The Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ are upgraded for 2022.
They drive much the same, but Subaru made more changes to keep the rear end planted, while the 86 is easier to drift.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is the closest rival, though it’s a convertible instead of a coupe.
It has similar power and always delivers a fun drive.
The Hyundai Veloster N is a fun machine in its own right, with a sharper edge, more power, and a stiffer ride.
Both the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang offer sporty drives as well, though they’re larger, more powerful, and offered in both coupe and convertible form.
