Subcompact dream garage - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thirty-Nine · 08-18-2009, 03:03 PM

I know most people probably don't use the word "subcompact" and "dream" together often, but I do! I was thinking of some of the subcompacts I'd love to obtain someday. Here's my list:

1. 1980s Dodge Colt GTS/Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo
2. Early 1990s Suzuki Swift GT
3. Subaru Just 4WD
4. Toyota Starlet (w/built 3TC or 4AGE)
5. Chevy Sprint Turbo

I'd go with:
Abarth Fiat 500
and
1986 or 1987 Omni Shelby GLH-S' (over 14 psi turbo with the stage ll module)

My dreams don't usually involve subcompacts but I'd say...

1) Opel Corsa OPC
2) Renault Turbo 5
3) Chevy Sprint Turbo

Fiat 500 Abarth.

An iQ and a Daihatsu Copen and I'd be all set.

Nope. I can actually obtain the vehicles I posted above. I cannot go to a Suzuki dealership and buy a new Swift, new bB, or VW Polo.

Perhaps it's a generational thing, but none of the 70s or 80s subcompacts really stand out to me. When I think of small, my personal musings are fixated on Austin Healey Sprites, MG Midgets, Triumph Spitfires, and Minis.
