MR-S = corolla engine in a "sports" car... But yes, they are rather nice... And with the right kind of mods, can give an Elise a run for its money...
Yaris = very versatile, not sporty by origin but can quite easily be turned into a giant-killer....

MR-S, get a 2zz swap and some suspension and you have a poor man's Elise. I'm curious as to what you consider a giant?

Actually with the economy, 60k mi Elise's are being sold for $20k. A 2zz swap in a Spyder can get expensive, almost $7k to do it right. But there are hidden costs with the Elise like insurance, parts, fender benders, etc. I ruled out the Elise, too exotic, to many hidden long-term costs. |

 Regal, try and find someone near you who's done some suspension work on their car and go for a spin with them
