Edmunds: Five great budget performance cars for under $35,000
Edmunds auto experts listed five budget performance cars under $35,000 for 2025, featuring models like the Mustang and MX-5 Miata.
This list arises as high-performance sports car prices continue rising, with the Chevrolet Corvette now starting near $70,000.
Selected vehicles include the Mustang EcoBoost with 315 horsepower and a 5.6-second 0-60 mph time, the MX-5 Miata roadster with 181 horsepower, and the Golf GTI hatchback with 241 horsepower.
Prices range from $30,715 for the Miata to $33,640 for the Golf GTI, and Edmunds notes these cars provide fun driving experiences below $35,000.
This suggests buyers can access affordable yet spirited vehicles despite rising costs in top-tier sports cars like the Corvette.
