Are you a thrill-seeking, driving enthusiast with a love of high-powered, slick-looking sports cars?
Built for easy manoeuverability and performance at high speeds, sports cars are small, low-to-the-ground, sleek, two- or four-seaters that are fantastically fun to drive. Plus, they look cool. If you’ve ever slipped behind the wheel of one for a spirited romp, you know first-hand the joy of motoring away in a turbocharged hot rod on a sunny day.
Summer may be short in Canada, but it hasn’t squelched Canadians’ love of high-performing sports cars that ooze with personality. If you're in the market to buy a sports car, there's more to consider than the horses under the hood; there's also the cost of car insurance and gas to factor into your purchasing decision.
These cars are meant to be driven, and since you'll likely be on the road a lot, we've included how much you can anticipate spending on gas each year driving one of these mean machines.
