Sadly the answer here is Miata. I've owned 4. Not at all shabby cars, but the cost of owning/operating/modding is peanuts. Plus they go together like Legos.
NB is best to drive in that budget, but an NC2/3 is far more comfortable and useful. Can prob get an ND1 for $20k now too, and that's a gorgeous machine that lives for suspension upgrades.
Alternative would be a GT86/FR-S/BRZ 1st gen.
