Honda Civic
(type-R) A blast! Nimble and quick on the road, pretty good fun on the track although the lack of LSD is a pain on the tight corners. Damping at the rear isnt ideal and takes a bit of getting used to when really pushing it, but bags of lift off oversteer available if required. Engine is a gem. The addition of variable cam timing means more low down torque than previous vtecs, which is just as well as the (excellent) 6 spd box can mean being in the "wrong" gear on track due to lack of time to change up/down. Seats are comfy, and although it can be a bit noisy at speed i find it fine as an allround car - i do 25-30k road miles a year in mine! Great package for 16k.
