Reasonably priced sports cars are rare these days. The Subaru BRZ and its twin, the Scion FR-S, both start at just over $25,000 and offer an engaging drive. Like the Miata, they are lightweight (around 2800 pounds) and rear-wheel drive. These twins pack 200-hp four-cylinder engines and come standard with a six-speed manual (automatic is optional).Of course, the engineers were tempted to design a heavier and more expensive twin-clutch, paddle-shift transmission instead of a manual. But we're sure glad they didn't. Subaru wanted to provide the same level of driving involvement as a Porsche Cayman, and after logging hours on canyon roads in a BRZ, we can confidently say this is one enjoyable ride.
