Best drift car around $5k or less?

>fun
>reliable
>safe
>fuel efficiency is a plus
was looking at the 97 Miata but from what I've read it's quite unsafe
so I'm now thinking
>AE86
>MR2
>240sx
but getting official saftey ratings on cars like these is hard af
open to suggestions

You're gonna be removing the steering wheel so i don't understand why safety is your biggest concern. Also it's not like you're going to be drifting at super high speeds, so an impact isn't going to do much more than crack a bumper

BTW be careful with mr2s, some early models don't have power steering, and they're prone to snap oversteer

>reliable
Lel good luck mate

ik this is a lot to ask but If it can be a daily driver, that'd be preferable, if possible

>fuel efficency
>safety ratings
>on a drift car
Wow you're gay dude

You don't want to daily a drift car

...

Oui if you want to daily a drift car get a 240, a million and one things will go wrong with any of the cheap "drift" cars out there. Keeping a 240 running is waay easier than any of the others. If your in a big enough town you'll find the occasional 240 being sold for parts on CL. Always buy as much as you can off of those. Most aftermarket shit for 240's are also priced reasonably and easy to install too.

>thinking the any of those other cars are safer than a Miata
LOL

>reliable drift car
LOL

>Fuel Efficient
LOL

>MR2
lel good luck trying to drift a Mid engined car

>AE86
Good luck trying to find one below $5k

>240sx
garbage unless you put serious money in it but probably your best bet

But seriously you sound underage as fuck, you probably play forza and watch haggard garage/TJ Hunt. Buy a Honda Civic. Learn how to work on it. When you save up enough money and feel confident working on a car, then pick up a second car you can beat the absolute piss out of. You'll thank me later.

Or just totally ignore me and learn from your mistakes.

>safe
