What is a good manual car that is badass but under 6k used?

I’m lowkey just tryna find a cool manual car just to cruise around in in my free time. I’m looking on marketplace and I found a few bmw’s, a 1990 corvette coupe, and a 1987 Mazda rx-7. Are there any other ones that are reliable cheap and look nice? I don’t know that much about car maintenance but I am taking a class on it in a week. Lmk for any advice or suggestions :)
