I think Honda has done it with all their type r's. Its a proper weapon though, great fun to drive. Hooks up really well through the corners. If you ever have the chance to drive one, have a go!
Fell in love with a blue one when they first launched. In 2017, hired a parking space in Brum and some old guy came out and dragged a sack of birdseed from his garage and started feeding the pigeons. Tatty clothes, white hair, bobble hat (and that was just the pigeons). Goes back in and drives out a black one... Never judge by appearances.

Replaced the Zafira Tourer with this:



Will be getting a second set of wheels, maybe in black for summer tyres and keeping these for winters at the end of the year. Keeping until it until its dying days as the daily commuter. Fantastic to drive and I like the sound of the triple engine. Wish I had gone for one rather than the Zaf. Much more fun and our Husky fits in the boot!

Lmao! A man after my heart. The black ones look awesome, very stealth like. I went for red though as it ties up with the whole red racing theme with the type r like the cabin inserts, red badges etc etc.

Not to the level of many on here, but what a fabulous little car! Gave me lots of grins on the way over the M62, surprisingly comfortable and really well put together still for an old girl (it's a girl btw).

Nice! And forget about 'level', think that's the fun of this thread -- doesn't matter, there's something genuinely nice and/or interesting for every price point. The E85 cars are IMO a bit of a bargain, especially in the UK, but even on the continent prices haven take off yet.
Indeed, that is the fun of this thread!

And agreed on the Bangle Z4 E85. Always liked these, and that one looks like a great example.

The big, handsome Volvo in the middle, naturally. 850 T5. I *love* it. Electric everything (including sunroof), comfy leather seats, fast enough and makes a great noise.

Picked up an RS6 C7 Performance last week, bit of a jump from the 1.2 Polo 3 cyl 70hp ive been driving.

The wife says there must be a hole in the tank the amount of fuel we've been through...

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Lovely colour. A colleague has one in stealth grey that he reports is a real Q-car that just grips and goes in any weather, and frightens himself and the more powerful performance cars. We have a low powered ST as family wagon that’s quiet, comfortable, lovely to drive and like a TARDIS inside. It just has a terrible Satnav, but I’m sure these newer models are better. SEAT are seriously underrated.
