8/10CaterhamSeven£18,689 – £43,000Brilliant, fearsomely potent, and never less than addictive to drive.
7/10Abarth124 Spider£29,515 – £35,515A good-natured daily driver that's rare, looks sporty and offers lots to enjoy. But it's pricey
8/10Morgan3-Wheeler£31,140 – £34,000There’s no rationalising the Morgan 3-Wheeler, which is a massive part of its appeal. Take it at face value and love it.
8/10LotusElise£39,720 – £48,220If you really, truly care about driving, the Lotus Elise is about as obvious an answer as water being wet and fire being hot
9/10ArielAtom 4£39,975The Atom has grown up: still blindingly quick, but with an added measure of civility
8/10Porsche718 Cayman£44,790 – £75,348The base engines are gruff, but the handling is as sweet as ever. Very few sports cars are this complete
8/10JaguarF-Type Coupe£51,400 – £111,630The F-Type is fun to drive, sounds fantastic and looks amazing. Job done.
8/10JaguarF-Type£56,880 – £117,120Slightly sharper looks, slightly sharper chassis... but otherwise refreshingly old-school. Phew
9/10LotusExige £60,020 – £101,020The Exige is a rarity, in the fact it’s a car that’s as happy on the track as it is on the road
8/10BMWM4£66,075 – £75,375The M3 coupe's changed name and gained not only two turbos, but one of the most aggressive driving experiences on sale
8/10LotusEvora£73,000 – £93,820There are really two ways of looking at the Evora: either as a bigger, softer Lotus – kind of like Pink Floyd in the 1990s – or as the lightest, lithest GT car that money can buy
8/10Porsche718 Spyder£73,405Beautiful up top, focused below. Not quite as unique as it once was, but still a glorious item
9/10NissanGT-R£81,805 – £172,805The cheapest way into this kind of speed you can find. Awe-inspiring and a modern performance car icon to boot
7/10MaseratiGranTurismo£92,230 – £122,865The GranTurismo does exactly what you hope for; immaculately-styled bodywork and an absolutely fabulous GT.
8/10Mercedes-BenzAMG GT£96,740 – £189,235Dramatic, fast and useable, with Mercedes’ thoroughness and AMG’s sporting genes.
7/10Aston MartinVantage£120,900The Vantage remains a very desirable sportster, but it's time for a proper refresh
8/10Aston MartinDB11£147,900 – £174,995Not perfect, but the gorgeous DB11 straddles the worlds of sports cars and GTs in a deeply classy way
9/10HondaNSX£148,080Looks and drives like a supercar, but doesn't sound like one. The NSX is something wilfully, wonderfully different
8/10McLaren570S£149,000A supercar that drives beautifully, is hugely potent and has a real sense of occasion
