Getting a car that can accelerate to 60 miles an hour from a standstill in under five seconds is an expensive ambition. Most new cars capable of this feat come with fairly hefty price tags. If you are willing to by something used, however, it becomes a much more affordable goal.

The used market is great if you’re looking to get a great performance car on a discount. As performance cars are generally driven harder, you have to be more careful and aware when shopping. If you get things right, though, you can get a practically new sports car for less than the price of the average new car.

Scouring the used market, we’ve found ten cars that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds. These cars aren’t too old, so they should be able to offer plenty of usable life. We outline how much they cost and just how well they perform, from their impressive powertrains to their lively handling.

In order to give you the most up-to-date and accurate information possible, the data used to compile this article was sourced from various manufacturer websites and other authoritative sources, including TopSpeed. All used prices were sourced from Edmunds. This model focuses on cars, excluding crossovers and SUVs.

10 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD

Average Used Price: $24,449 / 0-60 MPH: 4.1 Seconds

Tesla

The Model 3 is one of the most influential cars ever built, blazing a trail for electric vehicles. Part of its main appeal was that it was incredibly quick for something that was supposed to be a comfortable, everyday sedan. They have depreciated madly, though, and a used model can be picked up for a fraction of what they cost new.

Performance Specifications

Powertrain 2x Electric Motors Transmission 1 Speed Automatic Horsepower 425 HP Torque 475 LB-FT Driveline AWD 0-60 MPH 4.1 Seconds Top Speed 145 MPH

The instant torque available in an electric vehicle can not be underestimated. Put your foot down, and you’ll find you approach 60 miles an hour before you even realize how fast you’re going. When new, it could provide up to 353 miles on a single charge, but it may have lost some battery life since.

9 2020 Dodge Charger R/T

Average Used Price: $27,881 / 0-60MPH: 4.5 Seconds

Dodge

The old Dodge Charger is by no means the perfect car. It was overweight, featured a cheaply made interior, and didn’t come with an all-wheel drive option on top trims. However, now that it’s gone, we miss it dearly. The Hemi V-8 offered in the R/T is something we especially pine after. There are rumors that the new Charger will bring it back, though.

Performance Specifications

Engine 5.7-Liter Naturally Aspirated V-8 Transmission 8-Speed Automatic Horsepower 370 HP Torque 395 LB-FT Driveline RWD 0-60 MPH 4.5 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

The drama produced by the V-8 under the hood of the R/T is what made it such an attractive option, even when it fell behind in other areas. It is a ton of fun to throw around corners, eagerly throwing the back out, and it will leave a ton of other sporty sedans in its smoke at a traffic light.

8 2020 Mercedes-AMG CLA35

Average Used Price: $29,967 / 0-60MPH: 4.6 Seconds

Mercedes-AMG

For the 2020 model year, the CLA entered a new generation, with the AMG-tuned models following suit. While the CLA35 is not as powerful as the top CLA45 model, it still offers an incredible driving experience and an interior that is more than worthy of the three-pointed star badge.

Performance Specifications

Engine 2.0-Liter Turbocharged Inline-Four Transmission 7-Speed Auto-Shift Manual Horsepower 302 HP Torque 295 LB-FT Driveline AWD 0-60 MPH 4.6 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

The CLA35 may be one of the more affordable ways to get behind the wheel of an AMG-tuned Mercedes, but it still features some impressive performance and technology. This includes the standard 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system, which is capable of sending all power to the rear-wheels.

7 2020 BMW M240i

Average Used Price: $32,584 / 0-60 MPH: 4.3 Seconds

BMW

If you’re looking for a BMW that puts spirited and rewarding driving above all else, the 2-Series is the way to go in our opinion. It has a brilliantly tuned chassis, ready to take on corners with enthusiasm. It also has one of the best silhouettes of any modern BMW, and a plethora of luxurious amenities.

Performance Specifications

Engine 3.0-Liter Turbocharged Inline-Six Transmission 8-Speed Automatic or 6-Speed Manual Horsepower 335 HP Torque 369 LB-FT Driveline RWD or AWD 0-60 MPH 4.3 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

While the standard 220i is pretty engaging, delivering power from 248-horsepower inline-four quickly and smoothly, the inline-six in the M240i is too hard to resist. It is insanely fast off the line and delivers a sonorous orchestra from its exhaust while doing so. It also comes with an adaptive suspension system.

6 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Average Used Price: $35,925 / 0-60 MPH: 3.9 Seconds

Chevrolet

For the 2019 model year, the Camaro received a mid-cycle refresh, making it look more aggressive and attractive. Now that the future of the Camaro nameplate is shaky at best, picking up a used model could be seen as somewhat of an investment. Prices for used models have already begun to go up.

