Parked next to my 300+rwkw XR Turbo is my Hyundai Getz, 5 spd manual, slightly lowered, nice wheels, very quiet exhaust system, I like driving it as much as the XR. The XR feels like your driving a big boat in comparison. (but its heaps faster)
There are a few bends that you can go absolutely flat in the getz, just as you get to the end of the bend it starts hopping sideways, heaps of fun, try that in the XR and you will hit the wall. You can also run someone at the lights in the GETZ, police dont even think your racing, you can eat a pizza whilst racing someone and hope you have enough horseepower to get you over the line (mine has more top end than a Madza 2) |

My pride and joy is my 97 EL XR8, which i only use about once a week, if not less, it gets washed every weekend and looked after very well, anyway my daily work run about is a 91 Nissan pathfinder, has a 2.4ltr carbie 4cyl motor, bull bar, 30inch BFGoodrich all terrains, roof racks and lots of dirt, mud and grime!, very realiable none the less!

Well, my BA GT is my pride and joy, but I also drive a Suzuki Vitara soft-top as my work/beach/not-going-to-throw-my-wet-dive-gear-into-the-GT's-boot hack. Also have an 89 Mustang GT, but that's going through a rebuild at the moment...

89 Subaru Leone with no power under the bonnet : atleast it's cheaper to run than the XR8.

The EL is my daily driver. Don't drive anything else.
If I'm lucky, the wife will let me drive the Peugeot on the weekend.
