COMPACT SPORTS COUPES
2017 Honda Civic Coupe ($19,690)
The 10th generation Civic sedan has already taken home several awards, and the coupe is essentially the same car. If you’re looking to buy a fun-to-drive small Japanese car with a youthful streak, this one fits the bill perfectly. Check out our latest review of the Honda Civic Coupe. Also, the new 205-hp Civic Si is out; watch a clip below:
2017 Kia Forte Koup ($21,595)
Without any great fanfare, the Kia Forte Koup remains visible in the Canadian landscape and continues to attract consumers with its choice of two engines: a naturally aspirated 164-hp motor and a 201-hp turbo version.
2017 Nissan 370Z ($29,998)
Significantly sportier than the two previous models listed, the Nissan 370Z benefited in 2016 from a big price reduction, helping boost sales of the model as it neared the end of its life cycle. Getting 332 hp for under $30,000? That’s a good deal. Learn more about the 370Z in our latest review.
2017 Subaru BRZ ($27,995)
A few years back, the BRZ took top honours when we carried out a comparison of compact sports coupes. We tried it again after it was revised in 2016, and now it’s back with a bang in 2017 with the addition of the limited-edition Inazuma.
2017 Toyota 86 ($29,580)
Formerly the Scion FR-S, this Japanese sports coupe was developed conjointly with the Subaru BRZ, lest we forget. Its silhouette and configuration are similar to the Subaru’s (2.0L engine, rear-wheel drive, 2+2 cabin). One thing’s for sure: the 86 brings a welcome dose of excitement to the Toyota lineup.
