Ahhhhhh, I forgot that variant even existed, we don't get a ZHP in Canada, so I forgot about it. The best 3 series we get is the 330i Sedan M Performance Edition. It does 0-60 in 6.4 seconds (not good for a car that starts at $50,000 Canadian Dollars). It's gotta be a nice car to drive though, probably best thing available from BMW until you get into the price range of the mighty M3.
 
Ahem.

330i ZHP 6-speed, 0-60 in 5.9 seconds (BMW NA stat), 1/4 mile in 14.2 @ 97 mph (drag strip proven)

And supposedly, the 325iA does 0-60 in 8.1, which is definitely not slow for a car with its power rating, transmission, and size. The 3-series is, to me, a surprisingly quick line.
 
Lets not forget about the thread here ;]

Lincoln Town Car

Pro: Luxurious looking, presidential?, gangster-looking somehow.

Cons: never seen in any other color than black xD

next car: Honda Civic Si
 
Civic Si

Pros: perky engine that makes good sounds, cool rally style shifter, "unique" shape

Cons: a bit on the heavy, expensive side for what it is, "unique" shape

Next: Vauxhall VX220 Turbo


M
 
VX220

P: Very Agile, can compete with Vipers and Corvettes if there are tuns involved, Exotic Styling
C: Might be even better with slightly more power.

Next: Lotus Elise
 
Hmm, I guess you could call the 3 series line quick, sort of like a Miata. They aren't actually fast, but they give you that impression and are very fun to drive.

Now, back to the thread...

Lotus Elise

Pros: Small size = go kart handling. Good engine, good looks, and of course virtually no weight. A great sports car for the purist.

Cons: Small size = low intimidation. Handling one can be tricky due to high power and low weight.

And now, Aston Martin DB9
 
Pros: Sleek, beautiful, sexy british tourer
Cons: Expensive, not worth owning (for me I'd rather own a 911 GT3), too plush.

Next: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
 
Pros: Well, duh :dunce: , manual transmission, center hand drive.

Cons: Good luck finding, buying, and owning one.

Next: Subaru Forester 2.5XT :dunce:
 
Pros: Awsome styling (in my opinion) and a nice little sleeper of a car and pretty damn quick.

Cons: Wishing I had bought it instead of the WRX. Probably a little top heavy and not as nimble as it's brother, the Impreza.

Next car: Dodge "Neon" SRT-4
 
Dodge SRT-4

Pros: High horsepower for it's class, very quick car, great handling, good price, amazing car for autocross and daily driving.

Cons: Rims and brake calipers look a little cheap, FWD drivetrain, and that's all I can think of...

Next Up: Nissan 300ZX
 
Pros: Handsome, quick, and easy to drift.

Cons: Expensive, heavy, Mitsu 3000GT whoop this cars ass.

Next: Smart Roadster/Coupe
 
Pros: Tough, big, popular.

Cons: Rough, big, bulky.

Next: Lamborghini Jalpa (kinda old school, aint it?)
 
Pros: It's a Lamborghini so you won't see alot around. Its very cheap for an exotic. The handling is pretty good and the look is pretty good!

Cons: Maintenance Fee, and reliabilty.

Next: Acura RSX Type S
 
Pros: Small, rugged, and cheap.

Cons: Rugged, old, just released a 5-door version.

Next: Hyundai Accent GT [USDM]
 
Keep this game going...

Hyundai Accent GT

Pros: Air conditioning, very cheap around $ 11,121 dollars, SIDE AIR BAGS (important), also Side impact door beams. Great milage with 29 mpg/33 mpg.

Cons: No Standard ABS, No Standard Alarm, No Standard Automatic Transmission, No Standard Child Safety Locks, No Standard Traction Control, and its weak.

Next car: 2004 Toyota MR-S
 
Pros: Roomy (I'm 6'3 and I fit inside), Cute, and the chapest way to get a Sequential Automatic Transmission

Cons: No cargo room, styling too awkawd for some, a total downgrade from the previous generation.

Next: Daihatsu Terios 4X4
 
The Terios is nothing great, but Ill give it my thoughts.

Pros: Price, its not expensive. Practical. Roomy. And good visibility.

Cons: Looks! Weak! Space isn't abundant and it's quite heavy on fuel.

Next: Ford Mustang Cobra
 
Um, which Cobra? :confused:
But anyway the one that I'll be rating will be the 2004 SVT version:

Pros: Very fast (stock, 1/4 mi. only), long heritage, better looking than the Camaro ever was.

Cons: Dinosaur technology (til the 2005 comes out), Terrible gas mileage, soon to be gone.

Next: Daewoo Matiz :crazy:

It is not roomy. And very heavy on fuel(compared to cars in the same class and price)
Ya, agree on the looks(not bad) and its super slow even with 1.3L engine.

From reviews I have read , people say its quite roomy. Or at least comfortable.

Yes its very heavy on fuel.

Next: Daewoo Matiz

Whats with all these horrible cars!

Pro: Gas Milage.

Con: Looks, engine-power, no automatic transmission, alot more cons but I refuse to list anymore sense, it would take me days ;).

Next car: Nissan Sentra SE-R
 
Pros: The 2003 model, Altima engine (4-cyl), Fastest Sentra from the factory.

Cons: The 2004 model, the interior is less roomy than the Hyundai Accent, just like every sport sedan.

Ok, I'll give the 'everyday' cars a break.
Next: Wiegart-Vector W8
 
What in the blue hell is that?!

Give us a car that people would know of. I don't know what Wiegart-Vector W8 is sorry.
 
Vector W8

Pros: Huge power, exotic looks, can lay claim to being one of the few true American supercars

Cons: Kit car build quality, the kind of factory support that makes DeLorean Motor Cars look like Lexus, 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC

Next: Porsche 944 Turbo S


M
 
Porsche 944 Turbo S

Pros: The 944 looks outstanding with a blend of sporty appearance. The performance is excellent; it is a great track or streetcar. It is a Porsche! A lot of power from a four Cylinder, definitely a head turner, and has Porsche comfort.

Cons: Repair and maintenance fee can be quite pricy.

Next car: Ferrari 355
 
Pros: Good acceleration, rediculously excellent handling, great steering feel, great brakes.

Cons: Cramped interior. Unreliable.


Next: 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport (4.0L 5-speed manual w/ Command-Trac) ;)
 
Pros: Probably good off-road

Cons: Drinks like Clarkson, School-Runner-mobile usually driven by Essex mums.

MG ZS 180? (The FWD V6 Brit Impreza?)
 
///M-Spec
Cons: Kit car build quality, the kind of factory support that makes DeLorean Motor Cars look like Lexus, 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC

I read an article (in C&D or something) about the one guy in the US who fixes all the W8s produced. He says he sees all kinds of crap on forums just like this one about poor reliability and service for W8s, but the cars have been reliabile. They also independently interviewed three or four owners who said practically the same thing.
