It’s been very hard for me to find a modern manual car that is as stimulating while still being somewhat serviceable and reliable.

For example I liked driving the 991 but you have to take the bumper off just to replace the air intake filters. I knew two guys with GT350s and both had their engines fail spectacularly (one of them alongside me at a 70 mph cruise). BMW S55 doesn’t sound as good and needs spark plugs every 30k. CT4BW is objectively better but doesn’t grab me emotionally. Supra has too many fake vents. Good luck with supply chain system on a Lotus. That leaves the Miata, Cayman, OG M2, and Mustang Mach 1.

I gave up on new cars and now look primarily to 2010 and earlier.
