15 Automakers That Can Perfectly Fill Your Two-Car Garage

One practical car, one fun car, both from the same company. It's a match made in heaven, and these are the automakers that can help you achieve that dream.

The NSX is a masterpiece. It's so good to drive that the people at our sister publication Road & Track named it their 2017 Performance Car of the Year. But this supercar can't fill every role. Luckily, Acura also makes the RDX A-Spec, meaning you can keep that sporty character while hauling the kids to school or running errands.

The GranTurismo is great because it looks good and sounds wonderful. That being said, it's not terribly practical. The Levante Trofeo uses a twin-turbo V-8 packing 590 horses, with SUV practicality for when you can't bask in the grand-touring charm of your coupe.

The R8 is one of the most practical supercars you can buy, but sometimes two seats just aren't enough. That's where the Q8 comes in. If you need to move people or a bunch of stuff, it's got you covered when the R8 just can't cut it.

One superlight tube-frame race car for off-roading, one superlight tube-frame race car for road courses. Do the Atom and the Nomad make the perfect enthusiast's combo? We think so.

Ferrari doesn't make an SUV yet, but it does offer the ultrapractical GTC4Lusso, with all-wheel drive and four usable seats. And when you don't need all that capacity, the 488 Spider is the perfect droptop mid-engined supercar to fill the gap.

This is a perfect two-car garage that won't break the bank. The Ridgeline is a delightfully capable pickup with tons of everyday usability. And the Civic Type R? Well, it's one of the best front-wheel-drive cars ever made. Plus, you can stick a Grom in the back of the Ridgeline and have a perfect two-cars-and-a-tiny-motorcycle garage.

With the addition of the Urus SUV, Lamborghini fans will no longer have to settle for a practical car made by a lesser brand. And with the Huracán Performante filling the other slot, there won't be any shortage of fun behind the wheel.

Really, you could pick any Colorado and any Corvette, but these are the ultimates. Thanks to trick Multimatic shocks, the Colorado ZR2 is an amazing off-roader with great on-road abilities. Also, it looks just right. The ZR1? It's a 755-hp weapon that blasted to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds in C/D testing.

The 4C is nice, but it doesn't leave you with much practicality. That's where the Giulia Quadrifoglio comes in. It's even faster than the 4C and comes with five seats and a real trunk.

In addition to making fantastic sports cars, Jaguar also makes competent SUVs. The F-Pace would complement an F-Type nicely in a garage for two.

The BMW i8 is about as close as you'll get to owning a spaceship: It's built out of carbon fiber, and it's fast enough to meet your sports-car needs. The X5 M is luxurious, comfortable, and will fulfill your practical needs when it comes to hauling people and things. The twist here is that the sports car gets better gas mileage than the SUV, and the SUV is almost as fast as the sports car.

The Shelby GT350 is an amazing performance car. Its foil is the F-150 Raptor, a truck that will blast through the desert and tackle the wilderness far better than the Mustang could ever hope to. Plus, good luck carrying any plywood in the back of your Mustang.

Mercedes took aim at the Porsche 911 with its latest AMG sports car, and it's spectacular. For a life of no-compromises awesomeness, pair it with the wagon version of the E63 AMG. It's only a tick slower than its sports-car stablemate, but it has room for the whole family.

Short of buying a full race car, the Porsche 911 GT3 is about as close as you can get to owning a dedicated track machine. But around town, the potholes and speedbumps probably won't be much fun, so why not fill your garage out with the still quite fast Macan Turbo? If you squint your eyes, you might even be able to convince yourself it's a hatchback.

If one Miata is great, two must be even better. With the ND Miata, Mazda will sell you a factory-built race car for a little more than $50,000. Paired with a street Miata, the duo is pretty much perfect. If you want more practicality, we're fans of the Mazda3 hatchback and the CX-5 SUV, too.
