The front end of the SE features a honeycomb grille reminiscent of the Toyota Avalon, while the LE and XLE trims have a wider fascia. However, there are significant differences in performance and safety features that go beyond a simple preference for body kits. While all trims have improved fuel efficiency and nimbler handling than previous generations, the TRD stands alone as the sportiest variant due to its DOHC V6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission as well as its built-in blind-spot monitoring and heated mirrors.

The CX-30 shares a vague resemblance with the Mazda 3 Sportback because of its car-like silhouette that abandons the bulkier build of its larger brother, the CX-5. The angled headlights and honeycomb grille on the front end easily make the CX-30 one of the nicest-looking SUVs in its price range. Under the hood, the CX-30 comes equipped with a turbocharged engine, which performs well at high speeds. You&rsquo;ll have no issues making sharp turns or going up to 60 mph with this SUV. This is a prime example of a car that looks more expensive than it actually is.For the family man with a penchant for precise steering and comfort, there&rsquo;s simply no other choice.

The first BRZ had a sharp driving feel that complemented its lightweight body. The 2022 model brings a renewed focus on performance with its 2.4-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that supplies 23 additional horsepower and 28 lb-ft of torque. The 4-flat engine layout creates a lower center of gravity for the vehicle, giving you better precision on the road. The 2022 Subaru BRZ proves that you don&rsquo;t need to stretch your budget to experience the power of a quality sports coupe.

The GTI improves the standard Golf model with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

The Sentra is the more affordable of the two, but it&rsquo;s not far behind its full-sized counterpart. Driving feels responsive and smooth. It might not accelerate at higher speeds as well as other compact sedans, but it&rsquo;s a decent compromise for the sportier edge. The 2021 Nissan Sentra also comes with a built-in smartphone integrated system, which may come in handy for those undeniable bouts of carpool karaoke.

However, there&rsquo;s a caveat to the lower price range. The 2021 Audi Q3 has a slower acceleration compared to other subcompact SUVs in its class. But if you aren&rsquo;t concerned about horsepower, there&rsquo;s a lot to love about the Audi Q3. Just like any other vehicle, you can prolong the health of your 2021 Audi Q3 by replacing its components when they get damaged.

The new X1 has all the features you&rsquo;ve come to expect from an SUV of its class: voice control, wireless Apple Carplay, and navigation system. However, you won&rsquo;t get a full sense of its quality until you take it out for a spin. The 2021 model stays true to BMW&rsquo;s eternal slogan &ldquo;Ultimate Driving Machine&rdquo; with its superb steering and responsive brakes. You can navigate curves with ease and confidence, as if you were driving a hatchback instead of an SUV.

Many agree that the Touring L model provides the best comfort out of the three available trims. Its plush interiors look best with the Comfort Group package. The 300 also comes with an optional V8 muscle, but we only recommend it for the 300S model because of its sturdy suspension.

You get the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata, a lightweight sports car with a competitively fast engine. The Miata is renowned for its light weight, reliability, and style. It&rsquo;s one of the most engaging and fuel-efficient rides in its class. The reworked engine provides more power and torque, so you can lean into the experience. With some improvements on the suspension and exhaust, your Miata can be the best-sounding and best-driving machine in your garage.

This gorgeous, lightweight convertible began as a joint venture between Mazda and the struggling Italian brand. The Fiat 124 Spider was created alongside the Mazda Miata, which would explain why the two have similar parts. However, the Spider has some major differences from the Japanese roadster it&rsquo;s based on. The longer body harkens back to Fiat&rsquo;s 1960s and 1970s lineup with a few modern touches. The Miata also uses a different engine, transmission, and suspension tuning than the Miata, and performs well on winding roads.
