What's the most fun manual car (not Miata) I could get under

Define "fun". Something on the sticky should suit your needs.

If you can find an FX16 Corolla, that car is fun as all fuck to drive

Miata desu senpai

Fun for me is zippy, revs well, but not necessarily speed demon tier.
There's a GTI selling for 3600 on my local Craigslist, but how are repairs on those?

My god yes

I would recommend the Eunos Roadster

if you want something that's like a Miata but isn't a Miata because you're a hipster get a Toyota Celica
if you want a car that produces actual power get an E36.

had one and that little bastard handled good and was fun to drive. I had the 80 something hp (lol) 4 banger. Slung it around a sharp corner going 50 mph once and it didnt bitch at all. Slowest yet most fun I ever had in a fwd.

Yea the little v6(1.8)is fun as shit in the twisties and sounds good with an exhaust.
I've red lined every time I drive it for the past 4yrs.
Best 1200 I've spent on a car.
Plus can drop in a probe gt 2.5 kl or jdm klze for extra ponies

Seconding this. They're a pretty good beginners car as well.

Paint that shit white, slap a turbo in it and you have yourself a god machine.

Yes

Anything with a 4AGE, either silver or black top. I've heard the AE111's are pretty fun and are quite unique.
