I don't understand why we don't see the MR2 Spyder on these lists more?!? I know the earlier ones were plagued with oil / engine - eating problems, but the later models are reliable to 100k + miles and cost similar to the same aged Smart Roadster above... but compared to the Smart, for your # 2k - # 5k you get a 6 speed manual gearbox, over 70 % more power (~ 20 % more weight) but this is packaged in a mid-engined, rear wheel drive, normally aspirated car with no traction control and a LSD as standard:)

The all - wheel drive takeoff is from a clutch pack in a transfer case at the back of the gearbox and although the car is rear - drive in most circumstances, in default all - wheel drive mode, torque can be sent to the front pre-emptively when the car thinks the extra traction will help, or in response to rear slip.

Even more problematic, maximum twist now commences at a mere 2,300 rpm and doesn't abate for another 2,000 rpm, requiring tighter orchestration of throttle tip - in, transmission slip, traction control, and rear wheel grip while executing that quick, hard left turn from a standstill.

The rear - wheel - drive sedan's electronic limited - slip helps, raising the fun factor and aiding traction in slippery conditions.

There's just one problem: while I'm back in rear - wheel drive, the traction control won't fully disengage.

STANDARD FEATURES: Reflective hood and side stripes Black rear spoiler Black - painted aluminum wheels w / summer tires HID headlights Black shift knob Unique cloth seats w / embroidered Boss logo Manual front seats Air conditioning Auxiliary audio jack Sync 4.2 - inch screen Side - and rear - exit dual exhaust Manual adjustable suspension 3.73 rear axle ratio Stability and traction control

Don't worry, there's all manner of go - fast hardware to keep it safe, including standard carbon ceramic brakes, aggressive aero, rear - wheel steering, and specialized traction and stability control.

Yes, Audi RS models have Quattro for ultimate all - weather traction, and rear - wheel - drive Mercedes - Benz AMGs have even more power paired with a very high - strung temperament, but in terms of overall balance and ability, the BMW is both underdog and overachiever.

The Haldex system is an active one, so it consistently sends power to the rear wheels instead of reactively when traction is lost.

Standard kit across the Cayenne range includes Porsche Traction Management all - wheel drive, Bi-xenon headlights with four - element LED daytime running lights, multi-function sports steering wheel with paddle - shifters, ParkAssist front and rear, cruise control, automatic climate control, powered tailgate, Sport button, Start / Stop technology with coasting function and a three year warranty.

However, what the Porsche 911 GT3 RS gives away in horsepower and torque (493bhp @ 8250rpm and 339 lb ft @ 6250rpm), it makes up for with its rapid - fire PDK gearshifts and phenomenal rear - wheel traction off the line.
