The Honda S2000 is another great one in the under 40K category.

For up to 100K the Porsche Boxster Spyder/ Cayman R easily.

I <3 Miatas. They really are the "affordable" option. You sacrifice power for affordable sports car feel. Few cars can offer that connected feeling like driving a Miata, certainly few at that price point.

NA gen Miata+ $5000 = 200 hp sports car that weighs <2,500 lbs and has 50-50 weight distribution. This is why it belongs on that list.

Since everyone's listed the usual suspects already (i.e. the most obvious choices), here's a few more worth consideration:

A. Subaru SVX

B. Toyota MR2 (AW11, SW22, W30)

C. Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

D. Caterham Roadsport

E. Mazda AZ-1

Is a GT-R or ZR1 really "affordable" ? If they are, the Porsche 911 should be on the list.
