It's tough for me to warm up to the 4 cyl pony cars. It's like 60% of the engine, but with 100% of the size and 90% of the weight. Without the V8, what's the point of having a chassis that large?
For all its flaws, I still like the WRX as a street car. Something about having a compact, practical 4 door sedan with AWD and a turbo is still inherently appealing to me. I'd happily drive one.
Same for the GTI. Compared with the WRX you give up AWD, but gain so much back in polish and refinement.
The ND Miata is appealing to me for all the reasons that the BRZ/FR-S is. Agile, visceral and fun. It lacks practicality of the Twins, but as a 3rd car it works.
The rest I'd pass on. I'm sure the Veloster N drives great, but I just can't get past the interior or exterior. Call me shallow.
