Ideas for next car, spoiled sick by my celica Options

[xkillerx]

Hello 6GC folks,

I've been an extremly satisfied owner of a 1.8 ST for more than three years now.

Reasons for me being EXTREMLY HAPPY with it:

* goes like stink (+considering its powerplant+)
* corners like on rails
* looks smoking hot
* wonderful, almost luxurious interior craftsmanship
* practical for four, perfect for two
* minimal consumption (for a sports car)
* NEVER, EVER BREAKS DOWN
* cheap to own, drive, register and insure


However I'm considering getting something fresher, but I am not willing to sacrifice much of the above just for getting a new car.

Some of the vehicles I've tried so far and was unsatisfied with:

Nissan 350Z

+ quick
+ luxurious
+ beautiful
+ not a target for theft
- insurance nightmare
- rear wheel drive only
- luggage space tight even for two
- generally horribly inpractical


Subaru forester non turbo

+ plenty of space
+ plenty of kit
+ dependable all wheel drive
- horrible consumption
- so ****ing slow
- almost flipped it when tried tight cornering
- bland, cheap feeling interior


Subaru Impreza regular

just ****. next please.


Subaru Impreza WRX

+ so ugly that it's sooo prettyyy for me
+ goes like stink
+ corners like mad
+ practical for five
- horrible consumption
- horrible, cheap feeling, bland interior


5th gen Celica alltrac

+ good looking in black
+ dependable 4WD
+ nice interior
- heavy
- very slow despite its engine
- pop up headlights
- even older than my current car


Mazda 6 diesel MZR CD

+ looks sweet
+ plenty of space and kit
+ MZR has top notch interior
+ supposedly bulletproof reliability
+ very economical
- ford diesel torquey but not really quick
- it's a ****ing family car



Cars I would so much like to test but can't find here. The +/- are my IMAGINERY ASSUMPTIONS - if you had these cars please correct me


Mazda RX8

+ goes like stink
+ beautiful inside and out
+ practical
+ fantastic handling for a rear wheel drive
+ seems to be cheap abroad
- horrible consumption
- very questionable reliability
- no trained service personel



Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8

+ fastest, period
+ nice interior, pretty exterior
+ LEGEND
+ practical for five
- maintanence nightmare
- expensive to get
- consumption nightmare


Toyota Supra

+ LEGEND
+ FAST
+ BEAUTIFUL
- can't import since it's not euro3
- hard to find a non modded well kept for a decent price
- even harder to find non UK or US



Toyota Celica 6th Gen GT4

+ all of the above as my car, plus even faster, and a bit prettier
- maintenance, upkeep, consumption
- can't import since it's not euro3
- hard to find non UK, US



There you go. Start your brainstorming!

if I were you I would not get another FWD car. RWD or AWD would be very fun, and a nice change.
My first choice is MR2 turbo, but i'm not sure if you mind having a 2 seater.
I like Impreza 2.5rs, because they are only 2 door. Interior is boring, but not crappy.
MX5 is definitely fun, but I could not handle the gay jokes.
I know nothing about opel speedster but it looks awesome.
s2000 can look amazing with hardtop, wheels, and kit. absolutely no bottom end, but still very fun when sliding around while revving at 8000rpm.
