Miata is always the answer
Ive driven many vehicles but this one was so great i bought it, very easy to drive and puts a smile on my face everytime i get in it. It is an old car but its very easy to work on and do preventative maintenance. i am 5’10 and the interior fits me perfectly but for my 6’ and up folks out there there are lower profile seat brackets/seats and removable steering wheel options plentiful.

Easy to Drive, Live With, Wrench on
The first generation Mazda Miata is an amazing car, but you have to know what you're getting into. This is a car specifically made to be fun and engaging to drive. The steering is direct, the gearbox is just effortlessly smooth, the clutch is light and forgiving. It certainly is a joyous affair, but it comes with some side effects: lots of NVH, opposite-of-luxurious ride quality, cramped interior. Still, those pluses are hard to argue, and, say--have I mentioned these things are pretty easy on gas? Also, consider this: the engineering matches the interior in that it's spartan, simple, utilitarian, user-friendly, not fancy, not fussy. This car is easy to maintain, and (at least partially) because it's easy to maintain, it's very reliable. There's a lot to like, just be ready to feel the road.

Most Fun Car For the Price
Of course there are more spacious and comfortable and roomy cars that you can drive but in terms of pure enjoyment, nothing beats the miata.
