Best One: Lexus LC
Saying that the Lexus LC coupe is gorgeous, that is, frankly, doing a great word service to the word, and making it look quite inadequate. The LC is so beautiful that we feel that it should be kept not in a garage, but in a very subtly and carefully lit art gallery. No flash photography, please. You will soften the painting. What's nice, is that once you've stopped considering the LC as the work of art, it turns out that it's a good thing to be a car. it's a real GT, with a cabin that has lugs, but is itself as beautiful as the outside, and you have the choice between a hybrid compatible with polar bears or the last of the engines V8 petrol with natural suction. This V8 makes noises that make funny things to our adrenal glands, and it's not slow, but the smart hybrid is barely slower, has less thirst, and has the best iteration of the transmission Lexus CVT. At the top of which, it's fun. It's too heavy to be precise about Porsche, but it's grabbing, turning and going in an extremely satisfying way. Perfect for a quick walk to the Alps and back, before returning to the art gallery …

Worthy Contenders
Mazda MX-5
The MX-5 continues his reign as the great affordable sports car. It may have been inspired by a MGB and a Lotus Elan, but it has long surpbaded the achievements of these, not only in terms of sales, but in terms of running a car. The beauty of an MX-5, from these 1990 originals, was that it was small, light, fun and agile, but still a Mazda, which meant that it was practical ( in two places) and reliable. The more it changes, then, because it's exactly the recipe for the current model. It is still incredibly good to drive (and you need nothing else than the basic 1.5 engine) and still practical enough and steadily built to be used every day. The RF version, with its folding hard top, looks cool but the simpler soft top captures the mind better. (The Fiat 124 Spider, very close, is slightly badier and has a turbo engine for better response at low speed)
Best model: 1.5 Roadster GT for 29,995 € Price range: € 27,995 to 36,695 €. Finance from 267 € per month. CO2 emissions: 139 to 161g / km Summary: € 267 per month for one of the best sports cars you can drive. Why do not you drive a car now?
Toyota GT86
Aging is perhaps now (but slightly updated), but the Toyota GT86 remains one of the most conducive cars to driving. It works lightly, under an innocuous style and an interior that uses almost the dark plastics of the 1990s, but Toyota (with the help of Subaru) has worked hard to ensure that the fundamentals of the GT are correct, and it shows . It is relatively light, it has just enough (not too much) power of its 2.0-liter flatbed four-cylinder engine, and it has a steering so strong that it is advisable to wear thick gloves in driving. Add all this to deliberately lean tires and you have a sports car that does not require law to enjoy, in addition to (pretty much) the rear seats and backing up Toyota's reputation for reliability. All the combo.
Best model: GT86 luxury manual for 45 925 € Price range: 45 255 € to 45 925 €. Finance from 448 € per month. Co2 emissions: 183 to 196g / km Summary: Great fun at low speed
BMW M2
It's not long for this world, the BMW M2, and there is already an improved version "competition" with more power and a suspension adjusted. Even so, you honestly do not need to look beyond the standard version of 365 hp, because this smaller M-cars is also arguably the best sharp, agile handling. Relatively compact size, six-cylinder Snarling engine. Reasonable levels of day-to-day practicality. It's really very fun to ride on a good road, and we will not be too surprised by a track day. It is, in fact, much more fun and enjoyable than the M3 and M4, bigger and more expensive. An Audi RS3 is faster and worth much better, mind.
Best model: M2 DSG for € 80,080 Price range: € 80,080 to € POA. Finance from € POA per month. CO2 emissions : 185 to 199g / km Summary: Munich performance at its best
Wild Card: Ford Mustang
The Mustang, just updated for 2018 and revived in the Irish market soon, is currently the best-selling sports car in Europe. An all-American coupe-shooter, a muscle car, succeeding the greats like Porsche and Jaguar when it comes to sales. Deserved? Well, somehow. There are two Mustangs, really, driving a convertible, especially with the big V8, heavy, noisy (wonderfully noisy …) so that's a bit silly. Fast in a straight line but floppy and capricious in the corners. Opt for the Fastback coupe (more beautiful), with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine with four pots and … it is transformed. Sharper, more agile, more rewarding, just faster across the country. Is a V8 Fastback the perfect combo, then? Maybe, but EcoBoost is better by far than you think. The cabin is too cheap, but you'll feel like the hero of your own movie, whatever. Steve McQueen-livery "Bullit & # 39; version coming later this year …
Best model: Wait for the Bullit for € POA Price range: € 55,500 to € 82,500. Finance from € POA per month. CO2 emissions: 179 to 306g / km Summary: Just give us 24hrs to break the deal …
I ncoming: BMW Z4, Alpine A110, Ford Mustang Bullit, EV3 Morgan, Toyota Supra, Audi RS5 Sportback
