Many of us dream of owning a Lamborghini or another multi-hundred-thousand dollar car. But even if you had the money, you could save yourself boat loads without sacrificing any of the fun by opting for the cars in this list. Here are my 5 favorite and most practical cars. All of these cars are below 80,000 USD!
#5 Jaguar F-Type S
3.0L V6 / 380 HP / 0-60 in ~4.4 sec / MSRP: $79,100
The Jaguar F-Type S is a true sports car for a great value. This specific model can come with either a V6 or V8 engine paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, all of which will affect its performance figures. It can also be had as a convertible or hardtop. But, to keep the price under 80,000 USD, you will need a hardtop, manual V6 model. I placed it at #5 on the list because although it is a great sports car with amazing exhaust notes, it's not the most practical. But who really cares if it's practical or not. Not me!
#4 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 S
4.0L V8 biturbo / 503 HP / 0-60 in 3.8 sec / MSRP $75,000
The AMG C63S is a beast. It boasts high-performance specs, but makes sure to deliver a very comfortable interior. Its V8 engine gives it that famous AMG growl. The C63 is also very practical and can be driven everyday and will fit plenty of grocery bags!
#3 BMW M4
3.0L win-turbo I6 / 425 HP / 0-60 in 3.4 sec / MSRP: $67,195
The BMW M4 is one of the best cars for its price. Even though its engine has 2 less cylinders than the C63, don't be fooled—it is really, really fast. The exterior design of the M4 is some of the best in the auto industry, in my opinion. But my favorite part about this car is that it's still offered in a manual transmission!
#2 Audi TTRS
2.5L turbo 5-cylinder / 400 HP / 0-60 3.6 sec / MSRP: $65,875
The Audi TTRS is small but packs a punch. This stubby little guy, is one of the best sports cars you can buy. It literally looks like a mini R8 supercar, but at only a fraction of the cost. The interior is also highly modern, including features such as a digital dashboard. The only downside is that its not offered with a manual transmission.
#1 BMW M2
3.0L turbo I6 / 365 HP / 0-60 in 4.0 sec / MSRP: $52,500
The BMW M2 is number 1 on this list because it is the best valued car on the market. In fact, its starting price is five figures below every other car on this list. It is a small and fun daily driver that can be bought with a 6-speed manual transmission!
Let me know which cars below 80,000 USD are your favorite and why! Someday you may just be able to buy one with some STEEM!!!
