    Everyone loves the look and speed of sports cars. However, there are some things that you need to consider or purchase before buying one. If you are interested in buying a sports car soon, here’s what to consider before you make the purchase.

    1. Get a Preapproved Car Loan

    Most new cars, especially sports cars, can be costly. Most people cannot afford to pay for a new car in cash. This means that you will need to get pre approved for a car loan. 

    You will first want to sit down and look for a lender. A lender can be a bank, credit union, or online lender. Find out which has the best rates and deals before you make a selection.

    After reviewing all the lenders and choosing the one that fits you best, the lender will sit down with you and check your credit score. They will then inform you how much they are willing to give you for a car loan.

    Once you know how much they will provide you and how much you can afford to pay out of pocket, you will be more able to determine what vehicles are in your price range.

    2. What Do You Want from Your Car?

    Sports cars are infinitely varied – so are their owners. Some people want one for looks, while others may want one for speed.

    If you are looking for one that looks the best, you will have to think about what exactly you like about the looks and go from there. Finding a car based on looks is highly subjective, although let’s admit it – it matters. It matters a lot.

    3. Check Its Top Speed and Horsepower

    When looking at and comparing the speed of the vehicles, you will want to find out the horsepower and the torque. Also, look at the power-to-weight ratio to see how fast it will go.

    Of course, you’re unlikely to ever max out a modern car’s speed without getting arrested pretty quickly. Still, it’s nice to be able to move.

    4. Know Its Fuel Efficiency & Type

    Fuel efficiency is also significant. Most people want to have the best fuel efficiency so that they get more miles to the gallon. However, it is not just the efficiency you need to look at. Many sports cars require premium gas. You should always figure out what gas is best for your vehicle.

    5. Research the Cost of Maintenance

    Over time, like all vehicles, your car will need repairs. This is why it is essential to see what parts it needs and to figure out how much it would cost to repair your vehicle.

    6. What’s Its Transmission Type?

    Some people want a manual transmission (stick shift), while others prefer an automatic one. Figuring out which you want is entirely subjective. However, you will want to consider that the manual transmission provides a unique experience, while the automatic transmission can be more fuel efficient.

    7. How’s the Handling?

    You will want to compare the handling of all the cars you are choosing from. This will not be as important if you plan on mostly doing straight highway driving. But if you plan on going on many winding roads, this is important. It is also good to have better handling on the highway as it may help you swerve out of the way of an accident.

    Get Your Sports Car Today!

    Sports cars are a ton of fun. Buying one doesn’t need to be a hassle. With the right loan and a good idea of what you’re looking for, you will have much less trouble.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
