Given the current strange position the automotive world is in right now, purchasing a thirsty and expensive-to-maintain high-performance sedan is less attractive than ever. Unless you have enough money that you can throw a ton of it at the car and not even notice, opting for a more affordable and efficient example can help keep the stress monster at bay. Options like the Jetta GLI and Hyundai Elantra N are good places to start, though the used market promises even cheaper ways to quicken your pulse on a budget.
