The sports car has long been one of the most polarizing segments in the auto industry. There isn’t another type of vehicle that invokes the same feelings as a sports car. It could be said that the sports car is an ego boost for some, and for others, it’s a way to enjoy the ride more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sports cars are also some of the most popular cars<\/a> on the road, and the value of these vehicles tends to go up more than others over time. Cars like the Mazda Miata will always be popular because they present a fun-to-drive experience. We took a look at several popular sports cars that will become more and more valuable as time goes on right here, so enjoy the ride below. <\/span><\/p>\n

40: Infiniti G35 Coupe<\/h2>\n

The Infiniti G35 was a surprise hit for Nissan and the car shares almost all of its underpinnings with the Nissan 350Z. Even after all these years, the G35 coupe is still an attractive car. Its performance is great. It also has the added benefit of a backseat, something that the 350Z does not (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The G35 is a fairly popular used car<\/a> but prices haven’t reached nutty levels just yet. You can believe the price of a G35 will only increase as the car becomes more sought after. Consumers are starting to latch onto these older sports car models for a reason, and the G35 is appealing.<\/p>\n

39: 2006 MazdaSpeed 6<\/h2>\n

Just like the smaller MazdaSpeed 3, there was also a larger MazdaSpeed 6 that was introduced. The Mazda 6 did everything right as a sedan and offered a breath of fresh air from previous Mazda offerings. The interior of the Mazda 6 was more spacious and there were more luxury items to choose from (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The performance of the MazdaSpeed 6 was also quite improved over the standard model. This sedan performed like a sports car<\/a> in every sense of the word. Finding a MazdaSpeed 6 on the market is not going to be easy, as the car was rare and values will only increase over time.<\/p>\n

38: MazdaSpeed 3<\/h2>\n

The Mazda 3 was a breakout success for the company in the 2000s. Consumers couldn’t get enough of this fun-to-drive compact car<\/a>. The car prompted Mazda to introduce a performance version. The MazdaSpeed 3 came in a distinct red color and was offered with a stick shift (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The MazdaSpeed 3 is not as expensive as a lot of other sports compacts from this era currently are This means you can get a fun-to-drive car for next to nothing. The value of this car is going to gradually rise, though, as cheap, fun compacts become more scarce on the open market.<\/p>\n

37: Dodge Caliber SRT<\/h2>\n

The Caliber SRT is a compact sports car that few remember. It was on the market for a short period. After the Neon was discontinued, Chrysler needed a compact sports car to fill that void. So the Caliber SRT was introduced but the boxy-shaped sports car didn’t quite click with consumers (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Sales were slow and you’ll seldom find an SRT version of the car on the road, making it an extremely rare collector’s item<\/a>. The Caliber SRT was not particularly fast either, it’s just the rarity that makes the car interesting. It is still an authentic SRT model in every sense.<\/p>\n

36: Dodge SRT-4<\/h2>\n

Dodge shocked the world when the SRT-4 was introduced. The bite-sized sports car<\/a> was a far cry from the rest of the lineup. Not only did it have exciting performance, but it also came with interesting features like a built-in speaker box in the trunk. These are items that you wouldn’t expect an automaker to throw in, but Chrysler did (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The SRT-4 became a hit with people who wanted something fun but affordable. These days, the car has become a highly sought-after collector’s item because of its rarity. You’ll still find these on the market, but they have been beaten up and have a lot of mileage on them, so the price of a clean example has been steadily increasing.<\/p>\n

35: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo<\/h2>\n

The 2000s were a strange time for Mitsubishi. The Lancer was a completely new design, but the company wanted to jump on the popularity of the cheap sports car fad<\/a> and the EVO hit the market. This all-wheel-drive sports car was rally-inspired and had some serious breakneck performance coupled with an attractive paint job (via Car & Driver<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Lancer is not as popular as the Subaru WRX but is just as well-known. The car has been featured in “The Fast and the Furious” movies<\/a> and there are plenty of them on the used market. The EVO is already an expensive ride, but you should be prepared to see these values double as time goes on.<\/p>\n
