Hmmmm... Chevette or Cossie for me right now...
Dammit, you've tapped into a vein that's risen to the surface lately - over the past few days I've been reading Sapphire Cosworth buying guides...
Good job I'm skint, or I soon would be!

Would normally go for the Cosworth but this time it comes a close 2nd as that 2002 Turbo looks the dogs.......  |

OK, here's my justifications..... Chevette: Definately cool, but I'm not a fan of the HSR "stick-on" styling.... Civic CRX - Still a bit too "rice" for me just yet.... Jetta just looks poo (sorry!)... Beetle: Well you may think me odd, but Beetles have NEVER appealed to me in any way...dunno why, maybe it the fact that the rest of the world think they're sub-zero that puts me off - apologies to all dubbers!! Datsun...again, does very little for me. Dunno why... Which chops the choice down to 3.... I'm really coming around to the whole "rods" thing right now. When I was younger I couldn't really understand what the point of them was, but I'm starting to get it now! So, close but not quite.... The Cossie Sierra was a proper dream car for me a few years ago, but when I got to drive a full on 300bhp version a few years back, I was left disappointed. KInda that "don't meet your heroes" thing...It was just what it was, a frighteningly fast Sierra. Still felt rattly and a bit lardy...  Certainly not as well balanced as some other fast-as-fcuk cars I've driven... So there can only be one. And (very predictably) its the 2002 turbo. Fast and amazing looking....  |

I chose the Rod as I have always loved the sound and the look of them, but it was a very close thing with the 2002. Never thought I would be a BMW person but after my sis got me my 535 I am a changed man. And the 2002 have always to me looked hard as nails.

Jetta for me,
Leave it looking as stock as possible, with very subtle lowering and lob a 1.8T motor under the front, or go at it full tilt and fit full G60 4x4 running gear ;D

I haven't driven any of the cars, so I can only judge based on their technical characteristics, and any similar models that I have actually driven (BMW 1602, Sierra XR4x4i, Golf I 1050, Integra 1.6, Kadett C 1.2).
240Z : It is said to be a great car, but you can't get any parts for it around here, so I wouldn't be able to drive it in the way it should be driven. Wouldn't afford running it either.
2002tii turbo : Nice car, scary handling. It's rarity means it's more of a classic car (classic as in show-use-only-please) than a retro car... Would be my second choice.
Cal-look Bug : Looks really nice and I have always wanted one exactly like this... But my hill-racer side would hate me if I chose it.
Cossie : The 3d Cossie has always been my favourite car... So this is what I choose ! Lots of power, can be made to handle really well, very reliable, every single part easily available... That's the car for me !
Jetta : Nice, but not exactly my cup of tea. Maybe in ten years time...
'32 : Certainly cool, but how does a V8 car with a front stiff axle handle ? I would surely get killed in that one...
CRX : As NickB said, they're currently more 'rice' than retro.
Chevette : We didn't get them around here, so I am not familiar with them. If they drive like fast Kadetts, they should be lots of fun, but are still slower and more primitive than a Cossie.

i'm a vee-dub kinda guy but that 'resto-cal' is just too textbook... "step one find black 60's beetle. step two lower it, step three empi 5's and a roofrack". the 240z and the 2002 are uber-cool in an american way. don't like the 240 wheels though. the crx is nice but nothing special, see too many of them - heck even my mate's mum had one don't like hotrods at all. it's a 'me' thing. i do like jettas but that one needed to be something special to make up for the hearing-aid-beige colour and it's not. put some polished design 90's and peel off the stripes and come back that leaves us with the cossie - bog standard and more testosterone than a coach full of bodybuilders. i have a thing about 'boring' cars with enough guts to embarass supercars - RS500's, Lotus Carlton and the like - and that flaots my boat. |

Has to be the '32, but not like that one! It should be seriously chopped, possibly still with fenders, but it should be on wider, 40s steel Ford wheels - no whitewalls, and just a straight plain paintjob. Also King Bee headlamps and Bluedots out back, plus a blown late 30s flathead with Lincoln Zephyr 'box. Now we're motoring!

I voted for the 2002, I've driven one and they are so much fun. You put your foot and think "Yeah, this is pretty quick", then the turbo spins up.
LAG-TASTIC!!
I would have voted for the Cossie, I always wanted to be Andy Rouse when I was younger, I'd be to worried about it getting nicked tho'.

I went for the Bug, they are my passion, but it was very close between the Bug and the CRX. say what you like about them being rice or chav or whatever, fact remains, they drive really well, and go like stink, in both the crazy 160bhp v-tec and the normal 125ish bhp forms, they are dead comfy too, infact I'm after some seats from one for my Bug, and they handle like a damn go kart. If in doubt, ask someone you know for a go in thiers (hey everyone knows a CRX owner ) |
