Your Holy Grail?
Discussion
Nice thread. I'd been thinking of a 'combine the features/characteristics of your favourite cars' thread, but this one describes it better.
1.The go-kart-like raw involvement, steering, handling, balance of a Lotus Elise 111S;
2. N/A petrol RWD, manual with LSD (see 3). I don't care where the engine is;
3. modern lights, interior heating, heated seats and LSD to cope wth the winter;
4. the reliable, simple, robust mechanicals and easy, cheap home maintenance of an MX-5;
5. delete electronic toys. Electric windows, heated seats (see 3) - that's it.
6. a spine-tingling exhaust note worthy of deleting in-car entertainment.
7. 2+2 configuration, decent luggage space, 35+mpg
8. available for £20k at 3 years old, with plenty to choose from and still in great condition.

The zero compromise exige
There is always going to be a compromise when designing a car, or anything for that matter. A 4x4 with the styling, cachet and refinement of an early L322 Range Rover (in dark green with 18" wheels), the off-road performance and lightness of a Bowler Wildcat, the on-road handling of a Porsche Cayenne and the performance of a modern SVR. Oh, and with all the modern features like reversing cameras, etc. Must be reliable too and have 20,000 mile service intervals that cost no more than £300; 35 mpg as a minimum and tow 3.5 tonne.
Yeah, I know...what a load of incompatibility.. nice to dream though.
