Not that strange... but I'd end up with a battle between the Volvo 740 and the Spider... and I'm not sure who'd win.

our dirt devils almost match. Just switch out Ram Charger for Ranger, and I pick the bronco over the Yota.

Honestly, they could go both ways for me as I do like both!

Out of the bunch, it's easily the most desirable to me. A low, sleek, sporty roadster? Yes please!

What would've you chosen? For me, the Cavalier is the winner only because around here they're so cheap you can buy two running Cavs with one paycheck and have dough to spare. And parts are more than bountiful!

They are cheap but also miserable loathsome things. My wife has an 01 Cavalier, and i guess its an okay car but i hate it with a passion. Also she only gets like 28mpg. I picked mine based on what it'd actually want to drive so CRX was my winner. I had to choose based more on price I'd say mx-3.

Good alternatives. I love the looks of the Mx-3 and there's almost no way you could go wrong with a CRX. Although, If I bought a CRX, I'd probably end up restoring it to showroom condition rather than using it as a beater. Same with the Alfa too, actually...

And also agreed, the Cav is an absolute bore, but are at least pretty reliable...Fits perfectly as a beater!!

Yeah my wifes Cavalier is her first and only car shes had it for 4 years now. It's most rust free just a few bubble that have shown uo in the last year, and other than regular maintenance and a new muffler we haven't had to do anything to it. Whats really impressive is that for the first year she owned it she put on 20,000 miles 110-130 without a single oil change and it hasn't caused any problems yet. now it has 160,000 and is reliable. I just wish is wasn't so ugly inside and out. I know if it was my daily driver it would kill a little piece of my soul every time I drove it lol.

Indeed. I especially dislike the dashboard. It's hard to grasp the shape of it...It's almost like the dash was the last part of the car that was designed; and the realized how high the windscreen sits relative to how low the seats are.

Thanks. I just put almost as much as its worth into the engine. It needs a wash, a new paint job, I need to take care of some very minor rust spots, and it needs a suspension refresh as well. But I love it. Just hope they increase in value at some point haha.
