What's the matter user did you get cucked by an e46 owner?

RX-8 is a great car, but if you buy under 3k order a new engine the day you sign the bill of sale. People have zero clue how to take care of the engine and make them commit sudoku all the time, so be prepared for that.
I like mine because it was cheap up front for the performance, and then I can spread the cost out long term in repairs and upgrades. I figure if I replace anything that breaks with a more performance version I'll eventually have the car all fixed and modded how I want. It's all pretty simple stuff that anyone with basic tools can do in their garage, and totally worth it for the fun of driving one.
I do my oil changes every 2k, the more often the better. Clean oil burns much nicer than dirty oil, and 9k rpm takes good lubrication to maintain.

GM F-Body. No, seriously.

Everything else here is horrendously unreliable and is generally bad advice.
Besides cheap imports, which are usually either beat to shit or look like they are from some 15yo's GTA garage most of these would kneecap you for repairs.

F Body, SN95 GTs Miatas and 180SX/240SX's are your only options for RWD manual cars under 3k that aren't completely run down. You're going to wanna look at cars close to 3k unless you plan on having a project car that you can park for a while (weeks, months even at times)

Honda prelude if you consider a FWD for under 3k. stick, 5th gen preferably
