    pretty much in line w/ crowd so far..

    if it's gotta be FWD, then it should be a good one.

    Now that I think about it - it's the sort of car also available w/ AWD that I'd really like.

    TT variant ('hate' how I like those)
    Golf variant (r32)
    then

    MINI variant

    also confessing toward Jap option going immediately to a nice Integra (damn reliability/balance of product!)

    Was there some kind of loophole or exception for AWD cars that I missed in the introduction, as I could have sworn that the R32 was AWD?

    Same generic responses for me:

    New:
    -Mazdaspeed3
    -Turbocharged Mini Cooper S

    Old:
    -Intregra Type R
    -Original Mini

          I agree that they are fast cars--one beat my friends supercharged mustang-- but in the end, you still have to drive home in a neon. A fwd car will never be a fun car in my book, so I made my decisions based on how good you can make them look.

              It is. For 2WD you're stuck with a standard Golf/GTI 1.8T or 2.8L VR6

                      Yeah man, anything goes. Don't think for a second that if I did get a Mini, I wouldn't mod the hell out of it.

                      And to whoever commented on that GTi I posted being the H&R build, that's why I chose it. That thing is badass.
