test drive both and see which one you like. Also ask yourself if you will regret buying an Ecoboost instead of saving a bit more for a GT.

ford has a turbis

worst case ontario, crate 302 swap

>>14254432

I already test drove both, as mentioned in my last post. And the GT 5.0 is completely out of the question. the brand new, fully packaged 2015 Ecoboost was 27k total, a base model 5.0 was 39k. I'm paying half cash, half financed,

give the Fiesta ST a test drive too, it easily competes with the BRZ in the fun factor department

Typed up before >>14254422 was posted.

Well OP, just ask yourself which you'd rather live with. Is a big car that bad, or is a car that's not quite as quick so bad? That 3k Rpm is where it's supposed to be though, that little torque dip is working to get you good fuel economy for long drives.

>>14254399
If you absolutely have to get one of the two, get the Toyobaru.

Mustangs are a dime a dozen. At least the 86 will be somewhat unique.

>>14254422
Mustang and spend the 2k you saved on mods. Although really I'd get a lightly used 15 gt even if I had to go over budget.

>>14254399
Don't buy either of these. You could buy a much better used car.

>>14254399
Get a gti

Lots of incentives from dealership to nuy right now

>>14254445
Us dollars? A basic gt is around 32 new. 39 is more like a track pack premium.

I've got a used mustang. Buy mine off me. I want to get a wrx

>>14254454
>>14254473
I did test drive the Focus ST, didn't feel that much different from the regular focus, besides make me feel like I was going faster than I really was haha. My first car was a mk4 gti and it was very unreliable, haven't really looked into the newer GTIs desu senpai

You should get this for 23k instead https://www.beepi.com/Buy/scion/fr-s/2015/JF1ZNAA19F8709354

>>14254507
Well, you could get a 2013 Toyobaru with less than 50k miles for about $17k or less.

>>14254507
>Such as?
>>14254497

>>14254497
I would love a Cayman, but this car needs to be a daily and a 2 seater is very impractical. And
>insurancelol

The focus and the mustang are REALLY similar to drive man...

>>14254513
Insurance is surprisingly cheap and Caymans are very easily daily drivable

>needing more than 2 seats
Do you have kids?

>>14254511
I wish man, I've looked everywhere for the last 2 weeks. I'm in vegas, and people want gold for their shit here. I could pay close to 17k cash, but people want 22k for used toyobarus, when I could get a brand new 2016 for 2-3k more.

>>14254507
My mk6 hasnt let me down but i dont like the way the new mk7s look But you might check them out
Also the focus rs just came out
Its out of ur price range but its cheaper than the 5.0 and in my opinion better

>>14254523
So go outside Vegas and drive it home.

For example, within 300 miles of where I live there's 20 for less than $18k. Three for under $17k.

You wot?
Base GT is 32k american if i recall correctly. With PP, the only package you should be getting it's 34k. And this is 2016 model numbers i'm pulling, should be lower if youre going 2015.

Subaru does not negotiate AT ALL on their WRXs, I tried looking at those, and they go for like 30k base. Say what you want, I can't fully trust Hyundai. And the only eurolux car I can get for my price range are all base models, lowest trims.

You will regret the ecoboost, just ask any ecoboost owner and they would say they wish they got the v8. I want an 86 myself but not sure about the reliability of the engine. I would get an Honda accord v6 coupe manual. At least it won't look like your trying hard and it will be pretty quick

Op are you a little slow.

The brz is the best choice. You know the old Honda NSX and how low it was? The brz will be more like that than the mustang. It has that sports car feel. The mustang is a huge car and doesn't feel sporty.

Drive the brz. You will soon realize it is the best even if it isn't as fast.

Look at motor trends ultimate drag races. The brz never crosses the line that far behind.

Plus it looks good and feels special.

>You know the old Honda NSX and how low it was?

Well, it's certainly closer to the NSX than the mustang, which is enormous by comparison. And BRZ is still smaller in every dimension, aside from height.

