A sports car is a type of automobile designed for sporting performance. While opinions differ as to the exact definition, most sports cars have two seats and two doors, and are designed to provide excellent handling, acceleration, top speed, and good looks. A sports car is a car whose dominant design consideration is driving pleasure. The ideal sports car is capable of both transportation and racing service. A sports car's compromise between road holding, braking, maneuverability, low weight, power, reliability, comfort, passenger space, economy and etc. is intermediate between that of a sedan and that of a racing car. A car is generally considered a sports car if it gives up comfort and passenger space for handling, by having a low roof. This definition has the advantage that a sports car can be identified simply by seeing how high it is. A sports car will not usually turn over when driven hard with racing tires, while a sedan or "truck" usually will. On the other hand, (at least the original) Ford Thunderbird, though low, is not generally considered a sports car because its suspension emphasizes comfort above handling. Sports cars can be fairly luxurious or spartan, but neither comfort nor cost may be achieved at the expense of driving pleasure.
