Prices will depend on where you live, but I'm confident they will fit in your budget. The Mazda will accelerate faster, the Ford has a higher top speed. Also the Mazda is more fuel efficient. My advice: Get the Mazda, even if it costs you slightly more, you'll save in the long run on gas. Also you said you wanted something sporty, I'm assuming to race from traffic light to traffic light? For that, you'll need acceleration, not top speed so the Mazda will fit better here. Also it says the Ford I selected is a manual, but you should look for an automatic.
