    Sports Cars

    There's nothing quite like the allure of a sports car. Be it cruising through the Swiss Alps or hustling down a tight and curvy British B-road, a sports car can bring style and finesse to your driving like no other. By definition, a sports car is any rear-wheel-drive vehicle designed primarily as a fun car with a light chassis, prioritising traits such as agility, grip, acceleration, and body control over boot space, cabin room and other creature comforts. Sports cars compromise on a lot, but more than makes up for it the moment you start driving. The driving experience is what makes them special, and their ultimate power is the ability to induce a smile on your face even on your worst days.

    Sports Car buying guide

    Some sports cars are very expensive, not just to buy but to run, insure and repair especially if you are looking at a premium marque. So, your budget will be a key consideration. Exotic models that are being offered at a low price are likely to have a high mileage and will need to be carefully checked - make sure the car has a full-service history and use the AA Cars free history check. The last thing you want is your dream car to turn into a nightmare of repairs.

    If this is your first sports car, you'll find it to be very different to your average car. Pay special attention to things like driving position, visibility, and boot space. Although these may sound like minor points, they can be far removed from what you're normally used to. For example, some hard-top convertibles use a lot of space to accommodate the folded roof – eating up valuable boot space.

    Performance is key - if not the main aspect - to anyone buying a used sports car. But there are specific things that you should consider. Do you prefer raw power at the expense of everything else? Or is handling or a low inertia feel more important? Another important criterion is weight. Lighter cars will be more engaging to drive with a better power to weight ratio.

    Most sports cars are rear wheel drive - which offers sharp steering and handling, demanding a slightly different driving style, especially on slippery surfaces. If you want the positive and safer drive but not the over-steer nature of a rear wheel drive, look for a front wheel drive, or even an all-wheel drive vehicle. Similarly, stability control systems (ESC) and traction control are crucial for safety, unless you like your sports cars to be unhinged.

    Whatever your requirements be, there are sports cars to suit all budgets. With a bit of searching and an eye for a deal you will be certain to find your dream sports car or a weekend toy.

    • Why buy a sports car?

      Owning a sports car may be a luxury, but it is also one of life's more exciting pleasures. Their purpose is to be exhilarating, dynamic and stylish lords of the road but many offer practicality too. A sports car is normally a once or twice in a lifetime purchase and so you will need to consider exactly what it is that you want. Do you want maximum power, or are you looking for style? Do you need enough room for a suitcase or two or is that not an issue? There are options for all.

      There's more than just power to the sports car market. The Audi TT remains one of the best looking cars on the road as well as being one of the most enjoyable to drive. Mercedes and BMW continue to manufacture excellent and exciting sports cars that not only burn rubber but also offer class, sophistication and comfort. Of course, at the other end of the spectrum are the Porsches, Maseratis and Ferraris of the world oozing style, power and status.

      Thanks to a number of manufacturers offering sport variations alongside their standard models, there is a wide choice of affordable sports cars. Options like the Honda CR-Z and Mazda MX-5 offer maximum fun and excitement for minimum cost. Buying a used sports car is a further step towards ensuring an excellent price.

      Buying a second hand sports car is an excellent way of finding a bargain, but also of getting your hands on those hard to come-by, one-of-a-kind cars. Which is, after all, what a sports car should be.

    • Which sports car should I buy?

      Once you've made the decision to buy a sports car there are a number of factors you can consider to help shrink your options. A starting point is whether you want a coupe or convertible. Convertibles are excellent when the sun is out, but think about where you will be using it - if it's sunny one day every six months, is it worth the expense? Convertibles aren't as secure as their fixed-roofed siblings and generally cost a little more to insure. So it's best if you can put it in your garage if you do go for the top-down experience.

      Sports cars are among the most stylish on the roads. But consider that a used sports car for sale today may not be 'in fashion' if and when you decide to sell it. Sports cars do hold their value well, which means that buying on the used market may not get you as big a discount as with some other models. When it comes to resale however, you you're less likely to suffer large depreciation.

    • What is a sportscar?

      A sportscar is a type of vehicle that is built to have fun. A sportscar will offer better performance, handling and styling than a conventional car as it features lightweight construction and a powerful engine to improve driver engagement.

    • When was the first sportscar invented?

      The sportscar body style was invented in 1914 with the Vauxhall 25hp Prince Henry Sports Torpedo. There are also some early Mercedes-Benz models that were built on the same philosophy - 1903 Mercedes Simplex 60hp and 1901 Mercedes 35hp.

    • How fast can a sportscar go?

      The speed of a sportscar depends on the model in question. For instance, the popular little Mazda MX5 in its latest iteration can reach speeds of up to 139 mph. Meanwhile, more expensive and faster sportscars can reach or breach 150 mph.

    • How much does a sportscar cost?

      A used sportscar can be bought for as little as £2000 pounds. The reliable and popular MX-5 leads the way with four generations to choose from for all budgets. Other popular sportscars in the used market are the Toyota GT86/GR86, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Lotus Elise, Alpine A110, etc.
