My dad wants to buy a small “sport” car (under 4.4m) with 4 seats. Please help me with some suggestions because he wanted to buy a mini cooper john cooper works, but he can get something better (budget ~ 50k €)

not to familiar with that market area however I can tell you that the S-works cooper with a supercharger is a fantastic car.
handles like it's on rails and fairly nippy.
there's the Toyota GR Yaris which has been getting shining reviews and should just barely be within budget.
I'm not sure if they're sold there or if you can import them but the latest/newest Hyundai N cars have been killing it so something like the Hyundai i20n or i30n from late 2023 early 2024 could be great.
same story as with Hyundai would apply to the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ, it's not got the most power but it's a 2+2 fairly affordable RWD sports car with good driving dynamics just within the length requirements. though they use a fairly basic single clutch auto which isn't the fastest though it's still a pretty good transmission

Is the most recent Fiesta ST available in your area?
And I’ve not driven one but I read the sportiest version of the Renault Megane is a fun car too

Any other suggestions that are more on the luxury part? The budget can go higher depending on other stuff..i like the mercedes A class amg, more that are similar to it?

GLA AMG is a good one. Is a 2 series M small enough?

You just have to push it to the limits for a while I guess

I suspect OP’s father won’t be doing that
Unless OP’s last name is Alonso or Hamilton 😆

yea, you gotta push it hard and for quite a while on high traction surfaces and even that isn't always enough.
it's cause the rear diff is overdriven to make the car oversteer when you're on the gas which causes excessive heat production and then the diff has insufficient cooling to deal with it

it's a decently impressive vehicle but it's also 40CM longer then the maximum dimension given and though it's decently powerful it's hardly a sporty car or sports car

used BMW 2 series I would say if it needs to be modern. Tho for 50k he might be able to get a 8 series BMW as an 840 (which is the only good engine in that model)

BMW does makes some great cars

2 series is also fast
important in modern ones is to get the B58 i.e. the x40 version
with older ones you need to be careful cause there are quit a lot of lemons

could work if they was US based but sadly we don't get it here in Europe and they're in Romania
I did suggest the GR Yaris though so that's 2 of us now

It's a pretty good car. That's actually such ashame you can't get em in Europe. They will probably will bring them to Europe though it would do way better in the European market then the American market

it's weird we didn't get it since we got the GR Yaris but it is what it is

what generation M2?
cause if it's the current gen then I'd take the AMG hands down however if it's an older gen then I'd preffer the m2
