It can be difficult to be a young car enthusiast. Desire wants something sporty, with power, handling, style, and a degree of exclusivity.
Income says otherwise.
Especially for those who can afford only one car, a strict two-seater is limited in use, except by the committed fanatic. Affordable sports sedans are few and far between, and, anyway, are sedans. That leaves sports coupes. There are problems there, too. Far too many reasonably-priced sports coupes have either migrated upmarket past affordability or have just plain disappeared.
