Sporty cars for under or maybe a tiny but over 5000 dollars?

I'm gonna have 5000 dollars and maybe a little more and want a unique sporty car like I don't want a common car like a honda civic and cars common like that I want one that will catch peoples eyes because it's unique and I know I won't find one like this at a car dealership so assume it's like craigslist or something

I would agree that an older Mazda Miata might be a perfect fit if you only need two seats. My other two recommendations would be an older Civic SI, or a VW Golf GTI. Both are very hot smaller cars that will seat four. I know you said you did not want a Civic but, believe me, the SI is a far cry from a Civic.

My friend has an 86 Mazda Rx7 that he got for like $4500 and it has like 120000 miles, it definitely turns heads, and he loves it. I know the wrx is based on a common car if you want to call it that, but its definitely the most uncommon of the common cars with its funky bug eye styling. I love my Subaru, and would recommend them to anyone. If you want a car that is actually like fast and handles well get a wrx, no other automaker can match the low center of gravity provided by the boxer engine, the even left to right weight distribution of the boxer engine and the amazing handling of Subaru's AWD.
