Default best car under $80k?

Excluding domestic cars (my lady says no), which car do you think is the most well-around car? It doesn't have to be the fastest in the straight line.
I'm looking for the most enjoyable car with decent exterior+interior.

In my opinion,
Cayman R>Exige S>audi TTRS>e92 M3

Personally, I like
light weight
manual gearbox
mid-engine
AWD=RWD
NA=turbocharged>supercharged



p.s I wish I could buy Z06...

BMW M3 e92 is my dream car! I came out of a BMW 328i to the z because a M3 e92 was out of the price range.

I'm glad you caught yourself. That was a mod card violation waiting to happen.

Doesn't look like OP wants a GTR.

Personally, I'm tempted by them, but at that price point, I'd rather have a new car, not someone else's problem.

If frost reads this another time, then he is the King of Iceland.

No contest for sure but it does not give me as much fun as Z06
