So, I’ve been diving into the world of drifting lately, and I’m itching to get my hands on a car that won’t completely break the bank. I’m not looking for anything crazy expensive just something reliable, fun, and easy to modify for drifting. I’ve heard a lot about the Nissan 240SX and the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but I’m curious if there are other hidden gems out there. What’s your go-to drift car for someone on a budget? Any tips on what to look for or avoid when picking one up? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

The Nissan 240SX and Mazda MX-5 Miata are excellent choices for drifting, offering a balance of affordability and performance. You might also consider the Toyota AE86 or BMW E30, both known for their drift-friendly handling and modifiable platforms. When shopping, prioritize a solid chassis and engine condition over flashy upgrades, as repairs can quickly add up. Happy drifting!
