Two seats, a tiny trunk, and no practicality whatsoever. Worth it anyway.

- Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ: The back seat is decorative and the trunk holds a weekend bag. That is the deal.
- BMW 2 Series: The small, quick, rear-drive BMW people say they want. Two usable seats.
- Chevrolet Camaro: Handles better than its rivals and you cannot see out of it. Discontinued after 2024.
- Ford Mustang: Rear-wheel drive with no AWD option, poor winter manners, and a useless back seat.
