The BMW 2 Series delivers luxury-oriented features, all-day comfort and excellent refinement in an extra-small package. The sport-oriented versions also offer exhilarating performance that's hard for the competition to match.

The BMW 4 Series offers a satisfying balance of comfort, capability, practicality and technology, along with the rare option of a manual gearbox. But while it's hard to find faults with the 4 Series, it faces serious challenges from newer rivals.

The Corvette went mid-engine for 2020 and is the hottest new sports car on the market. Chevrolet has taken its performance icon and improved it in nearly every way. It's bonkers fast, it handles beautifully, manages traffic and daily errands well, and is still (relatively) affordable.
MSRP
$70,000 - $218,100
Combined MPG

The BMW M2 is one of the brand's best performance cars. It feels energetic when you're driving it and gives you a sense of real connection to the road. The M2 isn't perfect, but for the performance on offer — and the fact that it's just plain fun — we don't mind its minor flaws.
MSRP
$68,200
Combined MPG

Edmunds Rating

The BMW M4 is an impressive performance coupe. It's got plenty of grip and the turbocharged six-cylinder is strong. The M4 is also a surprisingly comfortable, spacious and practical. But the lack of steering feel is a significant drawback to driver enjoyment.
MSRP
$82,200 - $91,500
Combined MPG
18 - 19

Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
The Porsche 911 is the product of relentless evolution. Its rear engine placement is unique in the motoring world, and its instantly recognizable styling is complemented by outstanding driving dynamics. The 911 remains a benchmark among sports cars.
MSRP
$120,100 - $261,100
Combined MPG
16 - 21
5th
Edmunds Rating
7.2/10
The BMW 8 Series is remarkable for its ability to deliver performance and comfort in abundance. Its interior is modern, elegant and packed with tech, and there's more trunk space than its sleek exterior suggests. Choosing between this and the venerable Porsche 911 will be a tough decision.
MSRP
$94,500 - $110,500
Combined MPG
19 - 24
6th
Edmunds Rating
7.0/10
The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is certainly the most technologically interesting Corvette ever. Its electric motor powers the front wheels, giving the car all-wheel drive. The E-Ray is extremely quick in a straight line. But the electric motor and its battery pack add weight that compromises the steering feel and ultimate handling performance of the E-Ray. The elevated price tag is also a concern.
MSRP
$108,600 - $126,550
Combined MPG

The Toyota Supra is back, much to the delight of sports car fans. It offers comparable performance to a Porsche Cayman, but at a considerably lower price. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's worth considering if you're in the market for a fast and fun coupe.
MSRP
$58,300 - $69,350
Combined MPG
21 - 25
8th
Edmunds Rating
5.6/10
This Nissan Z is more modern and more comfortable than the previous model, and will likely appeal to a wider audience. Unfortunately, it still lacks the speed, precision and driver engagement that we think discerning drivers will expect.
MSRP
$42,970 - $65,750
Combined MPG
19 - 22
9th
Edmunds Rating
5.5/10
Going on looks alone, the Lexus LC is a home run. Wide and low, its concept car styling and still turns heads even long after it was first introduced. The LC's performance is no match for any of its closest rivals but its well finished interior and relative value could be enough to attract buyers who would rather have the look of all-out performance rather than the performance itself.
MSRP
$101,850
Combined MPG
18

Best Exotic coupes

Exotic coupes are ultra-luxury machines for those who would rather drive than be driven. Premium quality, exclusivity and craftsmanship define these cars.

Edmunds Rating
8.2/10
The Bentley Continental is an incredible grand-touring car. Its style and presence alone give it plenty of appeal, and that's before you get behind the wheel and unleash its 771 hp. It combines supercar speed with ultimate luxury and comfort. The only problem is deciding if you'd rather have one of these or a house.
MSRP
$302,100 - $326,800

Edmunds Rating

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S E Performance has enough power to intimidate supercars, and it combines that with grippy handling and a well-built interior. This may read like this car is a grand tourer, but it has a sports car's heart. We even think it's a decent value despite its high price.
MSRP
$200,500 - $202,200
Combined MPG

Edmunds Rating

The second-gen AMG GT coupe is a much more modern car than the car it replaced. It still packs a sleek design and a powerful turbocharged V8 engine, but all-wheel drive and optional rear seats are new to the feature list. The AMG GT coupe is spacious, offers a surprising amount of cargo area and packs some impressive in-car tech. While it's still plenty quick, we think it lost a bit of its verve because of the increased size and weight. This isn't the sharpest sports car on the road, but the AMG GT coupe makes up for it in just about every other area.
MSRP
$101,100 - $198,950
Combined MPG
14 - 22
3rd
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Z06 makes the most of the C8 Corvette's mid-engine platform. It offers superlative acceleration and a spine-tingling engine howl for a fraction of the price of an Italian exotic. Handling is also on par with any fancy import from Europe.
MSRP
$117,700 - $138,250
Combined MPG

The M8 Competition is BMW's tour de force. It shows that BMW still has what it takes to make a beast of a performance car but one with satisfying comfort and luxury.
MSRP

Even with a hybrid powertrain, the GTS represents a sweet spot in the 911's lineup. It's quick and fun but not so powerful that you have to hold back on the street. There are cars with more luxurious interiors, but its handling performance is nearly unparalleled by any car at any price.
MSRP
$164,900 - $186,000
Combined MPG
19 - 20

The Aston Martin Vantage benefits greatly from its latest update. The additional power, improved technology features and revised interior are all welcome improvements. There are less expensive ways to go fast but few that are as nice to drive every single day.
MSRP
$191,000
Combined MPG

Although it's difficult to get in and out of, it doesn't have much room to store anything, and its tech interface isn't a model of usability, the Revuelto is the ultimate hypercar. The way it looks, the way it sounds, and its mind-bending speed make driving the Revuelto a transcendent experience.
