Planning to buy a sporty daily driver

[dodongo]

Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy a car. Ideally a 1-3 year used car, white is my preferred color.

I want to buy a sporty car, but most likely will also be used as my daily driver.

My budget is around 1M-1.5M

I'm choosing between the following:

• 86/BRZ
• MX-5
• Civic RS
• Focus

Not interested sa WRX

For the MX-5 or BRZ, I'll be getting it in M/T if ever. I drive through rush hour traffic daily, QC to Ortigas/Makati.

I'm single BTW, no family and no GF lol. We also have a carens and jazz if I need space for people and/or stuff.

What do you guys think?

TIA!

Daily driver in traffic, Civic RS just because the drive is more comfortable.

Remove the Focus from your list if it has a DCT, baka mapa commute ka pa pauwi.

Also consider the Mazda3 2.0

Let's just say all of your choices are equal...

So I will look at the 4 cars with the eyes on another person... (think total newbie in cars)

My Vote goes to the 86.

Focus / RX - people might say its the normal Focus/RX with after market body kits. (remember the Evo?)

So the MX-5 and 86 will stand out better...

But the 86 will has the Toyota badge and hopefully, Toyota support.

Just curious. Why not wrx? Any reason why?

This is true for me, the other cars will look "normal". The BRZ/86 and Miata will be great to look and worth giving a second look for bystanders.

My vote goes to Miata, it's top down! Why top down? I don't know, I just like it. I know the weather is hot but I still want a top down. Imagine driving with all the wind rushing to your hair but not in Manila, of course. After 20 years, I think the Miata will be a classic car.

To add, it seems Toyota wishes to do what Mazda is doing.

The Miata would be a tiis-pogi car, would not be the most practical daily driver but is the enthusiast choice (anyway OP says s/he already owns other cars for hauling people/luggage so there's that).

Cousin owns one 😂 dont want to have the same car lol

Nothing against the Miata...

But the 86's back seat will be handy... kung biglang kailanganin...

e.g.
1. kailangan mag bihis
2. gusto mo umidlip
3. bumili ka ng malaking pizza/cake
4. may bagong kilala kang girl tapos kambal pala

Fair enough.

Single no kids. Mx5 seems to be perfect for you. Plus, it will still be a looker in prolly 5 to 10 years from now.
