Sports car: Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
Base price: $55,925 - $59,525
Fuel economy: 16 City / 26 HWY

This is really the "Best Corvette" category since there's, literally, no competition. So, yes you can get Corvettes with more power and performance but they also cost more money. In the case of the 638-horsepower ZR1, make that "lots more money."

The Grand Sport drops right into that "value and performance" sweet spot. It's got plenty of power, just like the base Corvette, but with a wider stance and upgraded handling all for less than $60,000. And, unlike the Z06 and ZR1, it's available as a convertible.
