If you are American and normally drive cars with automatic transmissions, any shitbox with a manuél will feel like a racecar.
It happened when my buddy got an $800 Geo Prizm. Plus the thing was cheap and old, so it was nice and loud too. Racecar vibes all day.

With all due respect, I advise that you may want to check your redundancies.
Neon SRT-4, good luck finding one that isn't riced or beat to shit.

Gotta admit this one. Super cheap cars, and Neons did well in autocross events.
I had a R/T one and it was fun to drive for what it was.

Sorry I meant cheaply built. Even with the windows up, it sounds like you're redlining it at 3000rpm.
My Chavalier was like that too. When you get on the gas and get up to 5000rpm, that little 4cyl sounds like an F1 car inside the cabin because it's a cheap econobox with no sound deadening.
An $800 Benz wouldn't sound like that unless it had no muffler.
Honda Fit
05-07 Ford Focus ST (look it up)
Mazda2

you want a fun old, cheap econobox. Get a 3rd generation accord.
There are plenty of swaps out there, also companies actually make parts for the A20A3/4 engine, has double wishbone suspension both in the coupe and the sedan. Plus it has flip lights, only 4 door sedan with flip lights at that.

I second the cavalier thing. My z24 screams at like 4k, it's hilarious. If I take it to 6 the check engine light goes on its so bad.

why not just a prelude of the same generation?
Protege5 is pretty fun. Doesn't make power for shit, one of the slowest fast looking economy cars.

This. Also the first-gen Mazda6. Bonus points for hatchback or wagon.
i've had a swift sport for a year now and i can only say i love it. under 140 hp might not work wonders on highways, but get this thing on a small road and it is joy on wheels

Guy down the street from me drives a clean and unmolested one. There must be something good about it because he keeps in absolutely tip top shape.
I drive the sx model of this with the 2.4L engine, feels alot like a go kart cause they're somewhat light at 2800 pounds
>>13876669
Harder to find, and most models are carb.
>>13878254
This. Swift is based.
