Default What would you choose ?

Lets say if you get a choice between these cars what would you choose.
Think of it as this might be your next car and these are your only choices.
Performance, Fun, Cost, and Image should be considered.
Give a reason why you made the decision.

Isuze WRX
Honda S2000
Audi TT
Toyota MR2 Spyder
Mazda RX7
Toyota Supra
Mazda Miata
Honda Prelude
cheap Honda Civic

I agree.
Myself is proud owner of the finist driving muchine.
But very Sad because of this stupid weather and missing out.
It brakes my heart to watch my car sitting in the garage.
That't one big bad thing about s2k. You cannot enjoy in the snow.
I imagine most of s2k drivers have a beater for secondary car.
Cause I do.

jesus people - get some snows!!

i think the people that haven't tried driving in winter (on snows) are the ones that keep putting forth the notion that you can't drive it in winter - it's a false notion - i've been doing it for 2 years now (as have many others) - no problems.

of course, there are other reasons why people may store their cars...but, not being able to drive it in winter should not be one of them.

we're driving a car with VERY low torque - that's a very good trait to have in a winter car.

just my thoughts...

Isuzu WRX - Bang for the buck, but ugly
Honda S2000 - Bang for the buck, street legal go-cart!!!
Audi TT - Luxury, very well rounded performer, style!!!
Toyota MR2 Spyder - doesnt look as good as they used too.....
Mazda RX7 - classic, a little extra cash and look out!!
Toyota Supra - classic, a little extra cash and look out!!
Mazda Miata - Go cart handling, not much punch
Honda Prelude - too plain
cheap Honda Civic - Its a cheap honda civic

phunball,

about the S8...yeah, i know, but we're a little weird up here - the S8 is our weekend/baby coming soon car
(there was NO way i was going to be caught driving in a minivan)

westsidebilly,

like i said previously, i understand that there are MANY resons why people store their cars for winter - i just happen to not store any of mine - AT ALL

btw, for your concern about ice - get blizzaks - i did!!!

regards.

ps - i think the 3 cars we have provide a PERFECT variety from which to satisfy all of the criteria posed in the initial question of this thread.

I meant to say suburu instead of isuze. My bad, you know they all sound alike.
I have no problem driving during winter season.
But frayed of damaging my car from huge ass pot holes and rock salt.
That's the reason I have the beater 88 honda prelude. Awesome for winter driving.
