Japanese cars are very popular and loved all over the world.
Commonly and wrongly referred to as "JDM" cars, many of them have been the dream of
lots of people all over the world, and still are commonly discussed about and lusted after.
The Fast and The Furious franchise, Need For Speed games and the internet are usually who
to blame for the fame of plenty of Japanese Cars, including the R34 Skyline GT-R, the
Mark Four Turbo Supra and lots of others.
Trouble is though, these cars are getting alarmingly expensive, and they're well past
the days when buying one wasn't such a crazy idea.
Here's a list of 10 JDM Heroes that won't break the bank, or whose values have already
dropped to their lowest point, and are about to shoot up.
Mazda MX-5 NΑ
The Mark 1 Mazda Miata is an internet icon.
Everyone and their grandmother has bought one, so many of them still are on the roads,
despite being a car that's 20 to 30 years old already.
Famous internet meme says Miata Is Always The Answer, and there's no need for introductions
here.
Being so popular and cheap, a huge amount of them were riced, crashed and modded beyond
recognition, and clean examples are becoming increasingly rare.
Miata prices are on the rise, with Limited Edition models fetching higher numbers.
They still are affordable enough, as prices haven't risen enough yet, but it won't stay
this way for too long.
S2000
The Big Miata Two Thousand, also known as Honda S2000, is Honda's 50th anniversary gift
to its own self.
Released in 1999, this two-seater sportscar features timeless looks, lots of quirks and
an open top.
It makes a lot of noise, it loves to wiggle its tail all over the place and it's pure
driving joy.
It never was as cheap as a Miata and it obviously still isn't, with far fewer of'em having been
made, and it also isn't as newbie friendly, so many of them have already been wrapped
around trees and poles.
If you manage to find a clean example for a relatively low amount of money, you're not
only looking at one of the world's best roadsters, but you're also looking at a potential investment,
prices of these have bottommed out quite some time ago, so act fast.
Type R EP3
This is the Honda "Bye-bye GTi", Honda's answer to the Mark 5 Golf GTI.
It was fast, it was agile, it was brutal, it was fun.
Naturally aspirated, not many bells and whistles, great cornering and a 8000rpm redline.
It was a Type R done right.
The interior is a bit spartan, while the exterior looks are not loved by everybody, but these
don't matter when it comes to a hot hatchback.
Many people prefer it to the newer FN Type R. It's new enough for you to be able to find
a clean, unabused example, but it's also old enough to be able to be found cheap.
RX-8
Milk has a best before date, this car has a best before 60,000 miles sticker on it from
the factory, or so do many ignorant people still think to this date.
You see, the RX-8 was a sportscar that was fun, fairly fast, looked great, had a nice
interior and was even pretty practical.
On top of that, it was genuinely cheap for what it offered compared to the competition.
The main issue was the 1.3 Rotary Engine.
Or rather, the owners of the cars who didn't treat them as they should have.
Rotaries required special maintenance, they loved to be thrashed, or rather had to, and
neglect caused them to go kaboom way before they should have.
This has led to fear regarding the rotary engine, and in turn low rx8 prices.
Lots of clean RX8s with dead engines can be found going around for real cheap, and can
be good projects as a 3rd car IF you're really careful upon purchase, while overall good
examples are also great value, due to all the rotary propaganda causing people to stay
away from them.
Shop wisely and you'll love it.
Evo 10
All EVOs are incredible cars, no doubt about it.
Rally pedigree, interesting looks to say the least and amazing all-round performers.
Sadly, Mitsubishi pulled the plug in 2016, and 24 years worth of crazy sedans have come
to an end.
The Evo 10 is the last generation, starting in 2007, with the newest examples being 2
years old.
They're not what I in particular would consider affordable by no means, but they offer the
best value out of the entire EVO family.
Older EVO generations are increasing in value, while the tenth one is currently still dropping.
Skyline GT-R R33
The R33 is the unloved child of the Skyline family.
It sits right in between the R32, which has a lot of racing pedigree and the R34, which
is undoubtedly one of the most famous cars in the universe.
The R32 used to be fairly affordable, until it turned 25 and was elligible for import
into the US that is.
Good news is that the R33 isn't yet, so prices haven't skyrocketed as of now.
If you want 95% of the thrills a R34 GT-R can give you, and a price that definitely
will increase, the R33 is the one you should go after.
Skyline GT-T R34
The R35 generation Nissan GT-R, is quite simply a GT-R. It's not a Skyline GT-R. It isn't
the top range model of a family of cars, it simply is a standalone model.
Up until the R34 generation though, that was not the case.
The GT-T is the GT-R's younger brother.
It still features the same chassis (albeit without the crazy, crazily desirable GT-R
bodyparts), similar looks, a turbocharged straight-six and is properly sporty.
Putting a GT-R bodykit on a GT-T is very common practice, making these two cars almost indistinguishable
from each other.
This obviously leads to ever-increasing prices, but since it's not an actual GT-R, you still
do have a chance to grab one for reasonable cash.
Beware, lots of GT-T's sold are autos, so unless you're into that kinda stuff, stay
away.
Impreza STi 2nd Gen Facelift
I bet that no matter who you ask, this is the Impreza that pops to people's minds whenever
you say Impreza WRX STi.
I'm referring to the 2004 Blobeye Impreza, obviously painted Blue with Golden wheels.
This car is iconic, I'm sure you can imagine it skidding around on gravel while burbling
away.
Since production of the STi hasn't stopped yet, this means prices haven't started increasing
yet, so these still can be great value.
Mazda 3 MPS
Whenever someone talks about hot hatches, I'm sure the Mazdaspeed 3 isn't what first
comes to mind.
Practicality, 263hp, 6-speed manual and a limited slip differential as standard are
key features to a hot hatch though, and are what makes this small hatch so great.
I think we can all agree on the fact that it looks nice, and that it definitely isn't
appreciated enough, hiding in the shadow of cars like the Golf GTI of the time.
That actually comes in at your benefit, as the oldest examples are only 11 years old
and you can still find plenty mint, unabused Mazdaspeed 3's.
RX-7 FC
The RX-7 FD is an icon.
It was created with intentions of competing with Turbo 911's of the time, and it did that,
rather well.
Now, add a high price in the mix, coupled with lots of pop culture influence, and we've
got an incredible 90's coupe with prices on the rise.
This is where the FC comes along.
Replace curves with edges, reduce power and complexity, add a bit of weight and a couple
of years on its back, and cut the price in half.
Big part of the thrills, for half the price.
Find a clean Turbo model, and trust me, you're looking at an investment.
So, that was it for today's video guys, I hope you enjoyed it.
Which one of these would you buy with your own money?
