Best sportscars

Which sportscars offer the best driving experience, and deliver the biggest adrenaline hit, our survey reveals all.

1. Audi TT/ Roadster
2. Subaru Impreza MkII
3. Mazda MX-5

“My current car has joined my list of all time great cars I’ve owned. The TT does everything really well and has excellent comfort, performance and economy, as well as good styling.” Mr Ian Blanch, Alvechurch, Worcestershire.

Only four sporting models make it into the Top 100 this year – and the winner by some margin is the latest Audi TT. Limited practicality clearly hasn’t taken the shine off the ownership experience.

Second place goes to Subaru’s Impreza; the enduring legend still gives drivers a big adrenaline hit, which helps to justify its eye-watering running costs. Next comes Mazda’s MX-5. While a mid-table finish in the Top 100 isn’t great, the roadster never fails to raise a smile. With this class so poorly represented in Driver Power 2010, the Hyundai Coupé grabs the next place.
