5 Semi-sensible (and non-German) Sports Sedans

If you’re a motoring enthusiast who’s thinking about buying a semi-sensible sports sedan, you will have browsed through Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz’s wares by now. But what if you broaden your search to include brands from outside of Germany?

Admit it, if you’re a fiend for speed with a family to transport (which means that you need a car that not only offers evocative performance, but at least a smidge of practicality too), you’ve probably looked at German premium brands’ sports sedans on many occasions during your tyre-kicking endeavours.

And why wouldn’t you? Audi S- and RS, BMW M and Mercedes-AMG models are performance A-listers, well-made, have desirable badges backed up by credible sporting pedigrees and are based on tamer bread-and-butter models, so it’s easier to convince yourself that getting one is a sensible choice.
