Impress everyone: which cars are the most interesting to drive

Driving a car can be not just a pleasure, but even a real hobby. And you don't have to have an expensive supercar to do it. The car market offers many affordable models with such a level of performance and handling that you won't want to get out from behind the wheel.

CarWOW has compiled a top ten list of the best cars with just such characteristics. It includes two-seater convertibles, city workhorses, and even an electric car.

Alfa Romeo Giulia

The sports sedan offers an unforgettable driving experience thanks to its steep chassis and rear-wheel drive. In the city, its suspension may feel a bit harsh and some of the technology may be outdated, but few cars in this class offer the same amount of fun to drive.

BMW 3 Series

The German sports sedan continues to be the benchmark for a car that is pleasant to drive. It's not necessary to choose the top models M340i or M3, as even the basic 320i with 184 hp is fast and incredibly docile.

Hyundai i20 N

Fans of miniature hot hatchbacks are probably still mourning the loss of the Ford Fiesta ST, but if you need to feel the spirit of this car, definitely look at the Hyundai i20 N. It offers lightweight, high power, and the usual hot hatchback racing styling.

Honda Civic Type R

The Civic Type R has always been one of the most dynamic hot hatchbacks, and the new model takes it to a whole new level. Family-friendly in design, it is a true sports car in character.

Abarth 500e

The idea of an electric hot hatch is skeptical to many. But the Abarth 500e is able to change this opinion. Not only does it have excellent handling, but it also makes fake engine sounds that can be quite amusing and set the mood.

Mazda MX-5

A rear-wheel-drive roadster with a manual transmission and an energetic naturally aspirated engine is a real find for a driver. Yes, it's not cheap – you can easily find a faster and more practical car for the money. But it will not have the same character. For best results, experts recommend a 2.0-liter engine with 184 hp paired with a manual transmission.

Porsche Cayman

Only a mid-engine layout can provide such a fine balance of handling, and the Cayman is based on it. The basic four-cylinder models are fast, but they lack the stunning sound of more expensive six-cylinder cars. Meanwhile, the new GT4 RS with 493 hp may well be the most advanced sports car on sale today.

Tesla Model 3

Tesla electric cars have become famous for their high speed on straightaways. The same goes for the Model 3. The feeling of an instant burst of power will never get old. The best results will be provided by the Model 3 Performance with the Track mode preset. However, it is not cheap, and the build quality is still not as good as that of BMW and Audi.

Toyota GR Yaris

The GR model may look like a standard weighted Yaris, but it offers much more. The three-cylinder 1.6-liter turbocharged engine produces a serious 280 hp, which, combined with the sophisticated all-wheel drive system, makes it obscenely fast.

Suzuki Swift Sport

The Swift Sport was born to prove that you don't need a huge amount of power to have a lot of fun. The small 1.4-liter turbocharged engine may have a power output of only 129 hp, but it weighs only 1025 kg, which means it has much more to offer.
