Best Affordable Sports Cars

The ranking of Car and Driver is derived from the comprehensive instrument testing results we conduct on hundreds of vehicle models every year, as well as the subjective feelings of expert editors in driving on real road conditions. When selecting the best sports car, we referred to about 200 data indicators, covering acceleration performance, handling, comfort, storage space, fuel economy, cost performance and driving pleasure. We value rankings so much because we want you to be familiar with the vehicles you are interested in.

Car and Driver's ranking is based on two major sources: first, large-scale instrument test data conducted on hundreds of vehicle models every year, and second, the subjective feelings accumulated by our professional editorial team during actual road driving. We combined approximately 200 data points-covering acceleration, handling, comfort, storage space, fuel economy, value for money and driving pleasure-to select the best economy sports car. We are very strict about rankings because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in.
