Seeing what you guys think before I settle on a Fit or spend more on a 2018+ Corolla hatch

2003-2006 Mini Cooper Base/S
or
2012-2019 Fiat Abarth

Reliability, quality, ease of working on, etc.

Fit, Corolla, raggedy Camry, Accord, Civic, etc.

But the best bang for the buck for under $3k is a Buick with the 3800. Worst it will need is intake manifold gaskets.

[Edited on September 23, 2026 at 1:04 PM. Reason : sometimes mid '00s TLs and TSXs are in that range. They'll be rough. Builds character.]
