The 330, 323, 325 verts look eye appealing.

Family car. Two little boys and the wifey

Looks like the Jeep takes the cake for those you mentioned
Something that still has a nice body style.

Mustang looks nice. It looks like a nice summer car for the family. Jeep has always been a favorite of mine. Could purchase an old one and the body style hasn't changed much. Not really looking for a touring type of car where I will be traveling much. I live roughly 30-40 minutes from the beach. Less then 30 from B-Gardens, Aventure Island, Less then 2 hours from Orlando.

1975 -1979 vw beetle standard vert. w/ fuel injection

plenty of room and eye catching with plenty of parts availability and upgrades...

As much as I like the vdub bug from the 70's or older cause my Grandfather had like 5 of these there is no way I'd be rocking one now.. hehe. Not my cup of tea. Too small for a family of four for the summer time especially when you want to hull lots of stuff to the beach or where ever.


Edit:

Though I wouldn't mind so much a VDub Rabbit, Cabrio, Cabriolet, Golf. Even though they are kinda small, but they do catch my eye. They just don't have enough space to hull stuff around.

late 90s Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0 Inline six and half doors. My dad had one as I was growing up and it was awesome. First car I ever drove out on the trails. They only get 17mpg or so, insurance isn't cheap, limited cargo room without an aftermarket cargo rack, and the brakes suck, but driving with the top down completely negates any problems they may have. I don't even know why the insurance sucks, they have a high rollover rate, but they also have a factory roll cage.

this doesn't catch the eye? lol... plus it has the same room inside as a older rabbit,cabrio and golf... and the resale value only goes up...






they also make racks for the vert to carry stuff...



and they can tow...
