Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86 - $25,795 / $26,505
Like the Miata, the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 fall under the $45,000 mark, but their hilariously fun-to-drive characteristics means they deserve a spot on this list. With just 205 horsepower, you might be wanting for more shove at times, but once you take a corner at speed, you'll forget all about that.
