b4 my mx3 i used to have a 95 suby, man i loved that car and i wanted to start modding it so bad b4 i destroyed it. even tho i will never get my dream car(skyline r34) i really like the m3's or a 93-00 suby with a monza body kit as well. but man if i didnt have my mx3 i would most likely be driving either a G2 Integra, a crx or a 92-95 civic coupe.

I have always loved the Lotus Elise. RX-8 or Speed3 would kick too. The ones you mention are sexy too. Del Sol, and Corrado. I love tiny coupes. :D I would never own a vehicle taller than me.

*Edit
Unless its a luxury, then I'll take 'em as big as they come :wink:

I would either get a 1998-99 Mitsubishi GT, or a 2000 Honda Prelude Si. And on the luxury side, a 2005-07 Acura TL.

O.k. well I already also drive a 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX V-8(gas hog). However if i had a choice I would be driving an 88' BMW. Not just any BMW, but the (almost) perfect (E30) M3. What a car. Now, I guess if I had the money I would also have to get the new 416+ H.P.(naturally aspirated stock 4 liter v-8) Bmw M3. (Oh ya they both would need a turbo).

Poor Fowljesse- lol

Here's my chance to ask an off-topic question that couldn't come up otherwise.
When looking into buying my 1st MX-3, I wanted an MR2, but when looking on the net, like 1/3 of them were rolled over. Why? I thought they handled well, and don't seem like a car that could go downside up..

If there was a dream option I would swing to the luxury side, like BMW's 7 series or something along those lines...

In the real world it went from MX-3 to Jetta VR6, and that will do for me! :D

Good question .. probably a combination of:

1) RWD/mid engine could mean snap oversteer if you're a noob driver; oversteer can easily turn the car sideways and encourage a rollover (ie. off the side of the road, hitting the curb, etc)
2) owners don't sell them unless they're badly damaged
