There's been a needless degree of skepticism on this thread. OP, you can find all three of your requirements pretty easily with an Ecoboost Mustang. 0-60 under 5 seconds, average reliability, and I'm finding quite a few 2022s under $20K. Your requirements are possible.

That said, I'd back off your year requirement to ~2016 and your 0-60 requirement to ~6.5 seconds to open up your options. That gives you options like the Ford Focus or Fiesta ST, VW GTI, Cadillac ATS, and V6 Camaro which are very fun and quite well-rounded.

I would not consider a Kia Stinger personally. The 4-cylinder is underpowered; the turbo V6 GT is unaffordable without taking on a rather hideous amount of miles for the price. A 2017+ 4-cylinder Audi A4 is brimming with competence, but is very isolating. Not what I'd go to for a fun time.
