Everyone dreams of owning a sports car at least once in their life. Unfortunately, new sports cars are generally pretty expensive. But that doesn't mean you should get discouraged. You can find many great deals on sports cars if you buy them used.
In this blogpost I will show you what are, in my opinion, the top 10 best affordable sports cars you can buy on the used market in Canada for under $20 000.
5. 1990-2014 Mazda Miata MX-5
The Mazda Miata MX-5 is a great option for people looking for an entry level sports car. It comes in a soft top convertible body style, or a hard top convertible. This car is known for having ''girly'' body styling, but I personally like the look of the miata. This car has come with various different engines since it's debut in1989, these engines all have relaively low power outputs, ranging from 116 horsepower to 167 horsepower. The Mazda Miata MX-5 can be bought for cheap if you buy an earlier model. Models from the early 1990's can be bought for as low as 2000$. This makes the miata one of the best rear wheel drive platforms for people who want to modify them.
4. 1986-1991 Porsche 944 turbo
The Porsche 944 turbo is the oldest car on this list. It is probably the least reliable car on this list as well. But that is not why you buy this car, you buy this car for it's great driving experience and it's classic looks. The porsche 944 turbo came with a turbocharged 2.5 L inline four cylinder engine producing 217 horsepower. You can also buy these cars for very cheap. If you want the naturally aspirated version, you can find one for under 5000$, which is a steal for a Porsche. The turbo variant costs about 15 000$ for a clean model.
3. 1999-2009 Honda S2000
The Honda S2000 is a direct competitor with the Mazda Miata MX-5. Most people agree that it is somewhat of a better version of the classic Miata. The S2000 is powered by a powerful inline 4 cylinder that produces 237 horsepower. The S2000 engine is also know for being extremely high revving, it's redline is at 9 000 rpm. The S2000 comes in a softop convertible body style. You can buy an S2000 for around $15 000 on the used market in Canada.
2. 2013-2019 Subaru BRZ
1. 2003-2008 Nissan 350z
The Nissan 350z is arguably one of the best looking japanese sports cars from the 2000's. It is one of the most affordable ways of getting supercar-like looks and decent performance. This car comes in two body styles; a fastback coupe model and a roadster. The engine is a 3.5 liter V6 that produces anywhere from 276 to 306 horsepower. The car goes from 0-60 mph in approximately 5.6 seconds. The 350z is also a grerat platform if you are looking to build a drift car. It's rear-wheel drive platform is very popular in the drift scene and performs admirably with slight modifications. You can find 350z's in decent condition, in Canada for $6 000 to $15 000.

2. 2013-2019 Subaru BRZ
The Subaru BRZ is a great entry-level japanese sports car. It has great body-styling. This car often gets hate for being underpowerd. It's engine is a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder boxer engine that produces 200 horsepower and only 151 ft /lbs of torque. I don't belive that the fact that this car only has a 200 horsepower engine is a deal breaker.I think this car is more of a car you drive on twisty backroads than a car you use on the drag strip. It is one of the best handling little sports cars you can buy, which compensates for its lack in power.
