Much as the idea has crossed my mind (more than once), I reckon it would

manage to both make the experience special and ruin it simultaneously.

Fabulous engine / terrible fuel consumption / Wonderful handling / crap

dealers. It`s a very fine balance between fantastic and terrible.



Might consider a 2.4 JTD however :-)

Those are nice. I can`t think of much else in that class, except for

maybe an Audi Cabriolet (older, but that doesn`t seem to be an issue).

Ugh, just... no. They`re horrid to drive, a waste of a good engine.

Reliant Robin?

Early 80s Mercedes SL?
