The good folks over at the racing-focused 'ImportRace' channel on YT are back dwelling around their usual venue - Island Dragway in Great Meadows, New Jersey ...

All are priced in the mid-$30,000 range or less, and all offer a manual transmission. Add VW’s Golf GTI if you prefer a hatchback, or the Golf R and Toyota GR Corolla for a bit more money.

Warning: Seeing a Mk1 Volkswagen GTI in a horrid state of disrepair can cause nausea, dizziness, and heart palpitations.
