Under $50k???? I know I may be construed as a LOSER if I can't afford "cheap" performance cars in the $30 - $50k range, but for me there are alternatives. Lotus Elan, Lotus Europa, Lotus Elite (the cheapest or them all), the Lotus Esprit, and even the Lotus Elise and Exige. All used, some older than others, all extremely fun to drive but not perhaps your daily driver. There's more to it than just brute HP numbers and WiFi connectivity and rear view cameras. Turn off the radio, cell phone, navigation, Blue Tooth and drive. You will be rewarded. BTW, I'm fond of the Subaru, GTI and the new Mustang however. I could go on with other marques as well.....
With the exception of the GTI and the new ND Mazda this felt like the 30-50k listing. With that in mind, some additions or replacements I would consider are the Audi S3, the future Focus RS, future Golf R, BMW 228i (with M Sport) and a few more. Overall only ones disagreement about the list...are you sure that the Genesis Coupe is the real deal yet :)
