For Like Caterham, Westfield has switched to Ford Sigma engines, and even this basic model is a hoot. Fast, tactile and fun, this is all you’ll need for weekend thrills.
Against The chassis can cope with more power, and the Westfield needs a garage - there are no security features to speak of. Build quality can fall short of a Caterham's.
What Car? says
The basic Sport is keenly priced and a good entry point into motoring at its most visceral and fun. The engine lacks torque, but is enough to exploit the brilliant chassis.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Westfield says that the Sport is ‘tailored for touring’, but that’s relative. What it means is that you can have a heated windscreen, some carpets, a pair of side windows and a roof if you really don’t like the rain. It’s still no tourer, but fortunately it does provide the thrills you’d expect of a track-honed, stripped-bare racing car for the road - whatever engine you choose. Available with three power outputs, all provide brisk performance, but handling finesse is what the Sport is all about. The steering is sharp and provides all the feel you’d want, and the rear-wheel-drive chassis is poised and balanced. If you’d like to save a few thousand pounds and fill a good few weekends, you can build your own - and Westfields hold their values well, so look after it and it will be a sound investment as cars go.