Performance Specifications

Engine 6.2-Liter Naturally Aspirated V-8 Transmission 6-Speed Manual Horsepower 455 HP Torque 455 LB-FT Driveline RWD 0-60 MPH 3.9 Seconds Top Speed 165 MPH

Chevrolet’s small block V-8 is iconic, producing a raucous amount of power in the 2019 Camaro SS. Combine its absurd levels of acceleration with the terrifying sound coming from the optional dual-mode exhaust, and you have a beast that very few cars on the road can mess with, even by today’s standards.

5 2022 Volkswagen Golf R

Average Used Price: $38,206 / 0-60 MPH: 4.1 Seconds

Volkswagen

Hot hatchbacks are a slowly dying breed, particularly in North America. However, one automaker who refuses to give up on the segment is Volkswagen, with the Golf R being the crown jewel when it comes to their performance models. It really is joyous driving at its best.

Performance Specifications

Engine 2.0-Liter Turbocharged Inline-Four Transmission 6-Speed Manual or 7-Speed DCT Horsepower 315 HP Torque 280 LB-FT Driveline AWD 0-60 MPH 4.1 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

While sometimes hot hatchbacks feel a little bit muted compared to sports coupes or sports sedans, the Golf R shatters this assumption. Equipped with a fast-shifting automatic transmission, it is faster than just about anything else at this price point. The manual still gets to 60 in 4.9 seconds, though, and is infinitely more fun.

4 2019 Ford Mustang GT

Average Used Price: $38,428 / 0-60 MPH: 4.3 Seconds

Ford

The Mustang is about as American as a car gets. It features sleek styling and an incredibly aggressive stance, ready to take on whatever may challenge it. The 2019 model is surprisingly comfortable and still manages to offer plenty of amenities, especially if you go with the GT.

Performance Specifications

Engine 5.0-Liter Naturally Aspirated V-8 Transmission 10-Speed Automatic or 6-Speed Manual Horsepower 460 HP Torque 420 LB-FT Driveline RWD 0-60 MPH 4.3 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

The main change that Ford made to the Mustang for the 2019 model year was to give their V-8 more power in the GT. It comes fitted with either a quick-shifting 10-speed or a more engaging manual transmission, with the difference in acceleration being pretty small. Either way, it handles impressively well for a coupe this heavy.

3 2021 Audi S4

Average Used Price: $38,477 / 0-60 MPH: 4.2 Seconds

Audi

Audi updated the A4 sedan for the 2020 model year, and the S4 received similar changes. Outside, almost every element of the sporty sedan was changed, with a 10.1-inch infotainment display being added on the inside as well. Its high-quality interior is part of what makes this used model such good value for money.

Performance Specifications

Engine 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V-6 Transmission 8-Speed Automatic Horsepower 349 HP Torque 369 LB-FT Driveline AWD 0-60 MPH 4.2 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

The 2021 Audi S4 is a more grown-up sports sedan. While it isn’t quite as enthusiastic in the corners as some of its key rivals, it has plenty of pep when you put your foot down. It is super beginner-friendly, and it will likely never give you the feeling that you’re losing control.

2 2020 Cadillac CT5-V

Average Used Price: $39,332 / 0-60 MPH: 4.8 Seconds

Cadillac

The Cadillac CT5 is one of the nicest-looking mid-size luxury sedans on the market, with aggressive lines and a unique design language. Its biggest fault is that it uses some cheaper bits and bobs on the inside, which is easier to look past if you’re getting it for thousands cheaper than its MSRP.

Performance Specifications

Engine 3.0-Liter Turbocharged V-6 Transmission 10-Speed Automatic Horsepower 360 HP Torque 405 LB-FT Driveline RWD 0-60 MPH 4.8 Seconds Top Speed 168 MPH

While maybe not as hard-edged as the previous iteration of the CT5, it is more well-balanced. It offers a plush ride that absorbs all the bumps in the road pretty well. It also comes standard with some impressive equipment, such as adaptive dampers and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

1 2021 Toyota GR Supra 2.0

Average Used Price: $40,284 / 0-60 MPH: 4.7 Seconds

Toyota

The Supra faced a lot of controversy when it made its comeback with the 2020 model year for being too much of a BMW underneath its bodywork. However, if you can look past this, which shouldn’t be hard to do, you’ll find that Toyota’s coupe is one of the best modern sports cars ever built.

Performance Specifications

Engine 2.0-Liter Turbocharged Inline-Four Transmission 8-Speed Automatic Horsepower 255 HP Torque 295 LB-FT Driveline RWD 0-60 MPH 4.7 Seconds Top Speed 155 MPH

While the newest Supra launched with the 2020 model, it wasn’t until the 2021 model that it was offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder. If you can extend your budget, the three-liter turbocharged inline-six is much quicker, able to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds. While hard edged enough to clip apexes, the Supra is also super easy to live with day-to-day.

