Let's say you had $15,000-$20,000 for a used car and an S2K is not an option...what would you get? Things to consider...this will be your daily driver (your only car), no kids, car must be fun to drive, and a motorcycle is not an option.

I'm just looking for ideas. Right now I'm considering WRX, 350Z, E46 M3...any suggestions?

STi for the 20k price range.

Pontiac G8 GT only comes in Auto, the gxp is 6sp but its usually heralded as a collector car now its cheaper to get a CTS-V really
speaking of... CTS-V

335i or get the coupe

Boxster S is the only S2000 alternative really...

wrx..evo possibly...maybe even a supra if you can find one in good shape for less than 20K...prolly extremely hard to find but im sure they are out there

WolfpackS2k

STI & Evo are going to be hard to find in good shape for those prices. Also good luck finding a reliable 335i for $15-20k. Those cars are horrible out of warranty.

Presto123

LS2 CTS-V or a LS2 GTO. Nothing like an S but lots of reliable power in stock form and big mod potential.

Maybe a higher mileage C5 z06. Probably a good C5.

If you want a fun, tossable convertible consider a Miata. Not fast or manly, but more like a S2000 than a Z06.

Jaguar S-Type R. 400+ HP, Brembo's, 6 Speed ZF Auto...

Porsche 968. Well built, fun, holds its value.

CosmosMpower

E46 M3 or C5Z06.

E46 M3 for only $20? must have high mileage meaning lot to spend on maintenance.

I'd say nothing can come near the value of S2000 especially when you mentioned "no kids".
