Luckily, there is a thriving bundle of choices for the driver on a moderately healthy budget.

Sure, the 418-hp Bronco Raptor may take the performance crown, but its near six-figure price tag disqualifies it from this list. That's no problem, though, because even Broncos with the base 300-hp turbo four-cylinder or 330-hp twin-turbo six-pot are a hoot in the dirt.

Compared to other options, the Maverick is light, affordable, and with its optional turbocharged engine, surprisingly quick. But to really make the Maverick fun, you'll want to opt for the Tremor package. Limited to Maverick XLT and Lariat's with the 250-hp forced-induction four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive, the Tremor kit gives Ford's little truck a bit of extra off-road-readiness, straight from the factory. This includes additional underbody protection, a 1.0-inch lift, a torque-vectoring rear diff, chunky all-terrain tires, and more.

Honda Civic Si—$30,195Marc Urbano|Car and DriverThere's a reason the entire Civic line nabs a spot on our 10Best list: they're all a joy to drive. But if you really want a Civic sedan that puts an extra emphasis on driving engagement, then the Si is the model for you. With 200 horses and a slick-shifting six-speed manual, the Si combines the value proposition the Civic's long been famous for with the powertrain of the pricier Acura Integra.

If so, the 315-hp Type R is singing your name through its sublime six-speed manual and triple-piped exhaust. The latest Type R looks more refined and expensive than the last one, all for a rather reasonable $45,890.

Subaru BRZ—$31,315SubaruA masterclass of balanced handling, perfectly weighted steering, and chassis control, the Subaru BRZ is among the best performance values. It's neither the quickest nor the most technologically advanced two-door out there, but it is among the most engaging. Plus, it even has two small rear seats should you need to schlep a couple extra passengers in a pinch.

Toyota GR Corolla—$37,595Michael Simari|Car and DriverThe Toyota GR Corolla is another former 10Best winner that continues to excite us. Yes, its rough ride and single-purpose nature may make the GR a bit less approachable than its Honda-badged competition (Civic Type R), but in its element, the three-cylinder Toyota is an absolute blast to hoon.

The $47,535 four-cylinder GR Supra is among the latter. The 255-hp model is still fun to drive, but the turbo four lacks the power and available manual transmission of its six-cylinder kin. Going the stick-shift route pushes the price up to $56,495. To us, that's a small price to pay for a GR Supra with 382 horsepower and three pedals.

Volkswagen Golf GTI—$33,190VolkswagenOur favorite hot hatch never grows old. The Volkswagen Golf GTI keeps ticking with a turbo four, an available six-speed manual transmission, great handling, usable space, and available plaid seats. The quality inside isn't quite what Volkswagen was giving us a few years ago, but we'll admit it's still just as fun.