Can you accelerate quickly without paying six figures to do so? Performance cars come in various power and pricing levels, and with the advanced technology built into many modern performance machines, it is possible to find a relative bargain that is quick off the line.

Paying up to $70,000 for a new vehicle might sound crazy to some, while to others, it’s a drop in the bucket. If you want your sports car to hit 60 MPH in less than 4.5 seconds, you might have to pay as much as $70,000, which is technically a performance bargain.

This Audi sedan brings plenty of power and stays under the price limit, but so does the hotter Audi RS3, which is also quicker. It may come down to which version of this performance-oriented compact luxury sedan appeals to you the most.

Pros

Entertaining handling

Responsive powertrains

Cons

Limited trunk space

Some road noise at higher speeds

Not quite as raucous as the RS3

This Ford muscle car proves you don’t have to break the bank to have the performance desired. If you’re not thrilled by the GT, the Dark Horse Mustang can hit 60 mph in one-tenth of a second faster and still falls under the price ceiling, giving you another great way to enjoy this American icon.

Pros

Everyday tractable

Prodigious V8 power

Available manual transmission

Cons

Desirable Dark Horse model approaches Corvette price

Automatic transmission can get fussy

The rear seat is small

Powertrain Specifications

Engine 5.0-liter V8 Transmission 6-speed manual Horsepower 500 hp Torque 418 lb-ft Driveline RWD Fuel Efficiency 14/22 mpg 0-60 MPH 4.1 seconds Top Speed 166 MPH

MSRP: $63,690-$88,590 | 0-60 MPH: 4.0 Seconds

Cadillac

The 2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing pushes the boundaries of what a performance bargain should cost, but most models still fall below the $70,000 price point. This high-powered, performance-oriented Caddy isn’t playing around and will rocket to high speeds in a hurry.

Don’t let the Cadillac badge fool you, the CT4-V Blackwing is a sports sedan in every sense of the word. It has a manual gearbox, it’s quick, and it can be tossed about on the track or on a winding canyon run with lots of sharp curves and turns.

Pros

Lively performance

Balanced road manners

Communicates well with the driver

Cons

CT5-V Blackwing is faster but also much more expensive

Some low-rent interior items

Living on borrowed time

You can push this BMW to take off from a stop in a hurry, but the 540i is skewed more towards luxury than sport. This makes it a comfortable ride during those times you’re stuck in traffic, but once you find some open road, you can let it loose and toss it around in the corners.

Pros

Contemporary looks

Upscale and modern interior

Great powertrains

Cons

Tech comes with a learning curve

Muted steering feel

The return of this Toyota sports car was a little watered-down with the lack of a manual transmission, but the brand bent to pressure and today’s GR Supra can be had with the stick shifter that makes the driving experience more engaging and fun.

Pros

Potent engine

MSRP: $68,300-$88,945 | 0-60 MPH: 2.8 Seconds

This Chevrolet sports car is the entry-level version, with the Z06 and new ZR1 leaving this model in the dust. Still, for the price, the Corvette Stingray is one of the most thrilling cars you can drive, and it’s instantly recognizable as an amazing sports car.

Comfortable enough to drive daily and year-round

3LZ trim is certifiably luxurious

Cons

Pros Massively quick

Arguably the best street 911

Seamless hybrid system Cons Launching it can be tricky

Digital dash has detractors

Maybe it’s Porsche’s fault. Maybe if it hadn’t remained so loyal to the 911’s original mechanical “purity” ethos for so many decades, it never would have gained such a hardcore loyalist following for its brand-defining sports car. Maybe without that—likely, even—there wouldn’t be the histrionic handwringing from certain corners of the superfanbase whenever the German carmaker deigns to interrupt the in-the-moment accepted view of what the 911 Carrera is. Be it water-cooled engines or widespread use of turbochargers, or now a gas-electric hybrid powertrain, introducing new technologies and features that nudge the 911 nearer any given moment’s mainstream automotive philosophies ensures one thing: a lot of discussion, debate, and pontification is about to go down. So we expected as much with the 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid, the first-ever electrified production 911.

AI Quick Summary The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid, Porsche’s first electrified 911, boasts 532 hp, accelerates 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, and has a top quarter-mile time of 10.7 seconds. It features a seamless hybrid system, maintaining the 911’s driving experience while enhancing performance. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next

0:00 / 0:00

But Actually … Porsche nuts—and admittedly there’s more than one on the MotorTrend staff who fit the description in their personal time—are such a pedantic bunch, other new things found in the 2025 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid like push-button start (no more physical key to turn) and a digital tachometer seem just as polarizing, at least according to the social media and other commentary we’ve seen. And, ahem, by some of our own previously published comments. But perhaps one upshot of so many automakers funneling so many fully electric vehicles down the car-buying public’s collective throat the past few years is that the idea of hybridization doesn’t carry the same mark of a green-weenie outcast as it not so long ago did to serious car/driving enthusiasts, Porsche fanatics or otherwise.

