Lotus Elise has been around since 1996, although it's chassis had been over 20 years, but Lotus keep improving and shave every ounce they can on this car with today's rules and regulations on cars safety and no doubt it is still the best recipe and most fun money can buy real driver's car.
Honda S2000 as the name suggested, it came out in year 2000, although it's been nearly 18 years old. But even in today's standard it is still one of the best lightweight sports car, due to it's high revving vtec engine and honda best gearshifter and it will definitely in history book as now in used market, the price has been skyrocket and it is very difficult to find 1 in most country, definitely a classic collectible.
Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ, these twins are built and collaborate between Toyota and Subaru, to go back to the root of real sportscar that makes driving fun!
They are definitely one of the most affordable lightweight sportscar money can buy today beside Mazda MX-5. Perhaps some of you car enthusiast / petrolhead like me know about Toyota Trueno AE-86 from initial D, and one of the most beautiful and expensive Toyota in auction house today, the Toyota 2000GT, which was also James Bond drive it in You Only Live Twice in 1967. These two classics are the recipe for the new cars, but with modern safety, rules and regulation.
I am fortunately to own 1 of these baby, and it's been 5 years I'm driving, and I'm definitely keep it for life no matter what car I'm changing to in future. In the last 5 years, I've test driven many cars and owned some new sedan, and until today many cars can't keep up with how it feels in this price range, but Lotus Elise / Exige is a step up from these cars, but then again, Price difference and some daily drivability sacrifice! But boy! Worth every penny, if you got the money! 😉
Mazda Miata MX-5 has a really long history, the first gen NA came out since 1989!! Current 4th gen ND still retain those old schools lightweight recipe, and they had been sold more than 1,000,000 units since 1989.
This 4th gen, looks much more agressive in person, esp the front view! not as cutey as old gens, but it is still a very beautiful, very well-proportioned roadster design, have I told you how fun it is to drive this car? It feels very similar to 86/BRZ, and I am lucky to test driven once, it can chuck into corner so easily and so fast.
The only thing I dislike compare to 86/BRZ was the steering is a tad lighter, but nothing beats Lotus steering's feel and response, due to it's none-assisted steering. But I have to agree that gearbox manual shifter is much more better feel, shorter throw and ease of use than 86/BRZ, it is up there with Honda, and even Porsche in terms of manual shifter. Overall it is a fantastic choice for a lightweight sports cars.
Alfa Romeo 4C Ohhh... Alfa Romeo... words can't describe how beautiful this thing is, look at it's sensual Italian body, Ferrari-esque design, in fact it is engineered by Ferrari/Maserati top engineers, and built in Maserati plant.
This car not only look like a mini-supercar, but it is a truly lightweight no bullshit sports cars, with the used of advanced carbon fiber as chassis monocoque which you only found in 3-5 times more expensive Lamborghini and McLaren supercars, this car is definitely a bargain.
This is 1 of my dream car, unfortunately I have yet test driven one, so I can't really comment how it drives, but reviews are kinda mix and match, pros and cons. So if any of you got experienced with this car, please chip in your idea down below the comment.
Thank you so much for reading.

莲花跑车Elise从1996年来，虽然底盘已经超过20年了，但莲花不断改进，每一两一两的减轻车的体重而且还符合今天汽车安全规定，毫无疑问，这仍然是钱买到最好和最有驾驶乐趣的跑车。
本田S2000的名称建议，它出来在2000年，虽然已经将近18岁。但即使在今天的标准中，它仍然是最好的轻型跑车之一。由于它是高转速的vtec发动机和本田最好的变速器，它将一如既往的历史记录。现今在二手市场上，价格一直很高，很多国家都很难找得到了，它绝对是经典的收藏品。
丰田 86 / 斯巴鲁 BRZ，这双胞胎在丰田和斯巴鲁之间建成并合作，回到真正跑车的根源，驾驶乐趣！
他们绝对是最便宜的轻便跑车之一除了马自达MX-5。也许你也像我一样是汽车爱好迷，从最初的 initial D 的丰田Trueno AE-86，今天在拍卖行中最美丽，最昂贵的丰田之一，丰田2000GT，也是詹姆斯·邦德在You Only Live Twice 里开的跑车，这两个经典是新车的配方，但具有现代化的安全，规章制度。
幸运的是，我拥有这辆跑车，而且我开了也有5年，无论今后我要换什么车，我一定会一直保留绝对不卖。在过去的5年中，我测试了许多汽车，并拥有一些新的轿车，直到今天，许多汽车跟不上这个价格范围内的感觉。但是莲花Elise / Exige是唯一可以比这车的，但再次，价格差异和一些日常驾驶性牺牲！如果你有钱！绝对值每一分钱！ 😉
马自达Miata MX-5具有悠久的历史，自1989年以来第一代NA出现！目前第四代ND仍然保留了这些旧学轻质食谱，自1989年以来已售出了100多万台。
这第四代，看起来比较凶猛一些，特别是前车头！不像旧的那么可爱，但它仍然是一个非常漂亮，比例很高的跑车设计，我告诉了你这车有多好开了吗？感觉与86 / BRZ非常相似，我很幸运地测试过一次，可以很容易地快速地进入角落。
与86 / BRZ相比，我唯一不喜欢的是转向盘有点太轻了，但是也没有什么能打败Lotus转向的感觉和反应，由于它没有任何辅助。但是我必须同意，齿轮箱手动换档器比86 / BRZ更好的感觉，更短的投掷和使用便利性，它与本田一样，甚至保时捷在手动变速箱方面也是如此。总体而言，这是轻便的跑车的绝佳选择。
阿尔法罗密欧4C 哦...阿尔法罗密欧...话不能描述这辆是多么的美丽，看看它哪性感的意大利魔鬼身材，法拉利式的设计，其实它是由法拉利/玛莎拉蒂顶尖的工程师设计的，建在玛莎拉蒂工厂。
这款车不仅看起来像一个迷你超级跑车，而且是一款真正轻巧无非话的跑车，采用先进的碳纤维作为底盘单壳，这通常要价格3-5倍的兰博基尼和迈凯轮超级跑车才有。这款车绝对是超值的。
这是我梦寐以求的1辆车，不幸的是我还没有测试驾驭，所以我无法真正评论它是如何驱动的，但有些评论说好与坏。所以如果你们中有任何人对这个车有经验，请把你的想法放在下面的评论里。
非常感谢你的阅读。
