For myself, I was briefly drawn to:

The Hyundai Veloster and Veloster Turbo.
The Fiat 500 and 500 Abarth.
And a lightly used Volvo C30.

Apples and oranges. Just wondering if I was alone. I know the Civic Si and Golf GTI are popular, but I was never drawn to them personally. After being disappointed by the driving experience in both Velosters I just went ahead and bought an FR-S. I realized I wasn't going to be happy with anything else. I never tried the Fiat or Volvo.
