Behind the Scenes at an AutoGuide.com Video Shoot

We’re back again today at our home test track and working to answer one question: what is the best performance car for under $30,000?

As a reminder, we’ve got the Subaru WRX, Ford Focus ST, Ford Fiesta ST, Honda Civic Si, Nissan Juke NISMO RS, Mazda MX-5 and the Scion FR-S. The review will be released in two weeks as a three-part series and part one will look at how the cars perform on the street. Episode two will add track performance and narrow down the candidates to a final three. We’ll crunch the numbers and bring you the final segment where there will be an overall winner.

But in the meantime, join us via Twitter and tell us what you think. We’ll be documenting the our progress and the social media conversation via Storify so jump in with us. It’s going to be one heck of a ride.
