What Car Should I Get For Under $70,000?

Too basic, and the high end ones are too large.

 

Looks like a car isn't for you then

How about a bus?

I know that this will sound a bit silly. But I'm a sucker for wagons.

 

RS3 Sportback would be super cool, But I don't think that's an option for you. I personally oogled a little bit at the BMW 330i Sports Wagon, as well as the E Class wagon.

You are not too far off from what I am looking at. I am not a huge wagon fan, but I am going to look at a regular RS3, as well as a C43 AMG and a M3/M4

What about Nissan X-Trail 2017? Or Lexus NX200t?

Definitely not a Nissan SUV. The Lexus is not bad I might consider it.

Consider the step-down 3/4 series as well with the 40i-engine. Still a very good amount a power, but at a much lower price.

Well if I were to get a M3/M4 it would be used

The 40i-engines could still be something to look into. Since they wouldn't come with the some rate of insurance as the M-cars.

 

And you'd likely be able to get away with getting yourself a brand new one as well.

A 40i yes, a M car, no unless I get a lower speced M2

Maybe a used one. However Jaguars loose money faster than the government at this point. A year old F-Type that was a 110K new, is now worth under 70K with less than 20K miles. I fear that in another year or two it will be worth in the 40-50K range.

I see your point.

I'd recommend a 2017 Miata(Shell) with LS3 Swap with better shocks, wider rims/tires. And all the necessary stuff. I personally like to drive in a fun car. Preferable a lightweight car with decent horsepower like a BRZ(I've driven a 2006 S2000 and it was fun and felt light. Used to have a RSX-S and it was really fun driving that car). Cars like the WRX STI is just getting too heavy and its horsepower isn't doing it anymore. Sure you can get all the horsepower you want but it's not the same experience as having a lighter car and for me, it's having fun. Also note that lighter car have a faster turning speed at the corner than a heavier car with nearly or more than twice the horsepower of a lighter car. I also like to drive around town so doing 0-60 in 2-3 seconds(Not that I have done it) isn't as fun as having the fun of stepping on that gas peddle and watching RPM/MPH meter go from 0-60. If I were to built a Miata LS3 swap with 500HP, I'd tune the final drive all the way so that I get more MPH per gear rather than performance per gear.

You can drink and drive and the car will self drive.

You can never go wrong with a C7 Z06 if you can find one under 70k.

ZL1 is pretty close to the Z06, without the overheating issues.

Tesla will beat anything on the drag strip, stock, while towing a trailer with a car on it.

I saw the video. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat.

Instant Power

No Power Curve

Limited Range

 

VW I.D. purely electric can go 600 miles plus you can sleep in it, down by the river.

Get slightly used Lexus LC or Audi R8

 

Don't bother with American cars

Love Teslas, but the one that you are talking about that will beat anything on the drag is the top end P100D, which is $145,000. I could get like a used 85D for around 60K, but I am not sure if I am ready for electric.

Already had this suggestion from another user. What I told him is that I love the car and have heard so many great things about it, but it is over budget and I don't trust Alpha enough as a brand yet.
