The Toyota GT86 boasts the appearance and performance of a legit sports car. It shares similarities with an MX-5, in particular a roof and compact rear seats. However, the interior design may come across as somewhat outdated, and it isn’t the most refined car you’ll find out on the motorway. It’s worth noting that the GT86 has been succeeded by the GR86, albeit in limited production quantities; the UK allocation sold out in a mere 90 minutes!
7. Volkswagen Golf GTI
8/10
The Volkswagen Golf GTI is a legend in the hot hatch world. It is one of the most practical and affordable sports cars on the market, and it still offers a great driving experience. The GTI comes with plenty of features that make it perfect for everyday driving, such as a comfortable interior, a spacious cargo area, and a variety of driver assistance technologies. It is also a blast to drive on winding roads, thanks to its agile handling and powerful engine. However, the GTI’s decidedly “user-unfriendly” infotainment system might drive you a bit mad, and the exhaust note is a bit more subdued than a rockstar like you would prefer.
