Matrix/Corolla XRS!
Sensible, because it’s a Toyota. Somewhat efficient (25 MPG, or thereabouts), available with a manual, and fun due to the revvy as hell 2ZZ. And it’s dead reliable, because it’s a Corolla. I’m pretty sure you could easily find one under 7 grand US.

Shittily-modded stretched 4 door hardtop Miata wagon with Camry internals and a manual and I’ll tell people it has the same engine from a certain Lotus.

Those rare and few manual Camrys. Put some fun springs on it, remove the back seats and own your local Autocross people.

That V10 Dodge will make V6 power with Big Block MPGs to go with it. Cool, but hardly efficient.

Holy shit. I am not a truck guy at ALL, but that Dodge Ram V-10 for 2500 bucks seems like its a steal.

According to Wikipedia, only the 06 GTP had a 6 speed manual option. Then, in 2007, the GT offered it as well. It’s kinda hard to decipher it all to be honest. That car had several configs and trim levels and options etc. 1 year the top trim was GTP, the following year it was GT etc. But all that aside, I have NEVER seen a manual version of that car, ever. So I would be intrigued...