>>14257227
Most FA20 engine are under 100k miles its to early to tell how reliable. And yes I'd rather have a v6 coupe accord than an 4 cylinder Mustang. At least it's not trying to look fast.

>>14257293
>Most FA20 engine are under 100k miles its to early to tell how reliable.

They're closely related to the FB, which has also been reliable so far.

>>14254422
Get the stang bro. The brz is just an frs with an extra 3-5k for the subaru name.

>>14257334
>The brz is just an frs with an extra 3-5k for the subaru name.

Most Scion dealers won't budge on price. Most Subaru dealers will. And the price difference isn't that high unless you're getting the upgraded trim BRZ.

>>14257403
They won't budge on a new FRS. But for used, $19k at 8k miles is a great deal though

Pretty sure OP is comparing prices new. In which case:

FRS = $25,305
BRZ = $25,395 ($27,395 for the Limited)

But yes, the BRZ will retain its value much better than the FRS in the used market.

>>14257490

So when you posted the picture of the brand new Cayman, you were actually saying OP should buy a five year old model, in a foreign country, for nearly $38,500 USD?

OP said a "newer" sports car less than 27k. Didn't specify it had to be brand new. Or had to be dollars.

hey not everyone wants to pay more to go slower. if it wasn't for suckers like you toyubaru would be forced to not make shitty cars but thank god for the rwd meme lovers.

also your fake plastic fender vents complete the boy racer look i'm a big fan. throw an aluminum wing on that thing and it will be perfect.

I've test driven both these cars.

The brz has better visibility, you sit way lower, and just feels more special. That said it is true its slow. But if you can get over that its much better in every other way.

After getting out of the frs and into the mustang, you immediately feel like you are sitting in a truck. The hood is huge you sit way higher, and visibility is pretty meh. The power is much better and honestly the handling is pretty decent but the steering feels very disconnected and that accompanied with the high seating position makes it not feel like a true sports car.

The brz has all the attributes of a great sports car. The looks, the seating position, the handling. The one thing its lacking is the power. This is a huge one...but for me i'd still take the brz.

>>14254399
If you buy a FRZ you are an actual retard and we don't want you around. It's not that you like something different, it is that you have broadcast to the world that you are a fucking idiot and don't even know it.

We aren't a bunch of brand fags saying you bought the wrong car. We look at you and we see a faggot that is trying to buy himself into a lifestyle. You aren't a racer or a sports car enthusiast, you are a fucking poser. Nobody likes posers.

Buy a lightly used 370Z or a BMW. Mustangs are stupid big and the BRZ is pathetically slow. Also two seats is fine. You aren't going to be putting a car seat in the back of a two door anyway. If you are serious about the kids thing you have to buy a four door. Focus ST is nice. Its FWD but at least it isn't pathetically slow like the BRZ.

How about the Hyundai Genesis? It's lighter than the Mustang (I think?) and certainly faster than the FRZ. It seems like the middle ground between the two cars. Alternatively, if you don't like the idea of owning a Korean car, there's the 370Z, which is also a middle ground car.


Miata - light, slow
FRZ - light, slow
Genesis - medium
370Z - medium

It's close ratio with sixth being the only overdrive.

Though the auto has a taller final drive ratio.

>>14265433
Those cars make alot of sense when you have high taxes. In Europe there are no affordable "V8 moutors", even V6 are expensive.
Here those cars are good choices for the price (except for the Merc that costs over 70k €).
So you can get the ideia i give you this example:
>Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost 315hp - 48k€
>Mustang 5.0 V8 421hp - 90k€

It's also fucking unreliable. WRX isn't your Subaru wagon dykes drive.

If you get the Toyobaru, get a BRZ in World Rally Blue, my money is on it having the best resale value down the line, and I simply think it's the best-looking version.

I'm not a fan of the car itself, though. I haven't gotten the "special" feeling when driving them, it just felt like a Miata with a really good hardtop and the interior is cheesy and awkward. It certainly can't compete with the Cayman.
