Hi I am looking for advice which car would be reliable and fast with ok gas mileage. Over all a fun car with low maintenance.
Thanks for asnwers in advance.
reliable and fast with ok gas mileage
What is "fast"? At what budget? How old should the car be? As far as recent generation cars:
If you have plenty to spend, the Lexus IS500 (472hp, 0-60 in 4.4 sec)
A popular choice is the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 (228 hp, 0-60 in 6.6 sec)
In case you're looking at used cars,
The 6th generation Lexus ES V6 is reasonable (268hp, 0-60 in 6.9 sec)
And although it's NOT too great, The Infiniti G37 is often much cheaper (325hp, 0-60 in 5.3 sec)
If you're looking for cars that are genuinely fast, forget about reliability and efficiency.
Corolla GR
I have serious doubts about the longevity of a turbo (20 psi boost) 3 cylinder engine that’s pushing 300 horsepower…
I'd take my chances with an ISF, but they don't come with a manual transmission. The GR brand of Toyota made a Mark 10 with the Lexus IS350 engine in it that was a manual though. I suppose anything from Toyota GR kinda goes into "fast car" territory.
