The "what other cars have you owned" thread, sort of started me thinking.
If you were in the market today, for a new daily driver/commuter car, what would you buy?
I have always liked the styling of older iron more than most newer cars, but recently there have been some impressive offerings.
#1 on my list is the new Mini cooper S.
My Dad recently bought one and I have put about 300 miles on it myself. We have entered the car in a couple of rallies, and I have been the driver while he navigates.
Everything you have read about this little car is true. It is a speedy little go cart and an absolute joy to drive.
#2 is the Subaru WRX, here is yet another very impressive performer,,,and it has a strong aftermarket of go-faster parts available.
#3 is the ford mustang GT. The car is priced reasonably, is still rear wheel drive with a V8 drivetrain, and is one of the few new American cars I can think of available with a 5 speed manual trans.
