Guilty Pleasures - Cars you shouldn't like but do anyway.

[Exodus_2pt0]

No shame. I love these and with a few small mods they can be insanely tossable and fun to drive.




SVT Focus. Owned one for 7 years. One of the best cars Ive ever owned.

FWD doesn't bother me. Setup well it can behave very well and is quite predictable near the limit.

My only gripe with FWD is when you get past the 300whp range. Under that though, I had no issues with my FWD vehicles. Moving forward though, FWD will be limited to daily drivers. I still wouldn't mind a Focus or Fiesta ST, but I feel no shame in that.

I'd have to disagree on your cons. they don't come with cut springs. and everything else you mentioned is subjective to your liking.
and their high performance motors don't have to produce wads of powa. What motor are you referring to as the 1 motor in however many years?
from my understanding they've made motors such as the b18, f20, and k series motors. these are fairly quick. and slow, well sure stock, but modified like any m42 or m20, they can pull just fine.

The honda f and k series are imo their only performance engines since their f1 era. And even then, both are incredibly lacking in torque. A lot of hp on a high comp. engine is cool and all, but without any torque it's not usable. As for quick, that's obviously personal opinion.
Stock e30's are not fast.

^Exactly what I was going to say. no problem with fwd for me. I've driven a 02 ford focus and it was fun and peppy. an SVT would've been nice to drive.

well f1, yea that's HIGH performance. and yes they can be quick personal opinion or not for what they are. like I said they don't get the credit they deserve.

Exodus 2pto, I had a 1997 GSX. It still holds a special place in my heart.

I like Fords - Contour SVT, Focus SVT, Sport Trac.

Very obviously...

The community though. My god, it's rampant with idiots. Not to mention the automatic branding you get when you drive one... I've met a few decent owners, but most want to race you from every red light. Miss the car dearly, but nothing else about the "scene" lol

My old car


I absolutely LOVE the 2nd gen CTS-V Coupe. It's so fat in the rear, it's kinda akward looking, but there's just something about it...

Don't know if it's been mentioned but

IROC-Z Camaro

[BobombETA]

^ Came here to say the same thing.

I like a well done 3rd generation F-body:

[mbonder]

Yeah it's probably a product of growing up in the 80's

[e30jake]

Sentra SE-R
SR20 from the factory and (for the time) pretty quick little cars.

[GreatWhite]

Solstice Coupe GXP. Great styling, very healthy 240hp turbo 4-banger. Never got much love though (and were only produced for like 1-2 years before Pontiac was KO'd)

I'm totally a fan of GXP. My brother gives me crap about it constantly.

Also, MGB GT. Love love.

[red2.4srt]

Definitely agree with the Sentra SE-R, good pick!

The Outback SUS Sedans always catch my eye, don't know that i'll ever own one, but I do like them
