Cool. Allow me to venture some options that everyone will /hate/.



Punto HGT, cheap for age and spec, ditto Xsara VTS - good engine, nice

handling, fucking ugly, grim interior.



MX5 1.8 Sport?

406 Coupe V6 or 2.2HDi?



Celica VVTi?

There are two main groups of people: those who know cars, and those who don’t. When it comes to judging the cars other people drive, the slants of these two groups really couldn’t be any further apart than they are. Either you care, or you don’t; it’s literally as simple as that. And while there are many, many subgroups within the “those who know cars” group, I really don’t feel like getting into it all here. (Right now, anyhow. Maybe another day.)
