Do you have another "non-family" car in the driveway? Looking at getting a second car
We picked up our MZ5 about 6 months ago and my wife has been driving it ever since. Before that she had a Corolla, which I inherited for my daily commute.
We are now moving to Florida and have sold off the Corolla. I have been using the MZ5 to commute for the past couple of weeks (way more fun that I thought!) and will have to buy a second car when we get to Florida.
Since we already have a family/utility vehicle, I was interested in getting something to make my commute more enjoyable.
My budget is up to $25K, although I'd be just as happy picking up a decent ND Miata for $10K. Wife says I can pretty much get anything up to $25K. I will be working in a field where perceived "image" can be important, so no total junkers and stuff like an NA miata or base Corolla is out of the question.
Cars I have been considering:
-FR-S/BRZ
-S2K
-ND Miata
-Used 328i
-R53 Mini Cooper S
-F56 Base Cooper
-Toyota Prius Liftback
-Toyota Prius C
I want something reliable, fuel efficient and also possibly fun to drive, although since I am considering a Prius it's not a must-have. Used, preferably CPO when available. Either Japanese or Euro - not really a fan of American cars. Will be commuting about 30 miles round trip, with heavy traffic at least a quarter of the way.
It will also be the car my wife and I take out on dates.
I was wondering what everyone else has as their "other" / "fun car", whether it was any of the aforementioned options, and how it compliments the MZ5.
Thanks!!!
