The misconception that sports cars are expensive has left many an auto-enthusiast nursing an unfulfilled dream – owning their very own hot rod.
The fact is, between college debt and mortgages, most don’t even consider such a purchase. However, nowadays, almost all sports cars offer several versions, with varying specs and prices.
You don’t need to break the bank fulfilling the dream! Here’s a list of affordable sports cars that might just find a home in your garage this year:
