The world’s most recognisable sports car is still a class benchmark and available in a wide variety of body styles and trims. The rear seats are tiny, and options are pricey, but who cares when it looks this good and delivers such a sharp driving experience.

The new M2 isn't quite as elegantly styled as the old one, but its boxy new look is certainly aggressive. It gets the same engine as the bigger M3 and M4, but with a bit less power. Though with 460hp and 550Nm of torque it's not slow. It's also easier to drive quickly than the bigger cars, making it more fun on a twisty road. It's very expensive, though.

This characterful Alfa offers a great driving experience while still being practical enough for a family of four. You get decent rear passenger space and a big boot, although some interior trim could be higher quality. While the ride can be a bit hard, it’s as fun to drive as any of its alternatives.

The Taycan combines eco-friendly electric power with an engaging driving experience. A tricky combination that Porsche has mastered on its first try. It’s very comfortable and looks great but alternatives can go longer on a charge and have more space for rear seat passengers and their luggage.

The M3 looks and behaves like a family-friendly four-door saloon until you put your foot down. Then it transforms into a thrilling sports car, without losing its daily-driver practicality. That grille is divisive though, and some alternatives are a bit more comfortable.

The aging Nissan GT-R defies the competition with its searing performance capabilities thanks to regular updates. The interior is a bit dated and the rear seats are a token gesture, but it’s got useable boot and just about enough refinement for daily driving duties. Don't let the fact you can't buy one new put you off. The GT-R is still hugely desirable as a used buy.

If you can't quite stretch your budget to an M2, the latest BMW M240i is a fantastic alternative. It now comes standard with four-wheel-drive (which you can't get on the M2) and the very latest tech. The rear will accommodate adults at a push and the boot is generously sized. There’s no manual option though, which is where the M2 gets a point back.

The e-tron GT is ridiculously quick, handles well and still manages to have a comfortable ride. You pay for such competence and options will further dent your wallet. Some alternatives can go even further between charges, but that shouldn’t matter unless you travel long distances regularly.
The Mercedes-AMG SL offers cutting-edge tech and performance and handles superbly despite its size. The rear seats can technically accommodate small kids, but they’re best used as an extension to the small boot. Not many alternatives offer as much luxury and cool tech, and the SL is priced to reflect this fact.

The GT86 was a great, affordable sports car, and the GR86 has continued the winning recipe of being front-engined, rear-wheel drive and lightweight. It even has more power than before, addressing the main criticism of its predecessor. Unfortunately, Toyota didn't bring many to the UK, so you'll have to dive into the used market to find one.
