This is a sport compact hatchback launched in 2007. It has a powerful 2.3-liter engine, amazing handling, and there’s not many of them on the road—so having one will surely make heads turn. The 2008-2009 model can cost from twelve to eighteen thousand dollars—not bad for something that can go from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds. Something quite similar and just as rare is the Volkswagen R32.
Subaru Legacy Outback
Something that can run for 300,000 miles must be good, and that’s the Outback for you. The 2008 model release comes with enhanced safety features and supreme driver comfort, and you won’t have to pay for more than twenty thousand dollars for a reliable and versatile vehicle.

BMW M3
First off, it’s a BMW. This means that it already has awesome power and handling, with a pretty sweet image to boot. Expect to pay a little more than twenty grand for models released from 2003-2006, but you’ll be sure that the car retains its value better than other used cars.
Mercedes-Benz S Class
Here comes another contender in the sleek n’ classy segment—go for the ones released after 2005 for more curves. Engine sizes range from 3.5L to 6.3L, depending on how much power you want. The S-Class S500 costs about $40,000—pretty cheap for such a classy car.
Toyota Prius
Who says that the Prius is only for the eco-conscious people of Hollywood? Men can show their soft spot for nature with the Prius. The second generation release has the best value, and costs only $15,000.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
The ultimate show of manly prowess comes in the form of driving the Range Rover Sport. This premium SUV is tough on the outside, luxurious on the inside. 2005 models sell for almost $35,000 in the used cars market, and that’s a good bargain, considering the car has a powerful supercharged 4.2L engine and a tuned suspension.
