Lets see, you dont want to spend much money, but want the car to be good at just about everything. As soon as you find such a car, let the rest of us know. In the mean time, you should pick what you want the car to do first off and then you might get some good suggestions.
Also, why would you want a car to "drift" - how often do you really think you're going to try that?

just get something you like. find several different cars that interest you and then do some research on each. that is the only way that you will end up with something that you really want....

well you could get something like a crx or integra- cheap and fairly fast, unfortunately they aren't the most durable cars ever and you will look like the 54976354967475974394 other people with one.
whatever you do dont buy a jap car made before 1990 because it WILL fall apart in your hands from rust. My first (and only so far) car is a 1990 Pontiac Lemans 1.6L sedan- quite nice, had it for about a year and nothing has gone wrong with it. the clutch is a bit high but once you learn it then you will be able to drive any car with ease. they look ok, cheap to run, and they go fairly fast- i was driving along behind an audi A4 and he tried to burn me off by charging up to 150 kmh and I didnt even have to change down. oh and if you want any more inspiration then take a look at what this dude done with his little pontiac- http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...ntiac%20Lemans

Why not a Peugeot 405 (1988-1991) ? There are some left in the US. It's not easy to find but it's original. There are also some Alfa.
I don't know if it's exepensive there but I think it's not because these makes don't sell any more in North America.

I guess that they are smart enough to know these big makes. Even if it's not sold in the US.
We're European, and we know what is Dodge for example even if it's not sold here.

I guess Americans are a little more inward looking when it comes to cars. From my experience, ive seen that few like to learn about cars that arent sold in their own market ... thats why most havent heard of Peugeot or renault etc....
