need recommendation for purchasing a car

i will be leasing a car soon but i need some suggestions of a car (brand new or used) with a 20k budget limit.

im not looking for any performance type cars, just something that is reliable and looks sexy.

right now if i could get my hand on a used 4th gen camaro, that would be great. but im looking for more options out here. doesnt matter if its japanese or american or even north korean

20k for a brand new car doesn't get much; especially something that looks 'sexy'. There's the usual mazda3, civic, golf.

^ that made me lol

Go for a Genesis if you don't mind korean. Or... just get the Camaro..
"Sexy" is different for everyone. What you think is sexy the next person could think is butt ugly

lol because leasing ends up being more expensive tha financing in the long run.... Financing gets you an asset that you can sell after. Leasing gets you nothing and costs you extra when you have to pay for repairs during the return or going over KMS etc

you asked for a reliable car...

I think you should take rx7 off the list.

I've heard some bad stories with them.

not sure about rx8 though..
