I would like to buy an older car for use as a commuter over the next two years. The car will then be given to my son when he turns 16. He will use it as a daily driver, as well as track days, high performance schools, and autox.

Rear drive is a must, would prefer 4 door but might consider a two door. Don't like any cars that have those goofy motorized shoulder belts. I'm 6' 4" tall and my recently turned 14 year old is 6' 1" tall, so I'm thinking head and leg room is going to be important.

Along with my son we will slowly (over the next two years) do some simple maintenance and modifications to make the car track worthy. At this time I'm not planning on turning it into a full-on race car. Just robust enough for some track days, autox etc. If he decides he wants to pursue racing then he will have to bring some sponsorship to the table, and maybe I'll consider it. Would like to stay in the 4-6K range money wise.

Any such animal that meets these requirements?
