This means there are typically compromises with a low floor and roof impacting access, taut suspensions, snug bucket seats, limited passenger space, scant room for cargo, a noisy cabin, and a requirement to use pricy premium gas.

Some sports cars come with summer tires by default. These will not provide adequate grip as temperatures approach freezing. Often the cars can be ordered with all-season tires that may be more appropriate. To enhance grip, sports cars are commonly fitted with ultra-high-performance tires that are bo...

Some sports cars come with summer tires by default. These will not provide adequate grip as temperatures approach freezing. Often the cars can be ordered with all-season tires that may be more appropriate. To enhance grip, sports cars are commonly fitted with ultra-high-performance tires that are both expensive and short lived, especially if the car is driven hard.

Insurance tends to be higher on sports cars if they are driven daily, most especially for younger drivers. An older driver, with a clean driving record, that plans to drive the sports car seasonally and/or on weekends may find insurance is not a significant cost.

There are limited models that offer a choice between coupe or convertible, but it can be a fun decision to consider. Driving with the wind in your hair on a warm day is a treat. But convertibles cost more, due to the complexity of the roof. Think about how it will be driven most days. Convertibles often are noisier, have reduced outward visibility, and less cargo space.

Cloth tops are less expensive. Most have multiple layers to insulate the cabin from noise and weather, but they do feel more exposed than a hard-top, which mimics a coupe when the top is up. Cloth can fade, wear, and even tear over time. However, hard-tops are complicated and can have their own reli...
