Does it ever feel like there’s no place in your life for sports cars? While the ever practical minivan, crossover, or SUV are the more common go-to for families, there are still those of us who genuinely love to drive. After a day in a Honda Odyssey, Toyota RAV4, or Chevy Suburban full of lovable but loud littles, it’s easy to see how a (often two-seater!) get away car designed simply to bring its drivers joy carries a certain level of appeal.

2. Lexus LC 500
The Lexus LC 500 is undoubtedly a head-turner. Imagine impressing your neighbors when they see it parked in your driveway. Reviewer Jill Robbins often felt underdressed while running errands in this upscale sports car. The Lexus LC 500 boasts luxury features from end to end, including a buttery-soft leather interior and a sleek, stylish exterior. Whether you yearn for a throaty V8 or a practical(ish) hybrid, this Lexus sports car model has you covered.
The Lexus LC 500 Has a Secret Inside
The Lexus LC 500 interior is roomier than most other sports car options. The back seat is big enough for a couple more passengers. It’s even car seat compatible – truly a luxury touring sports car for the whole family.
Tall Passengers May Want to Stay Up Front
Tall rear passengers are best served with the top being down. As you can see above, the Lexus LC 500 wasn’t designed with back seat space at the forefront. Still, this sports car does offer the best of both worlds.

3. Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray stands out with its exotic appearance, impressive power, and competitive entry price of approximately $64,000, making it an excellent option for a sports car. It’s equally appealing to both newcomers to high-performance driving and seasoned drivers. The Corvette’s adaptability is largely attributed to its selectable drive modes, which let the driver control the car’s level of aggression and responsiveness.
Corvette Stingray Ups the Ante
The 2024 Corvette Stingray is mostly the same, but some new perks do up the ante. For example, a loaded list of standard safety features, Performance Data Recorder, and a bit more fuel efficiency for highway driving are all updates for this sports car. But rest assured that if you decide to save a couple bucks on the 2023 ‘Vette it has the same potent powertrain that delivers an exhilarating 2.9 second 0-60 time.
C8 Corvette Stingray Interior Makes You Feel One With The Road
The Corvette Stingray can run with or without the roof on. The panel is easy to remove, according to Girls Guide, Sara Lacey, who was able to remove the panel on her own without any issues. The interior exudes premium American performance, all while maintaining that raw edge that keeps drivers connected to the road in a sports car like the C8 Corvette Stingray.
4. Porsche Taycan – An Electric Option That Stands Out
Pictured here is the 2024 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. It’s no two-seater tiny – this baby packs some serious electric heat in a package big enough to haul both halves of the double date to dinner.
A Tale of Two Porsche Taycans: Which of These Luxury Electric Performance Cars Will Win My Heart?
The Porsche Taycan Interior Is Exactly What You’d Expect
Porsche introduced its electric concept car in 2015, and now the Taycan has arrived to leave you breathless. You can drive this car guilt-free; with the ability to charge 60 miles in just 5 minutes, you’ll be ready for your morning commute before finishing your coffee. Starting at $153,000, the only guilt you’ll feel might be seeing the impact on your bank account. Otherwise, you’ll be contributing to saving the planet while maintaining a sleek, edgy look in this sexy sports car.
5. Toyota Supra – Simple, Sleek and Satisfying
The iconic Toyota Supra has finally returned to the brand’s lineup, much to the excitement of fans. The excitement only grew when Toyota introduced a manual version. What makes enthusiasts so thrilled? It’s not just the exceptional driving experience that the GR Supra (GR stands for Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s performance partner) provides, but also the mechanicals co-engineered with BMW.
The Toyota Supra Interior Is Just Right for You and Your Favorite Bag
The manual transmission, as writer Annika Carter discovered, is a standout feature. “We are talking about a great manual transmission. Available on the 3.0L, 3.0L Premium, and the special edition A91 models, this is not a transmission pulled out of another car and slapped into the Supra. This transmission was designed and tuned specifically for the car, and in turn, the car was adapted to the transmission.” With a base sticker price of about $44,000, the Supra defines sporty luxury at a reasonable price.
6. Nissan Z
After experiencing some insane hot laps in the 2024 Nissan Z at the Circuit of the Americas GT4 Race, I personally approve this sports car as comfortable and track worthy. This is a performance model that will undoubtedly unlock your inner racer driver as you whip around curvy roads.
The Nissan Z Interior
This sporty little car may look familiar because it’s a striking redesign of Nissan’s iconic Z series. The new model blends classic heritage details with modern design elements throughout. Praised as a finalist for the World Performance Car of the Year, the Nissan Z honors the original Z features. Once you get behind the wheel—whether in automatic or manual—you’ll understand why drivers love it: it’s incredibly fun to drive. Critics and fans alike appreciate its impressive performance and accessible pricing, from $40,000 to around $50,000.
7. Lamborghini Huracan
Talk about a joy ride. The Lamborghini Huracan is loud, bumpy, and requires clever storage solutions. You’ll need serious shoes, focus, and a learning curve—it’s unlike any car you’ve ever driven, and it’s glorious. I wasn’t alone in my admiration; people in Santa Monica waved and smiled, a fellow Lamborghini driver chatted on Rodeo Drive, and kids asked for photos. This car is that special. Yes, the attention and joy it brings come at nearly $300,000, but if that’s within your reach, it’s worth every penny for the miles of smiles.
The Interior Is Ultra Sporty – Buckle Up Your Bag!
With such stiff, sporty suspension, it’s easy to lose items set loosely in the Huracan interior. This car is truly designed for driving from the inside out.

Want a Sporty Electric Car? Try the Kia EV6 GT
The Kia EV6 GT caught us off guard in a track test. Its remarkable silence belies the power, speed, and rapid acceleration it delivers. And then there’s Boost mode. Yes, you’ll want that helmet.
Kia EV6 GT Interior Is Classy and Comfortable
The interior of the Kia EV6 GT model is modern and appealing. It checks all the right boxes for anyone who wants a sporty electric vehicle that’s big enough for the whole family to accomplish daily driving, but still a heck of a good time to drive.
You Don’t Have to Commit to Have Fun Driving a Sports Car
You can take many sports cars for a spin on a test track, as numerous tracks across the country have designated days for this purpose. Look for facilities near you, such as the Island Motorsport Circuit in Vancouver, BC. Alternatively, you can schedule a session at the Porsche Experience Center in California or Atlanta. The BMW Performance Center also offers tracks in California and South Carolina, providing a great opportunity to try out their sporty sedans, coupes, and MINI Coopers on the track.
