It ' s stupid , but It ' s not a problem . You can get money really easily . <| sep |> But voat is kind of garbage <| sep |> If you ' re going for short term ownership of around 5 or so years , I ' d also recommend looking into the slightly used Volkswagon GTIGLI . Both are fantastic in terms of performance , but I ' m not a huge fan of their longer term costs . They use a pretty amazing Dual clutch automatic transmission , which shifts amazingly fast . It just needs a big maintenance around 70 , 000 miles iirc . However , that was for older generation , so I ' m not as up to date for the newer models . Honestly in the under $ 20 k budget it ' s getting harder n harder to find a non cvt car . I drive a 2013 v 6 accord coupe . Those can be found for around $ 20 k atm with about 50 k or so miles i think . It ' s such a fun car but in pure performance it ' s not going to be better than the v 8 pony cars that are around right now . It does get pretty good milage however . I suppose for another suggestion I ' d recommend finding a 201516 Hyundai elantra sport . It comes with a good amount of features and it does have the largest engine for elantras with a traditional 6 speed automatic . Last but not least , if you honestly don ' t mind the CVT transmission , see if you can find a used 2016 civic EXT . There might be one that slides under $ 20 k , but they have the new honda turbo engine which is actually pretty well received . Just note it ' s a brand new engine so all the issues isn ' t out for it yet but the car does come with Apple carplay and android auto . Honestly , I ' m a pretty big fan of that mazda 3 S touring . I ' d really recommend that you at least test drive it as a benchmark if nothing else .
