I was thinking about my Mazda 3 Sport today. It's not the most exciting car in the world and it's classed as a bit of an old man car. However, I do think that it looks good and it is fun to drive (revvy). See below (sorry about gash colour):



So, does anyone else know of a car that isn't super exciting (in terms of PH 'exciting') and super fast, but it looks nice? I know it's a matter of personal taste, but i'm intrigued to see what this thread throws up.

I have to be honest, off the top of my head I would have to say I quite like the 207cc, although as it goes its pretty run of the mill as a drivers car. Reason it springs to mind is I helped the sis in law to buy one last week, I liked it!


I would say it, but there is nothing wrong with that colour by the way!!!!!

Brera Spider, certainly. Or possibly the Delorean.

Previous shape JAG XK. Looks great, but very much a cruiser and not a sports car.

Sorry, 'gash' is a little harsh. That colour is actually growing on me the more I see it boxedin

I've just remembered about a Focus model that may fit the bill. I think i've seen TDCI's with a sporty bodykit. Thay have a remoulded rear bumper that looks like it is using ground effect aerodynamics? I can't remember the trim level name, but others have said on here that it is just a slow diesel with a bodykit?

Surely crashing one on the M11 in the wet was exciting though? wink