If that’s even partially the case, we say “good,” because after running the new 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid (T stands for Turbo, if that wasn’t clear) through our performance-testing gantlet, it’s more than a little difficult to turn our noses up at it out of some misguided sense that Porsche has somehow ruined its flagship performer by daring to give it more of everything we liked about the 992-series 911 in the first place. Briefly, before we get into said performance, click here if you want to read more of our subjective thoughts about the car following our First Drive report, or here for a deeper dive into its hybrid powertrain.

Launch Control

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid (and the new 992.2 base 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera S) comes only with an eight-speed twin-clutch automatic gearbox, though that might change, as we’ve speculated despite Porsche refusing to say anything of the sort. You’ll just have to forget the noise for now and focus on what the GTS has rather than what it doesn’t—and it has a lot.

It begins with peak output figures of 532 horsepower and 449 lb-ft of torque, or 59 more horsepower and an additional 59 lb-ft of torque compared to the non-hybrid 2025 Carrera S. Compared to the 992.1-series 911 GTS, the new version betters it by the same 59-hp gulf and 29 lb-ft. Hold the brake pedal with your left foot, stomp the throttle pedal with your right one, wait for the revs to stabilize, and, well, whoosh just about covers it: The launch-control-assisted GTS T-Hybrid accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds in our hands. The quarter mile? 10.7 seconds at 129.7 mph. You don’t need to be even 20 years old today to recall when numbers like these were the exclusive domain of hypercars.

Just one such example: A mere 10 years ago, nearly to this very day, we tested a Ferrari LaFerrari to the tune of 0–60 in 2.4 seconds and a quarter-mile performance of 9.7 seconds at 148.5 mph. Yes, it was quicker and faster than this Porsche, but not by a margin that would make a drag race between the two a slaughter, at least not until you crested past 150 mph. And don’t forget: LaFerrari pricing started at $1.4 million, today’s equivalent of something like $1.9 million. Suddenly the 2025 911 GTS T-Hybrid’s base price of $ 166,895 and this particular car’s as-tested sticker of $ 205,285 isn’t quite as shell-shocking as it was before we dug into our own numbers database.

Full transparency and something for new GTS buyers to know: The fat 315/30 21-inch rear tires need to be damn warm for you to have any hope of matching our best time. Otherwise, attempting to launch this 911 on even moderately cold rubber is a one-way ticket to Wheelspin City, something we’ve heard Porsche itself has had to manage in its own testing. And in our direct experience, the tires still lose grip after the 1–2 upshift, which isn’t great for producing the absolute theoretical best times but sure as hell is a grin-making characteristic for drivers who appreciate a bit of drama in their lives. That said, remember the number: 2.6 seconds to 60. No, it doesn’t nearly match the basically unfathomable 1.89-second time of the all-electric Taycan Turbo GT Weissach we tested recently, but regardless, the accelerative prowess of modern-day automobiles has reached a point of borderline absurdity.

Knock It Off

You probably won’t hear many people bragging about a car’s braking performance over beers, but it’s as important as speed, even more so in a car this quick and fast.

After what seems like 100 years of similar results from testing Porsches, it’s no surprise the new 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid feels like nothing can stop it from stopping. We ratcheted it down from 60 mph to 0 in 95 feet, funnily enough precisely the same distance as the LaFerrari a decade ago. For broader and fresher context, the T-Hybrid’s stopping distance is just 3 feet longer than the killer 911 GT3 and GT3 RS models that ride on stickier rubber. It’s worth noting, just as with the tires during our acceleration runs, our test car’s optional carbon-ceramic brakes predictably needed a few hard applications to warm up and produce their best results. In other words, you probably will need another 5 feet, give or take, to come to a halt if you have to panic-stop from 60 mph in a more common real-world situation.

Sticky Sweet

If you want world-class handling, the 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid delivers more than you’ll ever need in that department, too. Sure, talented (or not so talented) drivers will find ways to exceed the grip limit on racetracks, but you can forget about running out of stick on dry public roads, unless you’re suffering from a debilitating closed-head injury or are trying to get yourself incarcerated.

