"Performance" car doesn't automatically mean somehow every used one has been trashed by a 19 year old street racer. I would figure as long as it drives well and still has a warranty there shouldn't be too much to worry about given the cost savings, especially if you could find a car for sale from a community or forum such as this one.
I guess it all depends on what you are looking for. A Miata, Camaro, Stinger, Veloster, Challenger, Corvette and STI are all VERY different cars lol and can't imagine cross shopping them when you also seem extremely particular on how you would need your GT optioned just so??
For me there are very few cars that are livable daily drivers that are also fun in the corners like an STI while also being comfortable for long hauls/with the lady. The miata is slow, a "fast" FWD car like the Veloster is just a tease, at least to me, a challenger is useless for anyone who writes 4 paragraphs about how amazing the STI's driving dynamics are, more-affordable driver's cars like the STI have compromises like a rough ride, the Stinger is automatic only, etc etc. That really only leaves the big american 3 for someone that wants livability, performance and the fun of RWD/stick at an affordable price, the mustang, camaro, and corvette. And if a new one of those that you want isn't in the budget then that leaves you with used, or else a car like the ones you listed that are going to have some compromises. Corvettes are fantastic cars, and have always been made for the retiree who doesn't want his spine shattered going to the golf course so I'm not sure why you think it would be a bad daily. I don't know what new C7's are going for these days, but I can't imagine them going for much less than a loaded GT.
