I want to say a bright radioactive green Jimny. But I think I'd find 0-60 in 16 seconds to be unacceptable.
So maybe a Subaru Levorg with the 1.6T motor. New one should drop this year.

A110 would be a close second for me, but I would have a tough time with the 60-80k price point, so I can’t say I would actually buy it unlike the Jimnytroyguitar wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 12:56 pm Fantasy land:

Yeah the A110 being expensive and automatic is unrealistic for me, and the S660 wouldn't work because I have nowhere to park it here despite it being affordable.
S1 I could actually afford and own here as an only car, plus it's and offered in fun colors.

Subaru Levorg apparently has an STI version as well, dat 1.6 makes 170 hp so that's pretty decent as well.

I just saw a new A1 (possibly S1) with a nice shade of brownish color over the pond, lookstroyguitar wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 1:02 pm Yeah the A110 being expensive and automatic is unrealistic for me, and the S660 wouldn't work because I have nowhere to park it here despite it being affordable.

Agreed. I have rented the slow 1 series and it is actually pretty cramped compared to the doesn't really have the use of purpose as I expected as much for a practical RWD with 300hp as far as that's concerned.troyguitar wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 12:56 pm Fantasy land:

I don't know why I love weird car pickups so much. They're my weakness apparently.

Realistic
This is perfect for DC HOV commutes and take family on road trips. I'd only get a hybrid for that advantage alone

The E46 version of the 318ti hatchback could be too but that's 20 years old.
Basically any small (actually small, not a 3500 lb Golf) affordable hatchback with and RWD. Does that even exist anywhere anymore cheaper than the Cayman?
There used to be tons. 944, fox mustang, celica, base supra, corolla, base z cars, 318ti, etc.
