Gr 86 vs Elantra N

I'm at a crossroads right now trying to figure out which car I should get. I want to learn how to drive stick so both cars will be manual. Both cars are appealing in their own ways and they both offer things I'd want in car such as practicality and smiles per gallon. The only thing that's making it a tough decision is the insurance. The insurance is the only thing really stopping me. It's either do I pay more insurance for a faster car or do I settle for a more raw driving experience with less insurance costs. I'm curious what you guys think.
