Many who think of performance cars often imagine expensive automobiles. However, there are several affordable performance cars that are still exciting to drive. Below are a few examples:

- Fiat 500 Abarth: Featuring a 1.4-liter “MultiAir” four-cylinder engine, the Fiat 500 Abarth packs a lot of power into a small car. This vehicle can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in roughly seven seconds and produces 160 horsepower. Further, the Fiat 500 Abarth is available for around $22,500.

- Ford Mustang: Coming in between $22,000 and $31,000, Ford Mustangs offer powerful engines, rear-wheel drives, and up to 420 horsepower. The original performance vehicle, the Mustang has maintained its reputation over the years as a car that offers a great driving experience.

- Mazda Miata: Mazda has successfully branded itself as one of the best, well-priced car manufacturers for the past two decades. With the Miata, this branding holds true, and drivers can enjoy easy-to-dial inputs, a great steering feel, and amazing power when on the road. Plus, this sports car only costs around $25,000.
