Economical Vs Sports Cars

It's the age-old question bugging car owners and buyers alike. Okay not really but it makes a big difference whether you go for the sports car or the economical hatchback. Everyone probably has their preference, but in this article I'll mention a few points you might not have though about it. It's time to compare an economical car to its 200+HP counterpart.
Economical cars
Economical cars are vehicles that can go really long per gallon of fuel, thus saving you lots of money. This is often accompanied by cheap service rates and very cheap insurance. Examples are Suzuki Alto, Opel Corsa and the new Toyota Prius. But apart from the finance benefit these cars also benefit from being easy to the environment. The CO2 gasses are very low. And they're often very practical vehicles as well. Most can fit at least 4 people and a fair amount of baggage. Of course it hugely depends on the type of economical car you go for, but generally speaking here.
But it's not all sunshine. Economical cars are not very fun to drive most. And the only bragging you can do with them is towards future Christian grand parents.
Sport cars
These are the automobiles that can travel at insane speeds and have that engine sound that gives every adult chills (and makes kids cry). Think of brands like Chevrolet, Aston Martin and Lamborghini. They are a lot of fun to drive. Every time you open the door your heart skips a beat and makes you love the moment. Other benefits are that these cars are really easy on the eyes, real lookers.
Now for the downsides, obviously they aren't very practical. Most fit two adults and that's about it. They're also very expensive to buy and maintain. Each service can cost thousands of dollars and be prepared to give it plenty of fuel at each gas station you find along the way, literally.
Versus
Now for the comparison, and the winner is... sports cars. They are literally a mistake to buy. They're insanely expensive, every scratch is an attack to the heart and they aren't very practical. But that's the beauty of it, isn't it? Because they're just so much fun to drive and every time you hit the accelerator you feel special and the clouds open up to present a new sunny day. Everyone around you watches you sealed with the approval of two thumbs up. Dads asking for your profession, admiration from kids and girls that are after your heart... or your cash.
But whatever happens. It's an effect you will never experience when you buy a car with your mind. It only really happens when you buy with your heart. That's when you truly feel alive.
