What is a cheap but reliable fast car?

You can get used Crossfire SRT6 for pretty cheap. The looks aren't for everyone and it's a 2seater coupe, but the engine is Mercedes AMG and it is 330hp supercharged, really frickin' fast.

Not only is the engine Mercedes, 99.9% of every other part on the car is Mercedes as well. Car was made in Germany and to this day I don't think I have seem a Chrysler stamped part on mine yet.

C5 Corvette........ you can get into a C5 vette for 12-18K and get 26-30mpg at highway speeds. Easy to work on, and nice grand touring car.

I had an 01 Z06 very fun reliable cheap car.

I have a 2008 Altima V6. It's my second Altima. Very reliable. It has great acceleration, but make sure you keep it straight. Not a fantastic car for the corners.

Honda S2000 - 4 banger, rear wheel drive, 9k redline on AP1 models and its a convertible.

V6 Altima? Not sure I would go with one..unless you have a GOOD mechanic check it out first. They are timing chain eaters.

It depends what 'cheap' means. The new Mustang GT with a 5.0 V8 boasts 27 MPG on the highway which is incredible for 412hp. With interest rates low, you can have one for $350-$400 mo. My 07 GT Shelby with a Vortech Supercharger gets an average of 21 MPG overall which is not bad considering a fair amount of city driving. You can find a Mustang GT with a few years on it for 15-20K.

I recommend you go for Toyota car.

I got the car I needed in Atlanta without any difficulties. It was easy when I got help from Sandy Springs Toyota. I knew I wanted a Toyota because they do not cost too much money and are reliable for everyday automobiles. I told the dealership every little thing that I needed, and the dealer made sure I was taken care of. I love my brand new car.
