Was the Starion a sub-compact???

I had a Dodge Colt aka Mitsubishi Mirage I think.

*tomato* · 04-06-2009, 06:09 PM

Without hesitation, the

Honda CRX.

I had this one:

the HF (fuel efficiency model) , 5 sp.

I wish Honda hadn't discontinued the CRX model. What a fun car that was.

By the way ...

Sorry, I've been dying to use that thing for a while ;)

^ well, you asked ! lol

BTW, I drove the Renault 5 (stock) a long time ago. She wasn't the sportiest but pretty responsive and fun to drive. Kind of like a first gen. Honda Civic (the little box).

I loved my little four-speed Nissan Sentra coupe-1983.
But it was hardly a performance car. Of those available in the
U.S. I'd have to pick the Nissan Z cars or the Mazda RX-7.

Gotta go with the CRX or the Rabbit (diesel), too!

Black Yaris · 04-06-2009, 08:29 PM

Rabbit diesel

The Toyota Corolla 1.6 GTi.

My parents did have a Toyota Corolla 1.3 though but what a smooth ride that was.
All those European shitty cars then (now too) were much slower.
A lot of VW Golfs and Opel Kadetts with much bigger engines were so slow that even my dad pulled the young car owners off at traffic lights.
The car had a much more modern styling and a way higher quality.
But thats nowadays an well known fact too
