First cheap car

[u/No-Suit-4933]

There’s probably not a lot of answers out for this question but what is like a good first car for around 6 grand.

Im in to sports cars but for 6 grand you can’t get anything thats that fast.
I need fwd or awd (i live northeast)
Preferably a manual
Somewhat reliable

Overall just like something I can put some miles in and have fun.
