Hah. Yea I wanted an SW20 at first but then I thought about it and I didn't think it made sense to go for something over 20 years old because that's just asking for trouble. The ZZW30 is very much my philosophy for cars, minimalist, I just didn't like the softtop and crappy drivetrain, but it still won my heart over. While I like the Elise, I think that a car does need some semblance of storage space and the Elise doesn't do that. They could've just given it some more rear overhang for aero purposes and stretched the luggage compartment a little.
Not all the noise in the car is bad, the engine making a racket, the gears whining, and the clutch engaging all right behind your head are part of the fun and you can feel the rear end's weight when going through turns a little too fast as the inner wheel lets go.
The first company to make a modern budget MR car is going to win my money though, there's just no way I will be able to resist buying one even if I have no money.
