>Nissan 370Z
Great mix of power and handling although getting dated. Transmission is also very clunky and it's loud as fuck (I own one)
>Ford Mustang
You need to be more specific but the 5.0s are great. Don't bother with V6s.
>(Hyundai) Genesis G90
Perpetually behind its competition, do not touch
>Mazda MX-5 Miata
Depends on the generation; NB and ND are great cars. NA is overrated as fuck and NC is kind of pigfat
>Fiat 124 Spider
No opinion
>BMW 2 series
Numb as fuck and sloppy, do not touch.
>BMW 3 series
E46/E90 were very good generations, the former being more feelsy and the latter overall a better car (better built, power etc.). Of any 3 series I'd recommend a 335i E90 or a ZHP E46. With the 335i you'll want 2011/2012 models (for the coupe) since they come with the N55 engine; the engine it replaced (the N54) was a moneypit. Don't fucking touch any 3 series coupe after 2012 or sedan after 2011; same story as the 2 series.
>Lexus IS
Very good luxury car, poor fun car. It's comfy, reliable and has a great interior but meh driver dynamics and no manual.
>Chevy Camaro
Depends on generation. Like the Mustang it's a very good car in V8 form, don't even consider the V6.
>Dodge Challenger
Cruiser with a decent amount of power and questionable reliability. Take that how you will
>Toyota 86
Not bad cars but outclassed by its competition, also a bit overpriced new.
>Subaru BRZ
Same as above
>Cadillac ATS
Not too familiar but I like what I've seen from some rudimentary research
>Mercedes C-Class
Not really fun at all to drive, if you want luxury then go with the IS. Also no manual IIRC.
>Infiniti Q50
Even less fun than the C class while also being less comfortable and costing more to buy/run; replaced the G37 which was a good car. Don't think it has manual but don't quote me on that.
>Infiniti Q60
See above

Note, I've done extensive research into most of these as I've been cross-shopping a lot of them lightly to moderately used.

>while also being less comfortable and costing more to buy/run
Meant that in relation to the IS

>>15549673
Do you feel I've omitted anything current in the realm of RWD/MT/coupe or sedan/no hatch? I've also considered the EcoBoost V6 Mustangs as a compromise between practicality and enjoyability.

Wow, a thoughtful and accurate response. Is this /o/?

>>15550276

Is that the look she gives you when you drop your pants after buying the V8?

>>15550276
I fucked up
I meant the V4s

Tbh a V6 3.7 with a turbo is fucking neat.

>>15549673
What's wrong with the v6 and ecoboost Mustangs? 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds is pretty decent. Those cars are just as fast as older 4.6 s197 GTs.

Or are you just memeing?

>>15549673
First off, how can you have a 370z and say to avoid the v6?

They can do over 300whp with full bolt ons (cai/cats/headers/etc)

If it's just because your car is more "balanced", be aware these new mustangs handle great. Even the v6s with shitty base wheel package WILL pull a G on a regular curve. Some magazine rated them at .86. Can consistantly get my friends up to that .9-1g area though, admittedly it was squeeling the tires at 1 and probably wouldn't do much more than that. And hell, they are 52% front weight with 12.x" rotors front and rear.

He is just memeing, a modern 3.7 V6 Mustang is sligtly slower stock than a 370z and as fast as some of the 350z versions.

Not a bad choice if you're in a budget and want something fast and capable of turning.
