High monthly payments? It's a $30-40K car, they're not that high. You should know if this is going to be a problem before purchase.

Insurance? It's a sports car and might be more expensive than your average sedan. Get a quote. You should know if this is going to be a problem before purchase.

Something else that helps is not using your phone in the car.

Unwanted attention? Most cops aren't gunning to bust sports cars exclusively. Drive with courtesy and speed within reason you shouldn't have any more trouble than any average vehicle. That being said, a red sports car is probably going to attract a little more attention than a gray sedan.

Complaints from significant other? Generally speaking, you should know if this is going to be a problem before purchase or before you get too serious in a relationship.
