Best 4-seater sports cars of 2024

Porsche 911
2024
Desirability Award
S/T version

1. Porsche 911

9/10
Porsche 911 review
The world’s most recognisable sports car is still a class benchmark and available in a wide variety of body styles and trims. The rear seats are tiny, and options are pricey, but who cares when it looks this good and delivers such a sharp driving experience.
BMW M2
2024
Driving Pleasure Award
Highly Commended

2. BMW M2

9/10
BMW M2 review
The new M2 isn't quite as elegantly styled as the old one, but its boxy new look is certainly aggressive. It gets the same engine as the bigger M3 and M4, but with a bit less power. Though with 460hp and 550Nm of torque it's not slow. It's also easier to drive quickly than the bigger cars, making it more fun on a twisty road. It's very expensive, though.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

9/10
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio review
This characterful Alfa offers a great driving experience while still being practical enough for a family of four. You get decent rear passenger space and a big boot, although some interior trim could be higher quality. While the ride can be a bit hard, it’s as fun to drive as any of its alternatives.

Porsche Taycan

4. Porsche Taycan

9/10
Porsche Taycan review
Battery range up to 360 miles
The Taycan combines eco-friendly electric power with an engaging driving experience. A tricky combination that Porsche has mastered on its first try. It’s very comfortable and looks great but alternatives can go longer on a charge and have more space for rear seat passengers and their luggage.
BMW M3

5. BMW M3

9/10
BMW M3 review
The M3 looks and behaves like a family-friendly four-door saloon until you put your foot down. Then it transforms into a thrilling sports car, without losing its daily-driver practicality. That grille is divisive though, and some alternatives are a bit more comfortable.
Nissan GT-R

6. Nissan GT-R

9/10
Nissan GT-R review
The aging Nissan GT-R defies the competition with its searing performance capabilities thanks to regular updates. The interior is a bit dated and the rear seats are a token gesture, but it’s got useable boot and just about enough refinement for daily driving duties. Don't let the fact you can't buy one new put you off. The GT-R is still hugely desirable as a used buy.
BMW M240i

7. BMW M240i

9/10
BMW M240i review
If you can't quite stretch your budget to an M2, the latest BMW M240i is a fantastic alternative. It now comes standard with four-wheel-drive (which you can't get on the M2) and the very latest tech. The rear will accommodate adults at a push and the boot is generously sized. There’s no manual option though, which is where the M2 gets a point back.
Audi e-tron GT

8. Audi RS e-tron GT

8/10
Audi e-tron GT review
Battery range up to 305 miles
The e-tron GT is ridiculously quick, handles well and still manages to have a comfortable ride. You pay for such competence and options will further dent your wallet. Some alternatives can go even further between charges, but that shouldn’t matter unless you travel long distances regularly.
Mercedes-Benz SL (2016-2020)

9. Mercedes-AMG SL

8/10
Mercedes-Benz SL (2016-2020) review
The Mercedes-AMG SL offers cutting-edge tech and performance and handles superbly despite its size. The rear seats can technically accommodate small kids, but they’re best used as an extension to the small boot. Not many alternatives offer as much luxury and cool tech, and the SL is priced to reflect this fact.
Toyota GR86
2024
Pleasure Of Driving Award

10. Toyota GR86

9/10
Toyota GR86 review
The GT86 was a great, affordable sports car, and the GR86 has continued the winning recipe of being front-engined, rear-wheel drive and lightweight. It even has more power than before, addressing the main criticism of its predecessor. Unfortunately, Toyota didn't bring many to the UK, so you'll have to dive into the used market to find one.

Advice about sports cars with 4 seats

4-seater sports cars FAQs

If you’re after a thoroughly modern and capable daily driver that just happens to perform like a sports car, then the BMW M240i at a starting price of £45,795 is an ideal choice. The Ford Mustang GT is a bit of a left-field choice but delivers strong performance thanks to its characterful V8 engine, and it can be had with a manual gearbox, prices start at £48,995.

Another superb and cost-effective choice is the Toyota GT86. It may not have neck-snapping acceleration, but it offers a lot of driving enjoyment and run-out models should be available from just over £23,000. Its replacement, the GR86, will offer a bit more power and tech, so may be worth the wait with prices expected to start at around £28,000.

The ageing Toyota GT86 is currently one of the very cheapest 4-seater sports cars you can buy, with prices starting from just over £23,000. While the Mini Cooper isn’t technically a sports car, it’s a feisty little 4-seater hot hatch that delivers a similarly exhilarating drive to the GT86, and in its mid-range Cooper S guise starts at £22,205.

For something a bit more modern than the GT86, the base Audi TT Coupe offers strong performance and a modicum of practicality thanks to a pair of very small rear seats. Prices start at £33,765 which just undercuts the recently launched BMW 2 Series in its base form. The newer BMW has a more advanced infotainment system though, and being rear-wheel-drive gives it a dynamic advantage in the corners.

In terms of top speed, the Bentley Continental GT Speed is capable of 208mph which is quicker than just about any other production 4-seater sports car. However, its 0-62mph time of 3.6-seconds is bettered by a handful of cars, including the BMW M5 CS which can complete the benchmark sprint in 3.0-seconds. But, like most German sports cars, it has a 155mph electronically limited top speed.

There are a number of sporty 4-seater convertibles out there, including the BMW M4 Competition Convertible, Mercedes-AMG SL Roadster and Bentley Continental Convertible. You can also have the Ford Mustang GT with a folding fabric roof, which really lets you enjoy the V8 soundtrack. 

The Porsche 911 can be had in both Cabriolet and Targa versions, with the former offering a fabric folding top and the latter a steel roof section that electronically descends into the rear of the car. Both are great for sunny days, while still retaining a sharp driving feel.
