To start, the car I'm gonna get has to be coupe and stick.
I can't get a german car because I have a family full of Holocaust survives, and they would resent me for it...
My budget is supposed to be under ten.
Right now I'm looking at an Acura RSX Type S (probably 02-03), the only turn off is that it is FWD. (I'm in LA, so slippery surfaces are not a problem)
Is there a car that would potentially be a better choice? Nissan?
Don't care if it take high octane cause its usually only a $2 difference around me...
BTW, its just gonna be a daily for right now.

Most of your Japanese or American choices in that price range are going to be older or FWD. So that's going to have to be a non-issue. The Acura is a good choice overall, unless you're willing to go older and look for a Nissan, Mazda, or Toyota RWD car, like a Z car of some sort (and again, the 300ZX wil be older, as would a Mazda RX7 Turbo II). A Lexus SC300 can be had with a stick, as can the IS200 (though that's a 4 door, it's a very nice small 4 door) and both are RWD.

Normally I'd also say look into Mustangs, but the ones in your price range are older or V6 versions and I'm not so sure you'd like them. '05 and up are decent cars, but are over $10k for good ones (I paid $16k for my '06 GT).

Yes it was. I deleted the post.

You would be silly to discount German brands, the E36 would suit your needs perfectly and is much better than everything suggested here.

The IS200 is not bad, but totally gutless. You can get an IS300, but they are auto only.
