Mazda

MX-5

The Mazda MX-5 has become a sanctuary for anyone that savours cheap but hugely rewarding sports car driving. It’s available with a cloth roof that folds down manually, or with a metal roof that does so electrically. This kind of simple driving enjoyment that the Mazda MX-5 provides is hard to match at any price.

Audi

R8

The Audi R8 is a powerful sports car that you can use everyday. It’s a rival to mega-fast machines Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren. The huge levels of grip provided by the quattro four-wheel-drive system mean you can use every single one of the R8’s horsepower, making it an an utterly captivating and addictive sports car to drive.

Aston Martin

Vantage

The Aston Martin Vantage certainly isn’t a sports car for shy, retiring types – you can thank its thunderous V8 bellow and eye-popping styling for that. With its blend of British craftsmanship and German engineering, the all-new Vantage goes just as well as it looks – and sounds!

Toyota

GT86

The Toyota GT86 was never supposed to be the fastest or the most outlandish sports car, instead, its bare-bones approach is meant to put a huge smile on your face all the time. The GT86 is incredibly nimble and fantastically responsive. Few rivals can turn a series of mini-roundabouts into as much fun as this two-door sports car.

Alfa Romeo

Giulia QV

Alfa has knocked the ball out of the park with Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. It's better than a BMW M3; it's better than a Mercedes C63 AMG. It's beautiful, charismatic and a whole heap of fun and you can absolutely live with it every day.
