BRZ. They look nice but they aren't cheap, what you save on maintenance you will lose on depreciation just like any other car. When the turbo comes out (with full warranty unlike your aftermarket warranty-voiding option) it will be very pricey. I don' think this car will be very successful in the long run.

Personally I would get the cheaper FRS alternative if I needed a daily beater. I would be tempted to give a lightly used Lotus Elise a shot too. Until the Boxster Spyder comes down in price that might be the car to have if you like a minimal light weight sports car ....and with a Celica engine you won't need a Wolfgang Von Trips to wrench on it. And as you see from Henessy the engine mod possiblities can put you into super car performance territory. One guy on YouTube did a dual turbo and supercharger mod, crazzzy acceleration. Just don't mess up the body work on an Elise or it will cost you.
