Under rated cars

[T88CAN]

I`ve just completed a week in my wifes car while she has been off,and i`m now of the opion that it must be one of the most under rated cars around, the road holding/grip and handling is simply awsome and WILL embarrass many a so called drivers cars it has Traction control ABS 4 air bags aircon all the goodies you will ever require i`ve driven/owned many "hot" cars, TVR`s, Supra TT, Cossies , Tuned Escort and Fiesta RS, The Puma came close but just lost out on ride quality, ok it lacks out right pace but my advice for anyone wanting a inexpensive superb drivers car go and buy a_-----------

Fiat X1/9. People laugh and joke at it and it gets its fairshare or hairdresser comments, but for sheer fun it's one (if not *the*) best car I've ever driven.

I still get people giving me stick for the terror trips in the X1/9 induced in them. Huge grins for the driver, white knuckles for the passenger.

I don't own one, but the Mazda Xedos9 is a very good car.

Dare I suggest: MG Maestro 2.0 Efi

Smart city coupe - for a low insurance/petrol city commuter car its hard to beat!

[littlegearl]

mk 1 Cavalier's for their torque...

[steviebee]

Mondeo 2.0 Zetec - well built, goes well and is excellent fun to drive!

[Simonelite501]

Lotus Elite/Eclat, very quick, great handling, good looks, enough said.

I was going to say maestro/montego turbo 0-60 in 6.7/7.2 seconds and tons of torque.we had a rover montego GTi and that was a good car although the rust thing does spoil them.

Serious head on for a mo': I think ALL cars are underrated. Let's face it, the fact that sitting outside, we have a heap of plastic, metal, rubber and other inanimate objects that we can bring to life and control to take us anywhere we want is great.

Some do it better than others, some look better than others but I think if you approach it right, you can have fun in just about any car*





*except a Kia.

Had a 1.3 Fiesta which was was a fantastic car to learn to drive properly in. Not very quick but immensely chuckable and great feel through the wheel. My Ibiza doesn't come close for fun factor, even though its much quicker. Fantastic little cars. Until you get a tad overoptimistic and rip the front susupension and steering rack off

I agree totally, decent handling, quick, just a $hitty body

[li'l pugs]

Still waiting for PWig with his obvious Rover 214 or whatever it is mention.

[docevi1]

First Volvo 440's, especially the GLE Injection. Kinda a turn-a-round for Volvo and it was a throughly decent car!

[pwig]

As demanded...



Rover 214Sli! £820 buys you heaven

[docevi1]

pwig, why the 214Sli, I heard they have the un-reliable Rover engine, whereas the 216Sli has the Honda 1600 rev happy unit, which I can vouch for is damned quick!
