Since it's Canada please check parts availability and if your mechanic hopefully not the dealer will work on it not too far. Other thing is insurance it might be more than the car payment. I picked stuff that has already depreciated holds value although probably won't go up much. I like the Genesis GV-70 something. They have a big and little one. Apparently south Korea is coming out with the best stuff these days. Obviously a couple years old preferably a rental you will save half like I did with my Mazda. Any of the Mazda's SUV. The 2013 to 21  Rav 4 reliable and good in the winter it does beep at you when you droft in the snow. The older Lexus GX 470 the one that is basically a Toyota land cruiser from the 90's with a nice stereo. Upgrade the head unit with an Android one should be easy and take less than a day. Low miles older 98-2005 Cherokee before they sucked. Saw a newish SRT-8 in for it's 3rd cam swap before a 180K the mechanic didn't want to have to tell him. 

By the way you will fit in a Gen I Miata a friend had one drove it in the winter in North Dakota and our roommate was a strong man like did the competitions he fit just saying. 

Fun car:  Dodge Challenger with the Gen 3 Hemi that parts important the displacement on demand variable valve timing is a no go. They don't lose there value and for fun make your own hellcat with the 5.8. C6 (generation 6) Corvette but the C5,C6,7 Z06 are all pretty cheap freaking fast and are way better performing than people have the ability or tolerance for. 450hp Viper I drove is so fast you have to have your head back. 2011-2017 with the LS7. Don't be fooled by all the big numbers it. Handling is great you can fix it with a hammer people have added superchargers no upgrade and they go 200,000 miles. RX-8 with an LS was the most fun car to drive everyone drove it like they stole it and few were serviced properly so cheap to get one with a blown engine. The swap isn't that cheap but way under your budget same goes with the 911's and Cayman's. All great fun cars too but be careful with there reliability and service records. The Engines will blow and too many people didn't take care of them and drove them hard.  RX-7, Supra, Honda S2000 all day long probably go up in value. Insurance mechanic consumer reports from the library. Do your research also remember there's a difference between being able to buy something and affording it.
