"I believe that a sports car is a car that has only two doors, a very fast engine, premium leather and Bose or better sound system, and a car that raises your insurance bill."
Well, not exactly. A sports car, for insurance purposes, has to meet certain requirements that are often industry standards, but may vary between insurance carriers. Make, model, engine, horsepower, usage statistics, etc. are all factors that determine what constitutes a sports car.
Most often, sports cars are two door vehicles with powerful engines. Cars like Mistubishi Lancer Evo, on the other hand, is a four door and is still considered a sports car by most insurance companies.
Also, sound system has nothing to do with a car being a "sports car."

Not all sports cars are fast. What makes a car fast is a compilation of great engine power, aerodynamic, brakes (improves handling), down-force and a couple of more factors.
sports cars are faster than an economy car so they think you will speed and that makes you more likely to get in an accident
The horsepower of true sports car varies greatly. It can be less than 100 HP. to more than 500 HP. Horsepower is not what makes a car a sports car. A true sports car is a small performance and nimble handling car that may be spartan or luxurious but high maneuverability and minimum weight are requisite. The term Sports Car is used to describe cars that are not really sports cars by the true definition.
That depends on the model. Saturn made the SC, which was the "sports coupe", could be considered a sports car; and the Sky was definitely a sports car.
The Ford GT is a Sports Car.
There is no irish sports car

Basically, the sports car is for sports. That means it has a higher top speed, better acceleration, better cornering, lower gravity point, and more expensive, more durable materials have to be used to manufacture it. The "other kind" of cars are produced to be comfortable and functional, but not to perform as a race car.
You will have to expect to pay more for car insurance for a sports car than a sedan. In California it is around the average for a sports car.
It is defintely considered a sports car! Actually it's a "sports coupe". The term sports car is in the eye of the manufacturer. There are no direct qualifiers.
Saturn's Sky model is a sports car. SEAT's 850 Spider model is a sports car manufactured in Spain. Sylva's J15 model is a sports car manufactured in England.
