Top 8 Cheap Cars for Car Enthusiasts: Ideal Media's Ultimate Guide

In this exhilarating video from Ideal Media, the dynamic duo of Brad and Trav take us on a wild ride through their top eight cheap cars that any true car enthusiast would love to own. Buckle up, because this is a list that will leave you itching to get behind the wheel.

First up is the Nissan 350Z, a hot two-door sports car that demands attention with its distinctive and timeless styling. But it's not just about looks; this beauty packs a punch with its 3.5L V6 engine, delivering high 200s of power and a rear-wheel drive experience that will put a smile on your face. And with a massive aftermarket community, the possibilities for customization are endless.

Next on the list is the BMW 335i, a Bavarian masterpiece that combines quirks and boost in a way that only BMW can. With its N54 inline-six engine, sporting not one, but two snails, this beast churns out a stock 300 horsepower, which can be easily boosted to over 400 with a simple $500 tune. But, as with any German beauty, reliability can be a bit of a challenge, so proper maintenance is key.

If you're looking for a car that's all about handling and precision, then the Toyota 86 is the one for you. With its boxer 2-liter engine and Porsche-like steering, this apex killer will have you grinning from ear to ear. And if you have a penchant for sideways action, the 86 is more than happy to oblige. Just be aware that the boxer engine does have a bit of a drinking problem, so keep an eye on those oil levels.

Rally car enthusiasts will rejoice at the mention of the Subaru WRX, a street-legal beast that can tackle any terrain with its all-wheel drive system and turbocharged power. However, it's not all smooth sailing, as the WRX has its fair share of engine issues, including spun rod bearings and ringland failures. But for those willing to put in the effort, the rewards are immense.

Last but not least, we have the Cadillac CTS-V, a four-door Corvette Z06 that will leave you breathless. With its 400 horsepower V8 engine and a manual transmission, this American muscle car takes on the best of the European super sedans. And while it may not have the best build quality, the CTS-V more than makes up for it with its pure, unadulterated exhaust note.

So there you have it, a thrilling lineup of affordable cars that will satisfy any car enthusiast's cravings. From the Nissan 350Z to the Cadillac CTS-V, each car on this list offers its own unique blend of style, performance, and excitement. So go ahead, pick your favorite, and hit the road in style.
