I just wanted to see people's opinions on what the best car under 20k, used or new and Under 10 years old.
I realize this will be comparing apples to oranges.
Requirements, budget friendly in either mpg, consumables, repair costs, or all.
Cars should also be competitive in their class.
I've just been thinking about this lately.
A few quick cars that come to mind... Abarth 500, V6 camaro, velociter, brz...
Your thoughts and why?
You should be able to get a 2010ish Mustang GT for those prices. That's probably what I'd go with.
Of course, BMW depreciation has also worked its magic on the 135i and 335i, which offer a lot of fun in that price range.
You can also get a used MS3 or FOST easily in that price range.
If you made me pick new cars, I'd just go with a Mazda 3 with the most bells and whistles you can get with a manual for under $20k.

That's a really broad spectrum. Using those criteria, I could make a strong argument for the Prius or especially the Nissan Leaf. You can grab a lightly used Leaf for $10k or under. They're extraordinarily budget friendly when it comes to mpg, consumables costs are minimal, repair costs are also minimal (until the battery dies). If you need longer range, than the Prius or Volt fit the bill.
Sounds like you just described the Fiesta ST. You can get it for about 20K new or 14-17K used. It's a class leader in Autox. Tires are cheap for it and it's pretty light on tires. It'll get you about 30 MPG and can fit 3-4 in a pinch. Beats all of the cars you listed hands down.
Never driven one, but I'm pretty partial to how they look and I've heard they are good, so I'm going with the NC Miata Club. The '06 GTO also slips in there too, but just barely on time.
newest VW GTI you can find, my 2013, with 19k miles, stage 1 revo tune, loaded (minus leather) rang up at 18,800$
