Get a third generation Acura TL.
Find one with a tranny already swapped or rebuilt, and you'll have very reliable car, low maintenance/insurance, comfy to drive and has the power when you need it.
They're under 13k last I checked. If you can afford more, the Type-S will give you more ponies under the hood.

3G TL's are around 15-20k for the base nowadays. Type-S you're looking at at least 20k for a clean one and its not <6s in 0-60. Quote:

E.g., Easily $5K for a Boxster S if you don't do labour yourself.
If you really could afford the maintenance, I doubt your budget would be so low.

Well...I picked up a 2005 3G TL myself, fully loaded with Nav and A-Spec front lip and transmission rebuilt. 112,000 KM for $13,000 last December. I'd imagine the price could only go down. The average was about $14,000-$15,000 when I was searching in the market back then.

S2000
Of all my cars, my favorite was my S2000. I want another one so bad, and I want to put a GT40r on it. I remember so many fun times with that car!
Parts are dirt cheap, it looks great, handles great, is SO fun to drive, and girls will assume you have a large penis driving a car that small.

If I had 15 grand I'd be looking at an ITR (if you can find one that hasn't been molested), EP3 or maybe a TSX. Good on gas (mostly) and they look great. Looking at your list I wouldn't get any of those.. Call it my preference but the maintenance costs down the road ohh buddy  | |

I'd get an e46 coupe (330 or 325i) with that price range. It'll probably use the least gas on that list and it'll handle nice on the road  I have never owned a Benz, but I hear the repairs can be insane. Why do you need a car that does 0-60 in 6 seconds and how old are you might I ask? I am guessing you are either in high school or just graduated.

I don't know why you would consider a boxster, since they are generally considered as your hair dresser's car kinda like the Audi TT, but if that's how you swing then i guess go for it.
Assuming that you can afford the maintenance of a Porsche, e500 or a 745i. Why don't you just factor reliability into your price as well? If you buy a reliable car like a Lexus you could easily bump your budget into 23-25k
