Choosing the right fun car for you
The term 'fun car' is one that's subjective as we're sure you can appreciate, but we believe a fun car should be engaging to drive, great to look at, and it should preferably have a powerful engine.
To help you choose the right car for you, we've highlighted our recommendations below. We've broken them down into three categories to make life easier:
- Small cars
- Family cars
- Sports cars
Small fun cars usually offer a great blend of performance and affordability, while fun family cars make sense if you have children but want something that will brighten up the school run. Sports cars are dedicated to driving fun, so naturally they need including.
Best fun small cars
Ford Fiesta
The Fiesta has been a best-seller in Britain for a while now, and that's because it's fun to drive and affordable to run.
Mazda2
You don't need to spend a lot of money to have a fun little car, as the Mazda2 proves with its agility and spritely engines.
MINI Hatchback
There aren't many cars that offer the same driving dynamics as a MINI, you just need to be prepared to compromise on practicality.
Suzuki Swift
The Swift is one of the most affordable cars you can buy and run, making it good value for a fun car.
Best fun family cars
BMW 3 Series
The 3 Series is one of the leaders in this class because of its upmarket interior, punchy engines and engaging driving manners.
Ford Puma
The Puma is technically a Ford Fiesta underneath, which is why they're fun to drive. The clever boot and spacious cabin are a bonus.
MINI Clubman
In essence, the Clubman provides the fun you'd get in the MINI Hatchback, but with a larger interior and bigger boot.
Volkswagen Golf
The Golf is a popular choice because it feels like a more expensive car than it is, yet is still affordable to run.
Best fun sports cars
Audi TT
Looks may be subjective, but we think the TT looks stunning. And being an Audi, it's plush inside and easy to drive.
BMW 2 Series
Regular 2 Series models offer strong performance alongside a balanced chassis. They're also surprisingly practical.
Mazda MX-5
Arguably the definitive affordable sports car, the MX-5 offers driving thrills without costing a small fortune to run.
Toyota GT86
The GT86 was pitched as a driving enthusiast's car, which it achieves thanks to a balanced chassis and eager engine.
