1. 2013 Honda Civic LX — $18,555

With all of its racing heritage, Honda knows how to tuck lots of fun into small (and small-budget) packages. The black coupe sports a 1.8L, 16-valve inline 4-cyl. pumping out 140 hp and mated to — what else? — a 5-speed manual transmission, according to cars.com

For sale at: Metro Honda, Johnston

2. 2013 Scion tC — $19,480

Clad in slick silver metallic, this two-door coupe features 180 hp out of its 2.5-L 4-cyl. engine. The six-speed automatic gets plaudits for smooth shifting, and the 31 highway mpg will be fairly easy on the wallet.

For sale at: Colonial Toyota, Smithfield 

3. 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LS — $25,988

Okay, bow-tie fans, here's the latest edition of Chevy's affordable road rocket: it's got a 3.6L V-6 good for 323 hp, a six-speed manual transmission, and rear wheel drive — like sports cars should, really.

For sale at: Paul Masse Chevrolet, East Providence

4. 2014 Ford Mustang V6 — $26,180

What kind of sports car review would this be if it didn't include a Mustang alongside a Camaro? [Sales of uriniating Calvin stickers should also spike.] This blue oval pony churns out 306 hp from its 3.7L V6 and puts the pound to the ground to the back wheels through a manual 6-speed transmission.

For sale at: Tasca Automotive Group, Cranston

5. 2013 Volkswagen Eos Sport - $35,965

If you're torn between sporty feel and open-air cruising, the Eos offers both — with a hardtop convertible that ensures smart handling when closed and the classic feel of wind-through-hair when it's open. This VW packs 200hp in its 2.0L inline 4 and offers a six-speed automatic with auto-shift.

For sale at: Speedcraft Volkswagen, Wakefield

If you're not messing around — and have the bank to back it up:

2013 BMW 640 Gran Coupe i - $93,645

A horsepower number that starts with "3." Turbo. Rear-wheel drive. 8-speed transmission. Slick aero on the outside, leather and ceramic inside.

That, plus the many other bells and whistles expected from BMW, makes the 640 Gran Coupe more than your average four-door sportster.

For sale at: BMW of Newport, Middletown
