This year is the year, you’re ready to get a sports car, but then you actually look up some prices and you’re thinking maybe next years the year. Think again, below are some of the highest rated and most affordable sports cars of 2013.
The 2013 model of the Scion FR-S has shaken up the affordable sports car class; this car’s engine is mounted as low and as far back in the engine bay as possible, has a low center of gravity, and performance-tuned suspension. These qualities make this car one of the most enjoyable and affordable sports cars on the market. Dealers brag that the FR-S also stands out with better safety ratings than most cars in the class.
The latest model of the MX-5 Miata provides a light weight that delivers a responsive engine and a transmission that offers precise shifts that reinforce this cars fun driving dynamics. Dealer’s claim that the Miata soaks up bumps on the road better than many sports cars of its quality and it also gets up to 22/28 mpg on city and highway driving.
Dealers have claimed, and reviewers have agreed, that the 2013 Subaru BRZ provides a track-ready performance at an affordable price. Critics have been shocked by the BRZ’s peppy engine, magnificent handling and slick-shifting transmissions. The BRZ also offers a better safety score than many competing sports cars.
This year’s Ford Mustang offers muscle-car performance at a compelling price. The Ford has a supercharged engine that ranges from a base V6 to an impressive V8. Dealers and reviews claim that the Ford Mustang offers more power than a number of cars in the class. Compared with the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger, critics agree that the Ford Mustang is the most agile.
