Cars you love, but nobody else does

[calster17]

It's a Mitsubishi Minica dangan ZZ but the Daihatsu is very similar to it

 

Close enough,The grills are kinda the same :cheeky:

 

If Im correct though, that Mitsubishi was the first car to have 100BHP per Litre! :D By having 100bhp and being a 1 litre engine :lol:

Honda City TURBO II

First off, THEM FLARED ARCHES! Second of all it's meant to be a nippy little car(for from the year it came out, not so much now), Third thing, THEM FLARED ARCHES! Forth thing, I personally have a thing for most small retro Japanese cars!

 

Did I mention the flared arches? :cheeky:

[superhyper]

What you didn't mention is the thing in the boot :p

 

[Narwhal]

Do like.

*Scooter picture*

 

I diddent know about that actually! Guessing it was't a normal feature?

 

The Honda City Cabriolet is nice as well...

Lovely little thing I think personally.

Austin Metro

A nice little car, does what it's meant to do and has them 80's looks that I love as well as a 4-Speed manual gearbox. The MG Metro 1300's are a real hoot to drive and the 1300 Turbo even more so!(One of my old college lectures recalled how when driving one it was like a go-kart). By today's standers it's not going to trouble the the Cooper S or the Corsa VXR on a track, but on the right backroad it'd still give them a run for there money.

Also the cars Steroid fueled relation is still a worthy car to remember in it's own right!

The Chevy Astro

Gen 5 Daihatsu Cuore. These things shared their K-Frames and Engine platform with the Sirion/Storia. As a result you can do crazy 1.3 liter K3-VE swaps between the cars with minimal effort.

 

In addition, if you get a JDM model they came with a turbocharged 639cc engine, capable of 90hp if put on a boost controller(or bleed valve).

 

For export, these cars came with 989cc EJ-DE engines rated at about 50hp.

Not bad, but with a K3-VE swap the car is capable of 0-60 in 5-6 seconds depending on what model of K3 block you get.

 

Most of all, they are cheap. REALLY cheap. Good second hand examples can be found here in Britain for two to four thousand. Sterling.

 

'Good' isn't very much though. Previous owners tend to treat these cars like crap because 'they are just Daihatsu's' :-x

FIAT UNO! :D

 

We had one of them years ago, first car I can actually remember my parents owning! You don't hear anything about them these days though :(

 

@ Xracer

Picture not showing for me, but I'm guessing it's the Daihatsu Cuore TR-XX Avanzato going by what you've said! They can be very quick and can keep up with Golf GTi's and the like in the right hands! Shame they cost so much for a Import or a UK official car, otherwise I'd have one.

[TheXRacer]

<sings> Fiiiiiiixed!

[BioHazard7911]

Bump.

 

 

I absolutely love this car, I'll be buying my own soon ^__^

 

Alot of people refer to this a girls car or a hairdressers car. That's funny because it leaves most cars in the dust and it does reel in the girls :cheeky:

 

It also has loads of potential.

[superhyper]

^Read the thread title again :cheeky:

^Read the thread title again :cheeky:

 

I did and still have no idea what you are talking about..:confused:

[The Compensator]

He means that lots of people love this car, so you should have chosen a car that lots of people don't like.

 

I don't know why people call Miata's and Boxster's hairdresser's car. They are driver's cars, and I don't think hairdressers can drive a sports car. :p

Wouldn't a hairdressers car be a Mazda 3 anyway? Well on that note, here's something different...

 

(1 hour later)

 

Yeah I can't think of anything..D:

[calster17]

Opel Manta! :D

 

Love em myself, but alot of people seem to forget about the car. (at least younger people)

[TDUZoqqer]

'Sup, new here.

 

Just posting one. Got probably 50 of them.

 

[mau92]

The hell is that!? :|

[Kub3kPL]

Oh well, there are loads of cars that I like, but nobody else I know does.

 

Starting off with...

 

 

...the Fiat Panda!

I love that car, it's nice looking, it's swift, quick to be honest (my dad got one for about 5 years with the basic 1.1 engine and it really could go fast), and I truly don't know why so many people dislike this car. The only people I know that like this car are my parents, my grandparent, me and James May lmao

[calster17]

I'm also a fan of the Panda. :hi5:

 

The 100hp that they offered was a fine hatch to throw about, and alot of car magazines always rate it highly! Shame that not many young people like it...but then again that's part of the charm I guess! :)

[RobikV3]

-Well my friend,for me it's more than just love for this car..and you're right..the new generation of children don't even want to look at all the great rallys this car have won..but not my case..i'm 16 and 2 years seems like forever for me to get one <3

only one friend of mine realises that this is a great car..others..

I dedicate it this song..tho not my car(yet),yes i'm in love with it :D

 

I like the Manta too as well Ascona and Kadetts we had a Kadett E before Clio shame it rusted to death before i got my license ;/

[carlos_69]

I really like the Opel/Vauxhall Calibra. It's one of the cars that don't get much attention like other 90's coupes.

[calster17]

Ah the Calibra....a underrated car and unloved by the current generation(alot of people dont know it).

 

Shame, as its a car that I like....would't own one myself though.

[TDUZoqqer]

The hell is that!? :|

Mansory Siracusa. One of the few Mansorys which actually don't like like incest Fiat Multiplas.

 

Haters gonna hate, but:

 

I got a strange taste, I know. But that's what the thread is for, right? :nods:
