What about the Subaru WRX? It’s sporty and has that all-wheel drive. Any thoughts on maintenance?

23

The WRX can be more expensive to maintain due to the turbo and AWD systems. Common issues include turbo leaks after a while, so keep that in mind.

I’ve owned a Ford Mustang EcoBoost for three years now. It’s been reliable, and the maintenance costs are reasonable compared to other muscle cars.

25

That’s great to hear! I’ve been considering a Mustang, but I worry about the long-term reliability.

26

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a Toyota Camry XSE. It’s more of a sport sedan on the outside, and super reliable too.

27

A Camry? Is that really considered a sport sedan? I see them more as family cars.

28

It’s sporty if you get the right trim! I’m curious about cost-effective maintenance tips for the Camry.

29

Routine oil changes and using OEM parts really help avoid unnecessary costs in the long run.

I also think you should factor in insurance costs. Some sporty sedans can skyrocket in premiums!

It can vary, but I’ve seen quotes around $150-$200/month; not the worst but consider your driving record.

I’ve been looking into sport sedans under $30k too! The Mazda 3 offers a great mix of performance and tech features.

34

Definitely! The infotainment system is user-friendly, plus it has a solid safety rating.

35

Don’t forget about the Honda Civic Si. It’s sporty and has great interior quality! Super reliable too.

36

Couldn’t agree more! Plus, the tech features make it a winner.

37

What about the Toyota Camry? It might not scream ‘sport,’ but it offers good handling and lots of features for the price.

38

The Camry is a great choice but leans more towards comfort than sportiness in my opinion.

39

You can’t overlook the Subaru WRX! It’s fun to drive with all-wheel drive capability.

True! Just be mindful of its fuel economy; it can be a bit pricey to maintain.
