Once again, the Tesla cultists are missing the point. There's so much more to driving a car than straight-line performance.

Although Teslas is pretty impressive in one regard: they've managed to make the experience of driving a car that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds boring.

It’s not a car where you look back after you park it. You don’t look over the curves of the car in admiration when washing it. You don’t wake up early on the weekends to drive it around windy roads. You don’t drive and just listen to the intake and the crackle of the exhaust. There is no road feel in the steering wheel telling you what the front tires are doing. You can’t engage the clutch and slide the shifter into the next gear as you rev the engine to redline. There is no driving experience in the Tesla other than isolation from the outside. It’s like going on vacation by watching the stock photos of Italy and saying you have been there.

Driving experience for you is : car noise, exhaust noise, engaging the clutch, etc..
It is obvious that you are old.
Your definition of good driving experience means nothing to the new generation born in the digital world.
Driving experience for them is: great acceleration, no noise, no vibration, a lot of tech etc...

My great grandparents didn't like your driving experience either. They complained about your combustion engine cars.
You couldn't feel the power of the horses, you couldn't hear their whinny noise, the feeling on the road was so different.
Horse carriages was their thing.
To each generation it's own.
I love the driving experience is electric cars.

Honestly, if you want a FUN car, get a used Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, or something like that. If your crisis car means you need something to show off, then yeah, you're gonna have to spend.

The Miata, Honda S200 are girls cars. So if poster is a women I say yes.

Right now classic American Pickup trucks, Broncos and old Jeeps are in style. The old Jeep Wagoneer with wooden paneling is hot. My favorite up and coming model is Ford Bronco. Super hot buy brand news.

Very popular is the Chevelle SS from 1969-1971. Get a big block with a 4 speed convertible model if a player. Honestly, they only go up in value so can sell in a few years for a profit.

You are so wrong about the Miata and S2000 - statistically more men own the Miata than the Mazda 3 or 6. Look it up. Also, people who know cars that are fun to drive know that the Miata and S2000 fit the bill. You are very insecure if you choose or don’t choose a car because you think it is girly or not.

My old girlfriend had a Miata I drove it a few times way underpowered and flimsy. No Japanese car should be on a midlife crisis list.

A few clubs I used to hit did not allow Japanese in lot or non classic America cars. English, German and Italian only. Rolls Royce Convertibles, Ferrari Convertibles usually were in front. Bmw M or Mercedes SL allowed in no base models. Escalades were big for limo drop offs

To be honest a Dodge Vipor is the winner for midlife
