In the realm of first cars, the Mazda Miata stands tall as a true icon among enthusiasts. With its lightweight build and engaging driving experience, it's like having a party-ready short friend always up for a good time. Moving on to the Toyota GT86, Subaru BRZ, and Scion FRS trio, these rear-wheel-drive machines offer a bit more punch with their 2L flat 4 engines, perfect for customization and spirited driving. The Subaru WRX, a rally legend, brings all-wheel drive and turbocharged power to the table, making it a thrilling choice for those seeking excitement in rough conditions.
For those craving American muscle, the C4 Corvette steps in as an affordable yet powerful option with its V8 engine and retro design. Transitioning to the Ford Mustang, both the fourth and fifth generations offer classic muscle car vibes with V6 or V8 variants, providing a loud and attitude-filled driving experience. The Lincoln LS, a sleeper sedan with a V8 engine, combines comfort and speed, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a blend of luxury and performance.
Shifting gears to the BMW E46 330i ZHP, this hidden gem in the 3 Series lineup offers a balance of luxury and driving dynamics, akin to a four-door M3. The Nissan 350Z, a Japanese rear-wheel-drive sports car, delivers strong performance and a tuner-friendly platform for enthusiasts looking to customize. Lastly, the Volkswagen Golf emerges as a versatile hatchback option, offering practicality, build quality, and a fun driving experience—all wrapped in a cool package. These top picks from Ideal cater to a range of tastes and preferences, ensuring that first-time car buyers can kickstart their automotive journey with style and excitement.
