if u were a student.. and your parents offered you to get a car below 50k... what should you get so that at the very least you wont b smoked by a rich brat in his SLK or 350z... let us see what can i find you.. =).. well i'll start with the most sporty choice of all for someone who does not mind having a two door coupe which only fits him or her with 1 passenger to a normal daily trustworthy ride which can carry 4 passengers. well i'll start with the Toyota MR2 coupe..
scissor door MR2
this car as you can see has it's engine placed at the middle of the car which makes it an MR(mid range engine with rear wheel drive) car. yes rear wheel drive allows you to do a lil drift action but not for this car alright. the car comes with 2.0 a turbo and pushes out 225bhp as stated by the owner.. so if you want a ferrari like car which cost much much less.. this is a car to buy! haha.. ask my friend hong jiun he has driven one.. and he did a wheel spin with it.. for more info check it out on wiki or http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/292355-mr2-turbo-for-sale.html
black bonet DC2
2nd up is the honda integra DC2 which is a FF(front mounted engine with front wheel drive). yes it seems like a normal coupe with and FF but wait... integra are quite famous for their ability to do hill climbs and are very agile for their size which makes it and ideal budget racer for youngsters.. it has 2.0L N/A vtec engine which can pushes out depending on the model of the engine if the type R which many hunts for can push out 197bhp at stock condition according to wiki.. haha.. for more information on the car plz check out this links http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/280293-for-sale-honda-integra-dc2-93-97-a.html

3rd up is the mitsubishi evolution 6 which is an AWD car meaning all wheel drive car.. it has four doors which makes it capable of fetching as many as 4 passenger.. it's actually a hot sedan car with a powerful engine.. it may be kind of old compared to it's younger brothers but it sure can run on as fast as them with the right modifications.. it pushes out 200+ turbo according to modifications.. for more information check it out here http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/299058-lancer-conv-evo-6-5-a.html
SEG engine bay
4th choice the SEG turbo... well there is too much specs that are upgraded on this car and i dont really know how to explain one by one.. but what i do know is it is a 1.6L toyota engine with a turbo and the car is a normal sedan yup... not a bad choice in my opinion.. to check it out surf here http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/292237-seg-turbo-for-sale.html
5th a hot old school proton putra.. as we can see there are many around.. this car is nearly 15years old already.. yes it is a proton but with a 4G93 mitsubishi engine it can be a blast of fun..
not only that it weight to ratio for it's 1.8L engine allows you to smoke majority of the cars on the road running.. but sadly it's hard to find a stock one nowadays.. most of them are already molested.. for more info here is the link http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/300419-proton-putra-1998-a.html

red drift machine
blue drift machine
5th choice one of my best favourites.. the A31 nissan cefiro... yes a 20year old car which is normally used as a drift machine in most drift events.. because of it engine bay which can fit in skyline gtr engines which are known as the RB series(except RB30).. for more info on this engines you should look it up yourself because there is plenty of ways for you to fiddle with the engine.. this car is a five seater.. and well you'll be suprise by it's price.. the car normally comes alerady with a mod skyline engine.. just depending on what model it is or with turbo or without.. is your choice... for more info here's the web you can find plenty of this cars around at zerotohundred.com
the engine bay 1.5 with open pod filter
lastly the proton iswara 1.5 4G91 which pushes out nearly 100bhp or even more... yes you may think it's just an iswara but well your wrong for it's weight to is so good that it can blow your head of with the right setting... i myself am driving a 1.3 4G13.. and i love it very much.. =).. to check it out here is the link http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/292968-iswara-1-5mt-twin-cam-2000-a.html
