None for me, unless you count the Corrado as a hot hatch. I've never been in a situation where I've needed that much practicality in my own car.

That is a big list! Be interested to hear in a bit more detail how you though they all compared? Especially the Integra against the Civics.

I've had(including company cars):

206 1.6 Xsi
Saxo Vtr
Mini Cooper S(R53)
Civic Type R Ep3 x2
Mini Cooper S JCW(R53)
106 Gti
Ford Puma Millennium
Clio 182

For me the 106 Gti was the most fun, the Civic's were the best overall, the supercharged Minis sounded awesome but I hated the interiors, and the Clio did everything well but I bought a not so great example.

You can't beat the civics for all round performance, the integra dc5 was awesome to but the uk roads are not the place for it. The audi s3 2007 was the biggest let down for all the money it costs, golf r32 beats it hands down for noise alone smile I thought my mini felt slow compared to the civic for 210 bhp. If your thinking about buying a corsa vxr don't do it haha there rubbish

Ahhh sounds good smile I thought the JCW Mini was a little slow for 210bhp as well, I found the ride pretty crashy in the Mini too.

I'm not a fan of the VXR at all, but I did have a lightly modified Corsa Gsi hand my arse to me off a slip road and down a deserted dual carriageway when I was in my 206 Xsi. At the time I thought my 206 was really quick, so seeing this old Corsa leave me far behind was quite humbling! :L

You must get bored quickly. Good effort trying that many cars. Do you generally get back what you paid and find them easy enough to sell on?

Almera GTi
Mini Cooper
Mk.IV Golf GTi 1.8t
Mk.V Golf GTi
Scirocco TFSi 210PS
Porsche Cayman S
Golf Mk.VII R - on order

Mk.V Golf, pound for pound probably the best car there, certainly the most flexible though the Cayman, on the right day, on the right road, must surely be one of life's greatest pleasures. I'm hoping that the R will be a good compromise car when I become a dad later in the year.

From the factory 220-230bhp though right?
