I think everything Jason said made total sense. He noted that the M2 can't be his daily driver, and he has dedicated track cars. Given his needs, the M2 isn't a good fit for him.
However, for people who DO need a daily driver, and can't have a separate track car, you are right. Options are indeed slim, especially if you want a new car (with warranty) and an MT. Jason can't help us with that.
Practical-ish 4 seater RWD MT sports cars, still in production, for < $70K: M2, RS3 (slight cheat, AWD+DCT), CLA 45, Mustang GT/DH, Camaro (but it's gone next year), CT4-V BW. No slam dunk winner, each car has strengths and weaknesses.
If you are willing to give up the RWD, the GR Corolla looks to be a hoot.
