On the Volvo vs. BMW, I'd choose the Volvo again. The BMW has a lot more miles and some of those were more than likely driven hard. And also because I'm not an M fan, except the newer M3's.

On the Fit vs. Civic, I'd take the Fit if I could get it in a different color (red, white, or black) but if not, I'll have the Civic. Both are probably pretty safe choices, although I don't really like the 2006-now Civics all that much.
 
Audi Allroad 2.7T '05 vs. Volvo XC70 3.2 '08 - XC70. Larger engine, newer model, more interesting design, and to top it all off, less mileage.

Volvo 850R Auto (80k mi) vs. BMW M3 Sedan E36 Auto (122k mi.) - 850R. I hate this model of the M3. The M3 has higher mileage anyway!

Honda Fit Sport '13 vs. Honda Civic LX-S '10 - The Fit, I usually take the newer one.
 
Don't like the Civic and I think the new Fit/Jazz is actually quite a good looking car so Fit it is.
 
Fit vs Civic
I'll take the Fit. It's one of the cars that I hope will be my first car. :)
 
XC70 vs. Allroad: XC70, better looking, less miles and isn't an Audi.

850R vs. M3: 850R, I've always had a thing for R badged Volvo's.

Civic vs. Fit: The last Fit I drove was slow, heavy and hard to see out of. I expect way more out of the car than it gave me so I'm really turned off to it. I'm not a huge fan of the newer generation of Civic's but they are good at doing what they do, so I'd have that.
 
Fit/Jazz v Civic -> The Fit all the way! Its the only (new) Honda that I'm still keen on. And the only Honda thats holding the (traditional Honda) flame.

Drove one for about a week. It was a manual transmission too. Really fun car actually

I drove one for a day, fun car, didn't give it the beans but it certainly felt pretty nimble, gear throws were long as hell though and the clutch pedal travel just as long
 
My parents have a manual Fit which I drive occasionally, and I love it. It's fun to drive but also incredibly versatile, and gets 40 mpg on the highway.
 
Which would you pick:

Audi TT 1.8T 160 (£26,065)

Peugeot RCZ GT THP 200 (£23,980)

Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TSI 210 GT with DSG (£26,167)

Toyota GT86 (£24,995)

For me, even though I like Audis, I would take the GT86.
 
Toyota GT86: I was thinking between TT and GT86 but the GT86 took the win. If BRZ would be in the list i would take it.
 
If we got the RCZ over here, I'd have it. But since we don't, I'll have the GT86/FR-S.
 
GT86, but the Audi makes a strong case for itself. That's a very nice selection there, I'd be ahppy with any one of them.
 
TT VS RCZ VS Scirocco VS GT86

To be honest, I don't find the Scirocco to be that good looking, and the interior styling is meh. The GT86 is of course great, but I'd much rather just buy a Scion FR-S back home and save a bunch of money. Not to mention it'd be left hand drive too. The TT is of course very nice, but it has only 160 horsepower. I'm sure that's sufficient, but I'd like something with a bit more power than a Mini. Then there's the RCZ, which just looks fabulous, and it has 200 horsepower. It's also the cheapest of the bunch, and I could have a car that looks like nothing else here. I'd seriously consider importing an RCZ if I could afford to have one crash-tested.
 
RCZ, I think it looks great in a weird French sort of way. I'd like the GT86, but I don't want one until they give it decent tires and more power. That new turbo ones that I keep seeing pop up on various automotive blogs has me interested for sure.
 
TT v RCZ v Scirocco v GT86 -> Easy, the GT86 (I'd rather call it the Celica imho).

Never though about calling the GT86 a Celica though. 💡

Maybe with the FR-S/86 out and about, we could see a Celica one day, using the GT86's chassis, maybe longer, and with a return of a engine similar to the 3SGTE, but more updated and modern. 💡

Back on topic:

TT vs. RCZ vs. Scirocco vs. GT86: Easy as cake, I'll take the 86 and the Scirocco, because RWD and AE86's descendent and Scirocco's descendant and a cool Hot Hatch from VW.

Even though I like the TT and the RCZ is ugly :yuck:. It's Toyota and VW all the way for me! :D
