Cheap Sporty Fuel Efficient cars

Cheap Sporty Fuel Efficient Cars

Wait.... What? Fuel efficient cars can be sporty? No.... Sporty cars can be fuel efficient? THEY CAN BE INEXPENSIVE? It is a common belief that Sportiness,  and good mpg's don't mix. And, that if you want to have a fuel efficient sporty car, they don't come cheap. This post will hopefully change the view of all the skeptics out there. Though at first the words 'sporty' and 'fuel efficient' might contradict each other, at the end of this post you will see that this is not necessarily true.

 

Honda CR-Z

One of the most popular fuel efficient sporty cars in the market today, it really surpasses the sportiness of any hybrid and even the Lexus CT200h. In fact, it might be the only hybrid with a manual gearbox. This car can also go up to 124 mph while your friend's Prius can do only 112 mph. And yet with a top speed of 124 mph and a manual gearbox, you can still do around 36 mpg. Furthermore, it only costs $20,000! That's less than both the CT200h and the Prius!

 

Lotus Elise (2011)

This is probably the best example of 'a fuel efficient sports car'. Indeed, its top speed is 127 miles per hour. Also, its goes 0-60 in 6 seconds. Though these specs might seem relatively slow and expensive compared to a mustang, remember, it has nearly twice the fuel economy. The price for an Elise, at $47,000, is pretty steep. However, you can buy a used Elise for much less than that. And, whenever you buy one, remember, the fuel efficiency also saves you money.

 

Mazda Miata

If you search ANY KIND of Mazda Miata car review, there are going to be three words coming from the reviewer's mouth: "This is fun!" Many believe it is one of the most fun cars on the market. And, with this "fun", it costs $22,000 and does around 28 mpg. Sure, it might not win too many races, but hey, cars are made for driving, and the Miata was made for it, too.

 

Scion Fr-s/ Subaru BRZ

Like the Miata, this is classified as a fun car. As a fun car, you also get two more seats (not that any adult could use them, anyway...). You also have the ability to choose between an automatic and a manual gearbox, unlike the Miata. The Scion Fr-s is the fastest of the fuel efficient cars, being able to go up to around 140 mph. Yet, this car still gets around 30 mpg. The scion f- s costs as much as a Hyundai genesis coupe,  Ford mustang, or Chevrolet Camaro at around $25,000.

 

Conclusion.

 As a result, you can see that there are many sporty cars that you don't have to pay incredible amounts of money on the cost or on the gas price. In fact, I tried not to put too many cars in this post to keep it short (there are TOO MANY sporty, fuel efficient, reasonably priced cars). So, reconsider your options if you want a sporty car but work around the city.
