1. Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

The Toyota Tacoma is a good truck, capable of towing, carrying and crossing rough terrain while still looking presentable. And it comes with a comfortable, high-quality interior. The engine lineup consists of several good engines starting with a fuel-efficient 2,7-liter V6. For off-road fans, there is the TRD Pro trim, which adds the components to make the Tacoma into a rock crawler and desert warrior. The interesting thing is the fact that you can get it with the manual.

1. Porsche Cayman S

For over 20 years, the Porsche Boxster/Cayman has been one of the best, most affordable cars. The mid-positioned flat-six engine, rear wheel drive, signature Porsche quality, and perfect handling made the Boxster or Cayman a favorite for twisty roads. It offers you 90 percent of the Porsche 911 driving feel for 60 percent of the 911 price, which is a great deal. However, in true Porsche fashion, the Cayman comes with a manual transmission. Although it is slower than the automatic model, this is the one you should get.
