Coupes average $1,577 a month in complete monthly cost, among the higher averages CarCostCX tracks, largely due to higher insurance costs on performance-oriented vehicles. Three models break from that pattern.

The Complete Monthly Cost Breakdown

The 2026 Ford Mustang EcoBoost ranks first at $986 a month, 37.5% below the segment average. The 2026 Toyota GR86 Premium ranks second at $1,102 a month, and the 2026 Subaru BRZ Limited rounds out the top three at $1,130 a month. All three are genuine performance coupes, not economy models wearing a sportier body style, which makes their position at the top of the value rankings notable.

Insurance costs across the top three stayed close to the broader market average rather than spiking the way some higher-performance coupes in the segment do, which is the main reason these three beat the category average by such a wide margin.