If you’re still thinking a 911’s character somehow must suffer from carrying a hybrid system, we experienced nothing on our test track to suggest the electric bits are detrimental to the experience. T he 400-volt, 1.9-kWh battery pack that powers the electric motor and single turbocharger weighs just 60 pounds, with the car’s total curb weight registering 3,598 on our scales. Yes, that’s 126 pounds heavier than the standard Carrera we weighed recently, but that model’s engine makes “only” 388 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, meaning the GTS Hybrid makes up for its extra heft with its significantly more powerful powertrain, at least in the thrust department. We haven’t yet weighed a Carrera S; Porsche says it checks in at 174 pounds less than the T-Hybrid, but official manufacturer weight figures rarely match what we find when we weigh cars ourselves.

Regardless, weight is always the enemy of nimble handling, but you don’t feel it in this GTS from behind the wheel. The car’s performance when braking into corners is borderline unreal, given how much speed you find yourself carrying on the approach to them, and it was super-easy and intuitive to dance on the grip limit. Our official numbers: It recorded a 1.11-g average on the skidpad and roasted our figure-eight course in 22.4 seconds with a 0.99-g average. We never ran the LaFerrari through those tests, so for perspective let’s consider the mighty lap-time-at-all-costs 911 GT3 RS instead: It averaged 1.18 g around the skidpad and completed the figure-eight circuit in 21.9 seconds at 0.97 g, the latter number being worse than that of the GTS. Better overall, yes. A galaxy apart? No.

Of course, our tests occur at relatively lower speeds and, speaking generally, reward mechanical grip rather than aerodynamics; the RS would obliterate the GTS on a fast racetrack simply because of its far superior aerodynamic downforce levels alone, but the GTS makes a lot more sense for almost any other situation. Its overall performance is unlikely to ever leave you wanting for more unless you’re a professional race car driver who’s decided to go brains-to-feet on public roads.

Perhaps this additional comparison makes the point even clearer: The non-RS 911 GT3 we named our 2023 Performance Vehicle of the Year was significantly slower to 60 mph (3.4 seconds) than the new GTS Hybrid. That GT3 model in fact bested the even more focused GT3 RS on the skidpad at 1.19 g, and while it’s 22.1-second figure-eight time was 0.3 second quicker than the GTS, its 0.95-g average was, also like the RS, worse than what the T-Hybrid car managed.

So What?

From a traditionalist standpoint, we certainly understand why some 911 buyers will still prefer to choose the non-electrified variants. If nothing else, such cars will strike them emotionally as simply what they imagine when they think about driving one. Frankly, a base Carrera delivers dynamic performance the likes of which no one can sanely deploy more than about 50 percent of on public streets. But don’t think the GTS T-Hybrid changes the fundamental 911 experience, other than boosting that performance past its Carrera siblings. If you want even more bonafides to brag to your friends about over drinks, you need to look at the big-boy Turbo or GT3 models.

Anyone who still isn’t convinced should know the hybrid system is seamless, imparting no ill effects on the feelings and noises you get when driving. Speaking of the latter, you hear a clear whine or “whistling” sound when you smash the gas, and a “pssshhhh” noise when you lift off the throttle. However, since the GTS doesn’t feature a turbocharger wastegate, Porsche attributes those sound effects to airflow into the turbocharger and then the pressure reduction in the turbo’s inlet when you lift off throttle. It’s a small thing reading about it here, but it tangibly adds to the fun.

Speaking objectively after our full test of the car, the 2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid is the most capable, complete, and best Carrera model for real-world and daily-driving duty, and it absolutely rips on racetracks, too. No “maybe” about it.

Pros Fantastic dollars-to-smiles ratio

Race-car-like brake feel

Magical limited-slip differential Cons No adaptive cruise control

Ride is too firm for normies

Trunk brace diminishes practicality

Front-drive heroes are nothing new to the tuner and import communities—and America finally getting the Honda Civic Type R for two generations has helped legitimize the breed—but Hyundai would like a word. The dearly departed Veloster N left big shoes to fill for the brand in the sport compact space, but its flaws, namely an overly harsh ride, left a lot of room for improvement. Enter the Hyundai Elantra N, which brought much improvement when it arrived for 2022, capably carrying the oddball Veloster’s torch in its slightly manic hands.

AI Quick Summary The 2025 Hyundai Elantra N DCT offers impressive performance for under $40K, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds. It features a 286 hp turbo engine and sporty handling. Downsides include lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and adaptive cruise control. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next

0:00 / 0:00

While it’s true the Elantra N is a more conventional car—it’s a sedan vs, a weirdo three-door hatchback—its layout and size make it more practical for daily use while building on the dollars-to-smiles ratio of the Veloster. Refreshed for 2024, we previously tested the manual-transmission version. Now it’s the dual-clutch automatic’s turn at the test track.

Some Type R-Beating Numbers

We’ll get the objective stuff out of the way first. The Elantra N makes 276 hp (or, briefly, 286 via the N Grin Shift function) and 289 lb-ft of torque from a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four. Power is sent to the front wheels via either a six-speed manual or eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Our DCT test car tipped the MotorTrend scales at a modest 3,334 pounds.

