Best New Sports Cars Under $30K For You 2022-2024

[@MrMatDB]

it’s just a shame we can’t find any of these cars for MSRP at dealerships anywhere… at least here in north carolina it’s like that

[@revmatchtv]

There are always a few dealers who will sell at MSRP but generally you need to go outside your local area to find them and be willing to wait

[@potatochobit]

almost all of america, you can order one with a 6 month wait for around msrp.

[@pv4083]

Yea

[@2WheelsdownN]

For scarcity and mark up expect 5k to 7l depending in how avaliable they are

[@ianlerma8110]

I’ve had my GR86 for 3 days now and man oh man, I’m loving it so so much. I’ve grown more attached to it than my Pontiac that I’ve had for almost a year now

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Performance for the money, Camaro is the way to go. Chevy has the cheapest maintenance as well. Usually built better for taller drivers. After that I would consider seating for 4 the next important thing. Camaro, Brz, Civic Si would be my top 3 of those.

[@revmatchtv]

I do like the Camaro

[@joshdominguez341]

Best bang for your buck would be a used car tbh

[@chrisx5127]

Is Camaro reliable? Right now it either the new Tacoma or a Camaro. I like the old BRZ and FRS look.

[@CarsSimplified]

Good list! I would definitely get a Camaro over a Mustang here. I like the styling more and if I'm getting a sports car, I'm not too worried about trunk space. Out of everything on this list, though, I would either get a BRZ or a Miata.

[@revmatchtv]

I like the Camaro dynamically, but practially it's not very good.

[@kevinb.3656]

This list is meticulous and well done, but the options are just depressing. 30k just doesn’t get you what it used to.

[@revmatchtv]

What would you like to see us do next? I'm thinking about sub $25K used sports cars

[@potatochobit]

30k$ gets you way more than it used to. I dont know how old you are but having things like auto rev matching and parking distance control were unheard of. the pandemic aside, you could have pretty much a jaguar or a camaro SS for under 30k$ easily except for current dealerships marking things up.

@@revmatchtv I know this is quite an old comment, but I just wanted to say that I rarely see creators asking a question in the comments. Usually it seems like forced comment interaction to boost viewership/engagement. I appreciate your attitude, and concise method of delivery. Great Video!

[@JuancoPRoFlow]

Thank you for the video. Helped a lot

[@emissarygw2264]

Weird, I thought the brz and 86 were the same car with slightly different body/interior. Did that change this generation?

[@potatochobit]

the suspension has different parts on the toyota and it also has different body panels like the front bumper. the last generation are basically identical twins.

[@revmatchtv]

Nose is different. Interiors are identical if you don't count the logo. There are some fairly minor suspension tuning and hardware differences that make these two drive differently. The Toyota is more tail happy and stiffer. The BRZ more compliant and rotates less readily.

[@asdowo111]

How about the reliability of the GR86/BRZ and the WRX though?

[@savixx5536]

they are generally pretty reliable toyota and subaru are known for best reliability

[@asdowo111]

@@savixx5536 subaru reliability is a bit of a stretch.

[@Pmike404]

I was looking for a new car recently needed to be manual. So of course I was looking at the civic si. I found one new at my local Honda dealer but they marked it up to $36k. So I started looking at 1yr old used ones and they were going for around $30k. I found a 1yr old Corolla Apex with the M/T for $26k. While I wouldn’t call it a sports car but it makes the right sounds and is a blast to drive on the twisty backroads on my way back and forth from work.

[@revmatchtv]

The Si is the better car overall, but the Apex is a fun little car if that's more in your budget.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Excellent video! My choice would be the Toyota GR86 because if you're not a car person, you could mistake it for a $80,000 car! Looks so sexy, especially in Neptune Blue!

[@revmatchtv]

I'm hoping to snag a GR86 myself soon.

[@potatochobit]

no, no one is mistaking it for an 80,000$ car. Do you even have a clue what kind of car costs 80,000$? probably says porsche.

I can't call a 4 door car a sports car. I see so many kids driving those with the muffler taken off. Driving around in a little loud family car with their pants down to their knees and they think they're cool. 😂

[@jimquantic]

In your "figuring", don't forget the insurance rates. Thought you found something nice you can afford? Think twice, check out those rates. Older now? Never had an accident--that won't keep the rates down, you will go into the same hopper as the idiots, who are young and kill people. Check out the rates before you jump--then if it seems you can afford those rates, go for it. I had a 25 year old Acura, 2.6 four----insurance was HIGHER than my Truck and Subaru COMBINED. All because the power to weight ratio meant "no, no, you have to sell that one now".

[@revmatchtv]

Great point. Insurance rates vary quite a bit from State to State, car to car and person to person.

[@jimquantic]

@@revmatchtv I imagine that is true, but I for one did not find it true. At 67--and no accidents/tickets in 50 years, my rates were sky high for a 20 plus year old Acura CL, all because I was in the "same hopper" with others who dared drive a V6 with some get up and go. I sure did not see any break for the "old guy with no tickets", so much so I had to sell the car. I'm just saying get your rate BEFORE you go get a nice car--if the rate is OK, great. But if not, know in advance. I didn't do that and got the big surprise AFTER buying the thing.

[@revmatchtv]

@@jimquantic Appreciate your input!

[@videorowtv5198]

We only get the V8 mustang here and it's about $70k

[@MsSgerg]

Great video! If I were picking from this list, id have to go GTI first. It is just gorgeous. Too bad about the interior though. I would be embarrassed in the Corolla. Also I didn’t know they made 2L turbo Camaros. That’s pretty neat!

[@jf8188]

Embarrassed? Wht

[@revmatchtv]

The Corolla is a great little car. It drives well and I think it looks pretty sharp imho.

[@inkedBc]

Why you didn’t talk about the mustang Gt lol you skipped it man that car with a supercharger driving 620hp or more to the wheel and it to actually start up everyday no problem for years long tube headers . The 2016 you can find in the 27k 30k used but can find one with 40k miles on it . I would have the engine looked at and then new parts on the car you can go with an engine at that miles and build off it

Isn't the Elantra N part of this list? Ir does it start over 30?

[@indostruction]

The N is over thirty but the N line which is the 1.6 liter turbo with a manual is around 25k. I just bought one as a commuter and I'm glad I forked out a few thousand more over the SEL with a CVT. It's fun to drive and has a surprising amount of bells and whistles.

It's a compliment you think I'm a kid! I can't compare cars with markup because it will vary so wildly. My advice is not to pay it and look elsewhere. There's ALWAYS a dealer who will sell at MSRP. They just won't be close to you.
