Subaru BRZ
It’s hard to find compact sports cars at an affordable price these days. The BRZ is one of them, offering excellent value and performance for the money. Excellent handling is achieved through perfect weight distribution, while the 228-horsepower, naturally aspirated 2.4-litre Boxer engine delivers linear acceleration. When equipped with the manual gearbox, the BRZ sprints from 0-100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. On the flip side, it proves a bit noisy at high speeds.