Whipped into a frenzy, the Elantra N ran from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, blasted through the quarter mile in 13.3 seconds at 106.7 mph, and completed our figure-eight test in 24.3 seconds at an average of 0.80 g. By comparison, the 315-hp 2023 Honda Civic Type R touched 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, the quarter mile in 13.9 seconds at 104.2 mph, and lapped the figure eight in 24.5 seconds at an average of 0.73 g. The Type R is 169 pounds lighter, too, although it was equipped with a six-speed manual, its sole transmission. The Type R’s weight does edge it ahead in braking, though, with a 104-foot stop from 60 mph against the Elantra N’s 105 feet.

Perhaps even more impressive was how much the DCT car improved on the manual Elantra N, which hit 60 in 5.7 seconds, covered the quarter in 14.3 at 100.0 mph, and sashayed around the figure eight in 25.2 at 0.73 g.

And just for fun, let’s look back at the 2021 Veloster N’s performance. Outfitted with a DCT, it packed 275 hp and weighed 3,166 pounds. The 0–60 run took 5.1 seconds, the quarter mile 13.7 at 102.9 mph, and the figure eight 24.7 at an average of 0.76 g.

[Hoonage Intensifies]

At the test track or on the road, activating the launch control and pushing the N Grin Shift button sends it the car rocketing forward accompanied by furious engine sounds (that inspired the fake noises in the electric Ioniq 5 N) and tire slip on the first-to-second shift. Our preferred handling setup for max attack put the engine in Sport+, the steering in Sport+, the e-LSD in Sport, the traction control off, the transmission in Sport+, and the exhaust in Sport+. Do that, and you’ll have a balls-out berserker on your hands.

With so much aggression on tap, you might think this Hyundai might go over the edge, be out of control. Heavens, no. The days of FWD cars spoiled by torque steer are long gone, and the Elantra N is quite tidy on its feet; there’s no need to fight it. Focus instead on things like nailing your driving line and technique so you can go faster. The N’s fleetness is helped along by the magical limited-slip differential, which allows you to go hard to the throttle well before corner exit without even a whiff of wheelspin. All the while, the DCT is snapping off up- and downshifts, quick and smooth, maintaining the car’s athletic balance. The steering, too, clearly communicates how much grip is left at the front tires via a right-sized and properly sporty wheel.

If you’re looking to maximize the car’s stopping power, know the brakes are governed by pedal pressure rather than by pedal travel. That’s how it works in cars such as the Porsche GT3 RS and Lamborghini Huracán STO, and it’s thus a surprisingly racy characteristic to find in a car at this price.

This is not to say the car can’t also be enjoyed away from closed-circuit situations. The eagerness to go! go! go! and the liveliness inherent to the steering and chassis don’t go away just when speeds fall; this car is a hoot no matter what you’re doing. Of course, the upshot is that it’s sorely tempting to turn each commute into a qualifying session where you rocket around city corners and stress-test the speed limit because driving normally is just so boring, god. The Elantra N rejects the mundane and injects spicy fun into the blandest of journeys.

What’s the Elantra N like to live with? Well, it’s like an eager, aggressive puppy; it never lets you forget what it’s all about, with more noise, vibration, and harshness than your typical commuter car. Enthusiasts will be pleased, including with the firm but largely compliant ride, but those who don’t want their car to feel white-hot and alive should look a step down in the lineup, at the Elantra N Line. It’s nice to see a physical handbrake, and the glowing seat logos add a bit of theater at night. The bolstered bucket seats are tight yet supportive, blessedly nothing like the Veloster N’s seats, which we recall as feeling like plywood with vinyl stapled to it. The different drive modes are easily accessible via a single button, and of course the different N settings are within your thumbs’ reach.

The Elantra N’s interior is rather basic, but it’s also functional, straightforward, and easy to use. The digital displays are clear, and it’s easy to toggle the central screen between Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and the built-in Hyundai experience. The radio and climate controls are all largely physical, including a volume knob, as well. Naturally, all the better qualities inherent to any Elantra are here, too, including the spacious back seat, roomy trunk, and generous standard feature set.

Shortcomings

There are a few demerits.

For one, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t wireless, so you’ll need a cable, and there’s no adaptive cruise control. Both seem like strange omissions in 2025. If you live somewhere that experiences winter, the non-heated steering wheel (increasingly available in this class) might be a bummer, and the car’s turning radius is on the big side, so keep that in mind in tight parking lots. Fuel efficiency—at 20/27/23 mpg city/highway/combined—is OK for a racy car like this, but it’s not spectacular.

