Mid 20s dude looking for an exciting car for under 35k. I’m drawn to BMW but I realize the value may not be there for my price range. Hesitant to get a used car above 20-30k miles on it. But also really not drawn to Japanese/Korean cars. What would you all recommend?

The answer is always Miata, but in this case… get the Italian version. A Fiat 124 Spider is what you need. Grab the Abarth trim.

Even you mentioned about not being into korean cars, but I def recommend checking out the kia stinger, it’s got a lot of m elements since the head of design was from bmw’s m division

Also let’s face it here, unless you are looking at used, there aren’t many options given your price range

Pony cars (Mustang/Camaro/Challenger/Charger) are going to be the best bang for buck for something exciting.

For BMW, you’re going to have to go back several years to get into an M car at 35k

If you’re looking for something exciting, you’re probably not going to find much from BMW in that price range unless it’s a high mileage M car. At the end of the day, a dedicated sports car will always be more exciting than a sports oriented luxury car which is where BMW excels at.

Exciting? Unique, fun to drive, good design, great tech. What does exciting mean to you?

Mileage is not the only measurement to judge a car. It’s the maintenance history in most cases.

Audi or Alpha
