When the high demand for vehicles results in higher prices, shoppers tend to focus on more economical cars. Of course, trying to find a smaller car that offers tons of value doesn\u2019t mean you have to forego something with speed and style.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Luckily, there are a few amazing sporty cars that offer tremendous value.<\/p>\n

The sports coupe is making a major comeback; here are some of the top picks you should check out for your next ride:<\/p>\n

2021 Toyota GR Supra<\/h3>\n

After a few decades off of the production line, the 2021 Toyota GR Supra<\/strong><\/a> is back on the road. This sportster has four amazing trim levels and a standard turbocharged engine. With an EPA-estimated 25\/32 mpg city\/highway and a zero-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds, the 2021 Toyota GR Supra is a car for the record books.<\/p>\n

2019 Nissan 370Z<\/h3>\n

The Nissan 370Z is exactly what you\u2019d expect from a traditional sports car. The naturally aspirated V6 engine sits right up front between the front wheels but throws its 332 ho and 270 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Drivers can pick this car up as a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic and get to choose between a two-seat convertible or coupe. If you want more capability out of this sportster, make sure to opt for the value-driven Sport trim.<\/p>\n

2019 FIAT 124 Spider<\/h3>\n

The two-door Fiat 124 Spider<\/strong><\/a> is a two-door convertible that is more than just a turbocharged (1.4-liter with 160 hp) engine buried in a sleek body. The 2019 version of this car grabbed some other updates that helps it stand out. You\u2019ll find a modern infotainment touchscreen, backup camera, and more. You can even go for a classic look by adding racing stripes. The 124 Spider may not be the most spacious vehicle for large grocery orders, but it will certainly add a little joy to your daily commute.<\/p>\n

2019 Subaru WRX<\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re looking for a sports car that is easy on your wallet, you might have to make a few sacrifices on what it can do on the road. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to the Subaru WRX. While it\u2019s not officially a coupe, no list of value-based sports cars would be complete without this honorable mention. The WRX<\/strong><\/a> offers some of the best acceleration that you\u2019ll find in a sedan. Since the modern version of this car hails from past racing cars, you are definitely in for a treat when all 268 horsepower hits the open road.<\/p>\n

2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata<\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t dream of owning a car as gorgeous as the Mazda MX-5 Miata? Not only is this dream car one of the most recognizable vehicles on the highway, but it comes at an extremely affordable price. 2019 brings an updated engine that will help you fly through town. The smaller size also helps it hit some impressive fuel efficiency numbers. Mazda also figured out to include a power up\/down top that doesn\u2019t impede on trunk space.<\/p>\n

Just because you\u2019re looking to get more value out of your next vehicle doesn\u2019t mean you have to overlook picking up a sports coupe. These vehicles offer more class and style than economy-based sedans, along with tons of power and technology. Stop by your local auto dealer to take see how good you\u2019ll look in something like a used 2021 Toyota GR Supra, 370Z, 124 Spider, WRX, or Miata today.<\/p>\n