Finally, the cherry-red chassis brace in the trunk looks rad as hell but severely eats into practicality if you need to fold the seats down for anything. You can shove a ski bag through it if you’re motivated enough, though. And, again, even with last year’s improved damping, the ride “comfort,” no matter the drive setting, typically falls between sliding down a gravel driveway on a thin, plastic sled and a consistent yet firm paddling by a disappointed nun. You feel every nook and cranny, even if their edges are nicely rounded off.

You Won’t Care

But here’s the magical part: You. Won’t. Care.

We shower praise where praise is due: Hyundai did a fabulous job with this car. It is a standout in its class and niche. If you dismiss this car because of some kind of outdated brand snobbery, wake up—or get your doors blown off.

After spending a week with the Elantra N, we’re still in disbelief this car exists, that such approachable, capable performance is available to just anyone who can pay its modest price. We love the Honda Civic Type R, but this car is significantly cheaper and not significantly worse. Sport compact fans owe it to themselves to check out this car as soon as possible; niche products like this one are often gone in the blink of an eye.

Sports sedans offer a niche yet appealing combination of performance and practicality, a formula which still hangs in the balance today as sedans are deleted from lineups in favor of performance SUVs. A look through the plethora of online forums and communities reminds us that this niche still enjoys a strong following, and the last decade offered a decent amount of performance, bang-for-buck, and memorable design work.

In many cases, these models are also pretty affordable, making one of the following (or more than one if you have space) a great choice as a performance-oriented car with four doors and a usable trunk. These models all crucially rely on turbocharged engines; there are no superchargers here or naturally-aspirated V8s. As for feeling like a supercar, the following sedans won’t outperform one in terms of handling or dynamics, so we went for the tried-and-tested metric of 0-60 mph times. The benchmark? A Ferrari F355, which can hit 60 mph in under five seconds.

Honda

Specs

2019 Honda Civic Type R Engine format 2.0-liter, turbocharged I4 Power 306 hp Torque 295 lb-ft Transmission 6-speed manual Drivetrain Front-engine, front-wheel drive

Produced from 2017 to 2021, the FK8-generation Honda Civic Type R was the first generation of Civic Type R officially sold to the US market. Based once again on the Civic hatchback, this five-door rocket utilizes the same K20 engine as its predecessor, a punchy inline-four that is still in use for the current Type R. Unlike the current model though, the FK8 has more aggressive styling with plenty of vents, carbon fiber, a huge rear wing, and the three exhaust tips up back, all promising dynamics and track-focused performance, which is exactly what you buy a Civic Type R for. It’s one of the pricier models on this list, but it’s also one of the fastest turbocharged cars under $30k, with arguably the potential for the most fun.

Specs

2016 Ford Focus RS Engine format 2.3-liter, turbocharged I4 Power 350 hp Torque 350 lb-ft Transmission 6-speed manual Drivetrain Front-engine, all-wheel drive

Another hot hatchback that requires little to no introduction, the Ford Focus RS appeared in 2016 for the US market, the first Focus RS model to do so. This version is even more powerful than the MK2 RS and offers more power and torque than a Ford Mustang EcoBoost, with four-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission to put that power down to the asphalt or gravel beneath its specially-tuned chassis.

The turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four is arguably less charismatic than the 2.5-liter five-cylinder from the MK2, but this rocket is one of the most capable hatchbacks ever. An interior that lacks refinement and its overall styling may put off those who might otherwise consider one, but this kind of machine is a unicorn that will never be replicated again.

2016 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 Engine format 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 Power 400 hp Torque 350 lb-ft Transmission 7-speed automatic Drivetrain Front-engine, all-wheel drive

2024 is the last model year of the Infiniti Q50 sedan, a model that began its tenure way back in 2014. It’s changed little over time, but its looks have aged gracefully, and the punchy VR30DDTT engine (shared with the Nissan Z) is a great performer, with peak torque available from just 1,600 rpm. Rear and all-wheel drive are available, but the versions with the latter offer the best acceleration. The fastest models carry the Red Sport 400 badge – where the engine is tuned to put out a mighty 400 horsepower and 55 pound-feet more torque than the standard sedan. Its retirement after this year will mean the loss of one of the last remaining affordable V6 sedans.

2015 Volkswagen Golf R Engine format 2.0-liter, turbocharged I4 Power 292 hp Torque 280 lb-ft Transmission 6-speed automatic Drivetrain Front-engine, all-wheel drive

Hot hatchbacks are clearly where it’s at for fast and affordable fun. Considering its performance and refinement, the MK7 Volkswagen Golf R seems like good value, undercutting the 2017 Honda Civic Type R by some margin when it comes to average values. It isn’t far behind in firepower, and it also offers all-wheel drive for enhanced traction as well as all-weather dependability.

