Hi, looking for suggestions for the first car

Location: Italy

Price range: Under 10000€

Lease or Buy: Buy

New or used: Used

Type of vehicle: I would like a sports car, or a coupé

Must haves: RWD

Desired transmission (auto/manual, etc): Manual

Intended use: Daily Driver and Project Car

Vehicles you've already considered: MX-5 NB (fell in love with the design. Only issue is 1) in Italy they would cut the soft top to steal. 2) I would love a 4 seats so I can give rides if needed

Is this your 1st vehicle: Yes

Do you need a Warranty: No

Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: (fluids, alternator, battery, brake pads etc) Yes

Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: (engine and transmission, timing belt/chains, body work, suspension etc) No

Additional Notes: I really love the mx-5 design. My dream car is the Toyota Supra MK5 and hopefully I'll be able to buy it. I really enjoy that sporty look on cars and would love something similar. Only issue is the car needs to be <105kW and <75kW/t in order to be driven for new drivers here in Italy. I want to understand if you guys who surely have more experience than me would go for something like a BMW 118d in order to maximize performance while still having RWD. Or just get the mx-5 NB with a hard top.
