TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Nissan 370Z is an old-school sports car that handles and accelerates well but feels like the dated design that it is.

Like a featherweight champion, the 2020 Subaru BRZ proves lighter and smaller can sometimes be superior.

The 2020 Toyota 86 has its flaws, but it's still a fun small sports coupe.
