Sporty cars are designed to provide better handling, acceleration, and a more responsive driving experience than a typical sedan. But, even within this select group of cars, performance as well as price can vary. Consumer Reports provided road- test scores and prices for the following 10 sporty cars. Prices are in thousands of dollars and road- test scores are based on a 0- 100 rating scale, with higher values indicating better performance.
Car Price ($1,000s) Road Test Score
Chevy Cobalt 24.5 78
Dodge Calber 24.9 56
Ford Mustang 29 73
Honda Civic 21.7 78
Mazda 31.3 86
Mini Cooper 26.4 74
Mitsubishi Lancer 38.1 83
Nissan Sentra 23.3 66
Subaru WRX 25.2 81
Subaru WRX (STI) 37.6 89
