Are there any affordable to run, fun cars you can recommend?

Do you have any suggestions for an affordable to run car with more than five cylinders? Otherwise, I have to go down the boring car route to replace my 2005 Volkswagen Golf GT? I'm tall, ruling out some sportscars. I just fancy something that burbles for once in my life before petrol and diesel cars are banned. Fuel and insurance aren't a problem. Don't mind paying more initially if the depreciation, servicing and maintenance is low cost.

Generally, the more cylinders, the more a car will cost to run. If you want something that sounds good and you're not too concerned about fuel bills, consider a Ford Mustang with the 5.0-litre V8 engine. It'll sound incredible and won't lose a huge amount of value in the short term.
