4. Subaru BRZ
The Subaru BRZ is a purist’s dream, boasting rear-wheel drive dynamics and a feather-light chassis that put the driver at the heart of every curve.
Its balanced handling and low center of gravity make it immensely rewarding on twisty roads.
Often compared to its twin, the Toyota 86, the BRZ stands out with its sporty character and sharp steering.
According to Road & Track, the BRZ is a genuine enthusiast’s bargain under $30,000.
