The list of best coupes under $100,000 these days is full of some of our favorite cars on sale, period. That’s no surprise, as we’re all huge fans of sporty vehicles with questionable utility here at Autoblog. This list is capped at $100,000, largely to keep things in the reasonably attainable realm. If you want and can afford a McLaren 750S coupe, we’re not going to tell you no, but the decisions get much more difficult when it might be an only car or you’re working with a tight budget.
Of course, the definition of a “coupe” is even a controversial one these days. We have crossover coupes and plenty of four-door sportbacks that manufacturers like to call coupes, but we’re going to keep things simple here.

That you can hop into one for just $69,995 to start is downright criminal. A fully-loaded 3LT might extend into the upper $80,000 range, but even that isn’t a bad deal for what you’re getting.
Subaru BRZ
Pros: More comfortable than GR86; super-fun to drive everywhere; affordable sports car
