Honda: Civic, Integra, Prelude, RSX
Toyota: Celica
Nissan: Sentra SE-R, 240SX
Mazda: 323 / Protege, Miata
Subaru: 2.5RS

Even the domestics had some fun stuff:

Ford: Escort GT (shared platform with 323 / Protege), Probe, Mustang
Chrysler: Neon
Chevrolet: Camaro

VW: Golf, Corrado

Bimmers start to get expensive, so I won't count them in.

Nowadays, the only affordable fun car I can think of are the GR86 / BRZ and Miata. Almost everything else became boring to drive.

Yup. You are right.

I thought about picking up a cheap Neon SRT-4 back then. Cheap fun with tons of potential. Always remembered the WRX vs SRT-4 commerical haha

Also 2001-2005 Nissan Sentra SER Spec V was also a fun little car that not many ppl knew about.
