Our #1 Pick: 2023 Nissan Z

The Nissan Z offers the best overall package for new players. With a PI of 831 and a price of just $55,000, it outperforms cars costing twice as much. The twin-turbo V6 delivers smooth power delivery and the handling is excellent for both street and mountain driving.

Budget Option: MX-5 Miata

If you want to save every credit, the MX-5 Miata at $35,000 is an absolute bargain. It won't win drag races, but on winding roads through Kyoto or technical mountain passes, it handles better than cars twice its price.

Note: Prices and PI values are based on pre-launch data and may vary slightly at launch.
