It’s a great time to be a car enthusiast. For around $25,000 USD car buyers can take their pick from any number of engaging and affordable new cars. With so many varied offerings out there in this price range we thought it would be fun to ask you guys which car you would buy if you were to buy a new car in this price range.
Now I know that some of these cars are priced differently depending on which country you’re in and that some might not even be available where you live, but to keep things even I used United States pricing and availability for this poll.
So, what all can you get for about $25,000 these days?
For starters you have the Volkswagen GTI, the king of the hot hatch market for years and a perennial favorite in the low buck, high fun category.
Following in the pattern of the GTI is the Ford Focus ST, a favorite in Europe and a newcomer to the US market this year.
Next up we have a pair of FR driver’s cars known as the Toyota 86 (Scion FR-S) and the Subaru BRZ. Perhaps you’ve heard of them?
Fiat’s 500 Abarth might be the smallest of this group, but could be the choice who want their pocket rocket to have a bit of Italian chic.
Ford’s 305hp Mustang V6 is also worth a big look when it comes to fun on a budget with a distinct American flavor.
Last but not least we have Hyundai’s Genesis Coupe. For 2013 the 2.0T model is now making an impressive 274hp.
I’ve got a slight hunch and which car is going to win this poll, but really you can’t go wrong with any of these cars for the money.
Now, get to voting!
