Honda Civic. You can a 90s model automatic one for next to nothing.

Seeing as you're learning, pretty much anything that's RWD and manual. Bonus points for a welded diff, it'd make life easier.

Don't buy it then, genius

Literally any manual truck with a v8.
Grayson Cruz
Buy two MX5s then, one to keep nice and the other to practice drifting. The MX5 is probably the cheapest driftable car depending on where you live.

I'm not sure you understand what drifting is
Find a cheap RWD car that you don't care about thrashing on or utterly destroying. Like a trashed miata or ls400 or some other stereotypical hoon car. Then find an empty, flat parking lot without obstacles that isn't near anything or anyone. Practice. Bonus points if you know people that are willing to teach you how to drift.

The answer is always going to be the MX-5 Miata. It literally can not be beat. The MX-5 is so fucking good that the best generation (value-wise) ever made (the NB) is worth LESS than the shittier first generation (NA) all because of muh pop-up headlights. These cars are dirt fucking cheap, reliable as hell, and have parts everywhere.

What's worse about the NA?
All I know is it has space in the frame for intercooler piping and pre-radiator intakes that the NB does not.
Jordan Brooks
Some trucks have axle wrap that will suspension need work to drift so not entirely true.
Logan Wilson
>These cars are dirt fucking cheap, reliable as hell
absolutely not
Adam Thompson
Depending on skill level a Miata may not have enough power to sustain a drift.
Connor Bell
Well at the beginning you're gonna be drifting a low power vehicle anyway, right? Plus if you learn to drift a low power vehicle you'll most definitely become a more skilled driver overall.
That's what I think anyway, and I was inspired by the drift king himself.
Jaxson Morris
Keep the base model 155 section tyres then.

SUV's are the best drift vehicles
Charles Evans
wtf?
Oliver Flores
Rear wheel steering drift? Is this possible?
Nicholas Gonzalez
Volvo 740/940 Turbo > MX5.
Had both MX5 and Volvo 740. The swede tanks are incredibly easy to control in a drift, and has more steering angle.
Camden Garcia
Miatas are not drift cars. Kill yourself.
Alexander Hall
miata is not really a drift car
50:50 weight distribution and short wheelbase is more optimal for grip with some hektik skids from there and there

a V8 SN95 can be had for less than $5k

How are you guys enjoying your first day on Veeky Forums?

4th Gen f-bodies are much easier to slide around. I've driven LT1 and LS1 6spd f-bodies and every iteration of V8 SN-95 except the Mach 1 and Terminator(rode in one though).
Thomas Cox
Absolutely.

Yes, I used to do this professionally, that is, until I took an arrow to the knee....
