Decep: you know .. here i've seen used in motorsports, track & rally, cars that don't fit your description way more often, then ones that do.
Golfs, pumas, fiestas, audi-s, sierras, astras, civics, escorts, corollas, old russian lada-s, some bmw-s, imprezas, evos, volvos. Often 3/5rd of them FWD, RWD being usually <1/6th, rest AWD, most often being initially normal family compact or full size cars, ones that are dual-used, often with full stock standard comfort features.
In sport even east germany trabant can be used. That won't make it sport car as manufacturer intended designing it. I may accept that something like CS-R3 twin IS sport car, but not original twins that oversell those actually real sport cars by three orders larger numbers.
You can use one in motorsports, you can modify one in specialised sport car, it may do better then many others .. but by far it's NOT sportcar. Cheap RWD coupe with relatively good handling, as toyobaru designed it and as most are buying it. I'm not sure that even 1/10 had ever been taken to track. Most are just simply daily driven & used/chosen in role as i described.
