Quite like these.

Uncool.
 
One of the few times modifying a car will make it cooler. With the standard wheels and ride height, these look no different to non-car people than a Paseo or any other 90s sport econobox.

Pretty meh as is, although I do like them.
 
It looks like a DC2/S14 hybrid, but in a cheap and generic way - uncool.
 
Yeah, its similarity to the granny-spec Paseo sold here in the UK makes this look seriously uncool.
 
Fairly common here, mostly owned by boy racers who make them look like crap. Sub zero.
 
Terrible photo of a good looking car, though decent images are hard to come by I'm recalling...

Anyhow, cool in my book. I have a soft spot for goofy high revving engine. Bonus for not being sold State side.

What other people do with a car has no affect on it's coolness for me. I would make one look good like the bottom one in the pic above.
 
I especially like the BZR, but virtually any small car with ~157bhp per tonne seems like a good idea in my book (See Toyota 86).

Cool.

NOTE: Might've been Toyota's entry to hot hatchery if it were a hatchback, and if so would warrant sub-zero status, in my opinion.
 
20v is a treat, as is the 6M, but it may as well be a Civic. Big, fat Meh.

1997-2000 Toyota Sprinter Trueno / Corolla Levin BZ-R (AE111) nominated by @Murcie_LP640

View attachment 510542

Body Style: 2-door coupe
Engine: Toyota 4AGE 1.6L I4 (20v Blacktop)
Power: 165 hp
Torque: 119 lb-ft
Weight: 1050 kg
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Drivetrain: Front-engine, front wheel drive
Additional Information: In mid 1995 Toyota introduced the AE111 chassis Corolla, available in Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno styles, they were essentially the same car with only very minor body differences. The Corolla Levin/Trueno was offered in a sports model with the 4AGE 20 valve engine, a 1,600cc engine with 5 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and individual throttle bodies. Essentially Toyota's answer to Honda's VTEC engines, the 4AGE sends an impressive 121kW (165hp) to the front wheels from a 1,600cc non turbo engine via extremely efficient heads and lofty rpms.

The BZ-R was the top sports model of the range introduced in the mid-life update in 1997. Equipped with "Super Strut" suspension (essentially a hybrid between a MacPherson and multi-link setup), a limited-slip differential, and a 6-speed manual transmission, it made for a fun steer combined with the relatively light 1050kg kerb weight.​
