It must be good just based on the length of the name.
My favorite types align well with yours. Small cars of various styles, prefer 2 doors, do it for me. I've had several:

Chevy Monza
Nissan Pulsar NX SE
Ford Escort 5 door
Mazda3 5 door
BMW 318ti
Acura RSX Type S
BMW 325Ci
Porsche Boxster

My Stealth TT is a bit bigger than I like, but 2 door hatch!
I put almost 30K miles on a $500 240K mile 318ti and it was wonderful.
Should be something fairly recent and a bit of a halo kind of car.

Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstice, but with an LS. I think the Sky looks a little more modern, but the Solstice had that sexy, but impractical, coupe.
Health challenges, traveling and home projects really slowed progress on the Stealth. I'm over the hump on my treatments and home so today was trans packaging attempt #2. After lots of Styrofoam chunks & 2 cans of spray foam, I think it's a success. Shipping this week, finally!
Speaking of my Prius, evidently I picked it up 12 years ago today. First in a string of 4 hybrids for us.

I wanted to take home this Fiesta ST instead.

When I replaced the 12v in my 2007 Prius I bought it from the Toyota dealer. Because it was in the hatch, it was a special ventilated type and the dealer actually had the best price.
I love that the end of this post says "For the record, we know many engines labeled as five-liter are off by a cc here or there—that’s allowable, but if it’s a 4.9, it’s a 4.9." yet the comments are filled with praise for the Mustang (& Chevy) 302 which is 50cc short at 4.95 Liters.
My 1960 Thunderbird Convertible. No corner carver, but a relaxing country drive with the top down and the V8 burbling is a great way to start the day.
Ok Cardle, I guess I'll wait for a bit.
>I should use gloves to work on my car like the kids do.

I figured I owe you pictures the kitten too.

This is Mistoffelees. Misto for short. (and my daughter and me, but let's be real, you're here for the kitten. 😄)
Rory is *very* concerned about the new kitten.

Also, I love how one of his ears perks up and one perks out. 😄
Venzas are perhaps even more underrated than minivans. Good choice!
That thread implies that it was a sub $200 oil change. I'm curious if it was oil failure or a lack of oil that killed it.
Last time I guessed the R5 and later found it credited me but seemed like it broke my streak. Maybe a glitch. Not a big deal, really.
One of the best color combos from the era. Well, minus the primer of course.
Not what I got today. I bet if you check again it's different now.
Pretty distinctive detail shot today.
