The car dorks (myself included) are constantly belly-aching about how there are “no cool manual sports cars anymore.” Look, I get it. The rate a which we are losing manual transmission cars and trucks sucks. It does. But we have several killer options right under our nose like the ever-present Miata, Nissan Z cars, and …
Historically, sports cars like some Subaru models were always something to be kept in the garage until the weekend, when you had time to really take it out for a spin and stretch its legs down some wide open roads. Nowadays, however, people don’t want to keep their favorite cars shut away in garages; they want …

For many people, sports cars lack a lot of practicality and therefor are reserved as weekend cars rather than daily drivers. It’s easier for people to spend money on comfort and tech for a car that they drive each and every day, but it’s harder for people to justify spending the extra money. There are …
There seems to be a common understanding that sports cars are fast, but in a day and age where even luxury sedans are picking up speed, it’s hard to determine what fast is among lower-priced vehicles. Some cars are surprisingly fast, and then some cars look fast and are remarkably slow. Cars like the Hyundai …
