I’m curious what’s your go-to recommendation for something that’s both fun to slide around and won’t cost a fortune to maintain or modify? I’ve heard mixed things about the Nissan 240SX and the Mazda MX-5, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually driven them or have other suggestions. What’s your experience been like? Any hidden gems out there that don’t get enough love?
The Nissan 240SX is a classic choice for drifting affordable, lightweight, and easy to modify, though parts can be tricky to find. The Mazda MX-5 is also a solid option, especially for beginners, with great handling and a lower cost of entry. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Toyota Corolla AE86 is a cult favorite, though it might require some hunting. For something less mainstream, consider the BMW E36 it’s surprisingly drift-friendly and often overlooked.
