<-------Car here

Love:
Sound of the motor in vtec.
I can go with or with a roof to my destinations.
RWD

Not liking so much:
placement of the cup holder (its right behind the shifter)
Tank size (11 gallons ftl. My MINI was 14 gallons)
Changing a bulb in the headlight assembly. (No you can't just "pop the hood;" you have to remove the fender liner and go through there)

Love

1. The sound is amazing even with the stock exhaust
2. It's RWD
3. Everyone thinks it's a 316 compact with bodykit




Hate

1. The gas mileage especially here in Germany (I complain all the time!)
2. Speed limitation at 230 km/h (dunno how much it's in mph)
3. no differential lock, which makes it hard sometimes to drift


I def love it more than I hate it, it's a european car so there's nothing wrong with it technically.....the paintjob has to be redone....that'd be the worst for now.

1993 Miata
+'s:
1] Cheap, very light, tiny, short wheelbase, RWD, 5 speed, Inline, oil squirters, DOHC, non-interference, 4v, wasted spark, 90's Japanese car; so its "reliable", gets good mileage, etc.
2] A/C works; convertable gets the heat out quickly after parking it
3] Bolt ons do wonders for it...flywheel makes it feel like a completely different car, coil-overs make it handle awesome...a turbo would kick ass though.

-'s:
1] Its RETARDED slow
2] Hasn't been as reliable as it should be
3] Differential is dismally weak...tranny is respectable...at least the engine is built to hell from the factory

1988 Turbo Supra
+'s:
1] Best combination of price, RWD, 5 speed, turbo, potential, looks, safety, reliability, comfort, ease of working on, torquey, IMO best sounding...etc. + everything from above except small and light
2] Never had to tow it...even with the shoddy current setup, it made it home from Tampa tagless no problem, even with boost..to and from Naples without the slightest hickup..extremely comfortable ride, even better than today's cars
3] Once you hit 3750 RPM, it doubles its power...the sounds, the torque, the feel....

-'s:
1] Stupid freakin crossover intake/intercooler piping design
2] Underappreciated; people doubt its dependability...even the parents wont let me take it anywhere, despite the whole Naples and back thing
3] Shoddy current setup, sooo much to fix. Restoration will be a blast, but loads of work
