USED PERFORMANCE CARS · $4.5k–$42k · 34 REVIEWED

We did the research. Here's what's worth buying.

THE SEVEN CATEGORIES · 10 POINTS EACH
Deal
What it costs to get in, and what it gives back when you sell.
Drive
How it feels on a good road. Scored on feel, not the stopwatch.
Upkeep
Fuel, tires, insurance, service. What it costs every month.
Risk
What can break, how likely it is, and what the bill looks like.
Daily
Could this be the only car you own?
Limit
How it behaves when you push it. Autocross and track days.
Mods
What a build costs, how far it goes, and what it costs you back.
What each category means, and every assumption behind it →
