Sports City-Car Manual Reviews

Brilliant, fearsomely potent, and never less than addictive to drive.

A good-natured daily driver that's rare, looks sporty and offers lots to enjoy. But it's pricey

There’s no rationalising the Morgan 3-Wheeler, which is a massive part of its appeal. Take it at face value and love it.

If you really, truly care about driving, the Lotus Elise is about as obvious an answer as water being wet and fire being hot

The Atom has grown up: still blindingly quick, but with an added measure of civility

The base engines are gruff, but the handling is as sweet as ever. Very few sports cars are this complete

The F-Type is fun to drive, sounds fantastic and looks amazing. Job done.

Slightly sharper looks, slightly sharper chassis... but otherwise refreshingly old-school. Phew

The Exige is a rarity, in the fact it’s a car that’s as happy on the track as it is on the road

Because life is better when there’s a 7.0-litre V8 in front of you

Beautiful up top, focused below. Not quite as unique as it once was, but still a glorious item

Beautiful to look at and listen to, but still a proper challenge to drive. Forget 1,000bhp hyper-exotics – this is what loving cars is all about