It debuted in 2015 and just a year later, a manual transmission was made available, which isn’t faster to 60 mph but adds crucial driver involvement. The engine is the same turbocharged inline-four setup as the GTI, with lots of modifications to the cylinder head, fuel system, ECU, turbocharger, and other areas for a boost in performance, in addition to the switch to all-wheel drive.

The F30-generation BMW 3 Series is the follow-up to the E90 and was produced from 2012 to 2019. Once again, a 335i version was part of the range and was produced up until 2015. It’s a steal today at just $10,000, considering the performance and refinement on offer. BMW’s N55 engine is an evolution in the brand’s inline-six engine family and provides impressive peak torque, which is available from just 1,200 rpm, making it quick and responsive on your favorite road. The engine was impressive enough to be nominated for Ward’s Best Engines a few years in a row. You can even opt for a manual transmission, which makes this a proper driver’s sedan with the added bonus of all-wheel drive with the xDrive version.

Audi

Specs

2016 Audi TTS Engine format 2.0-liter, turbocharged I4 Power 292 hp Torque 280 lb-ft Transmission 6-speed automatic Drivetrain Front-engine, all-wheel drive

Audi’s TTS was a powerful version of the TT, sitting below the TT RS but above the other versions, with the same ubiquitous EA888 engine as the Volkswagen Golf R or Audi S3. The coupe’s styling may not be universally loved, but the TT, at the time in its third and final generation, offered all the classic hallmarks of design that made the TT an idiosyncratic and entertaining sports car.

Arguably more clinical than some rivals, the TTS is still one of the best options for your favorite twisty road, whether dry or wet, and you’ll always stand out thanks to its iconic looks. The only thing it lacked was a manual transmission, but the TTS works best as a point-to-point missile where the right foot remains pressed as often as possible.

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo Engine format 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 Power 520 hp Torque 516 lb-ft Transmission 7-speed automatic Drivetrain Front-engine, all-wheel drive

Incredibly, the Porsche Panamera Turbo sneaks into the budget for the 2014 model year. We can thank depreciation for this and a fear of looming bills. It’s still a lot of car for the money and the comfort, refinement, and monstrous power on offer are worth it in exchange for some financial risk-taking. The first-gen Panamera was produced from 2009 to 2016.

One of the only V8-powered models on this list, the Porsche eight-cylinder is twin-turbocharged for a huge output, and all-wheel drive is standard, which helps this 4,500-pound fastback sedan hit 60 mph, just a second slower than a McLaren Speedtail. Luxury and refinement are the order of the day and although this Porsche barge isn’t a stretched 911 by any means, its looks are still more streamlined than the Cayenne.

2018 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Sedan Engine format 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 Power 469 hp Torque 479 lb-ft Transmission 7-speed automatic Drivetrain Front-engine, rear-wheel drive

This model only just creeps into the budget, but it’s a fairly recent one at only seven years old. It also represents a lot of performance and luxury for the money. Based on the flagship AMG version of the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, it also comes with a twin-turbocharged V8 like the Porsche above. 0-60 mph is in the same order as the Panamera too. Mercedes-Benz produced the C 63 in sedan, coupe, and also convertible variants, all with the punchy M177 engine under the hood.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, while the C 43 offered the 4MATIC all-wheel drive setup. A manual transmission wasn’t even offered, but the auto suits the C 63’s sedan’s nature – an autobahn-devouring luxury barge. An even more powerful C 63 S was also produced, and a later facelift brought a new nine-speed transmission.

Cadillac always seems to offer some of the best bang-for-buck and the 2016-2019 ATS-V is another embodiment of this very American philosophy at a bargain price. Unlike the CTS-V of the time which came from the factory with a supercharged V8, this $60,000 sedan or coupe only packed a V6. However, twin-turbochargers helped to liberate almost 500 horsepower from this compact exec and send all this bang to the rear wheels.

Fortunately, a manual transmission was also offered alongside the automatic. Dynamics and refinement might separate the ATS-V from the BMW 3 Series of the time, but this underrated barge is slightly faster than a contemporary M3 to 60 mph and would arguably turn many heads at your local Cars and Coffee.

There might only be a few tenths separating this Audi RS 3 from a Ferrari 458 Italia (to 60 mph at least), but the supercar theme ends there. This model was introduced to the US in 2017 after the car’s facelift, and although the States didn’t get a taste of the RS 3 Sportback, the sedan’s design has arguably aged very well.

Audi’s compact executive sedan offers the typical refinement and German style you would expect in the smallest form factor available, with an epic five-cylinder engine along for the ride. The RS 3’s output is still impressive today and not far behind the current model. The Quattro all-wheel-drive system and comfortable cabin make this a car you could probably justify to your significant other, although values aren’t exactly cheap.
