Daily sports car?

And if you get any of those in stick, they will be more than 100k cheaper and more fun on the street than a CS.

Problem is the wife...she can't/won't drive stick (and I'm sure this has come up before).

I considered the CVT WRX, DCT GTI, or a manual GR86 as she won't have any interest in driving that thing...but with 3 kids...I may not either.

Gr86 toy could be fun. Annoying as a dd as often you will have one or more kids with you. Life would be difficult without a dd that can easily move the kids.

Sweet! If you are ever in the Niagara area, reach out. My wife and I are presidents of the Niagara British Car Club.

Love the front clip of Spitfires. Fun on the back roads too.

I‘m on the hunt for a TR6. A few members are getting to a certain age and might be able to pick up a decent driver with little work.

I sincerely did not about this club. Thanks for letting me know... Whenever I got my Spitfire or my TR6 sure I gonna hang around... Just got my 07 Cooper S that, well, not that exciting but is one of the best cars I ever had.

A new mini is one of the best cars you have ever had? What stinkers were you stuck with in the past? They are fun for a few years while under warranty but I have never heard an older one described as the best.
 
I recently sold my M3. Have been browsing Kijiji looking at Subaru's as well. Seems like 3/4 of the ads say rebuilt/replaced motor on the older ones (for the STI model anyways) makes me a little nervous. Think I will wait for prices to come back down a bit and get another totally useless 370Z, loved that car. Can't really beat the performance for the money.

Well, I can say this: I like the R56 and R53. It does look good, has a nice driveability and by taking proper care of, it will take whenever I need to go (as any cared car will).

Brother was a Mini tech for the first two generations and, well, I was pretty thoroughly convinced to stay away. He ended up turning more than a few of them inside out. He *did* agree they were at least fun to drive lol

There are a few MINI members of the club and even some that have MX-5/Miata and some that just drive their grocery getters.

Heck, the missus and I have a classic bug we plan to bring out on a few events. Point is to have fun and enjoy the ride.

The better half is easier on the eyes and more organized. I tend to ramble on just a bit longer than I should.

BMW parked illegally? That's not rare.

The irony is this street is practically never ticketed. Its a narrow 1-way that has parked cars on both sides ever since the condo went up.

I would have rolled the dice too.

@Georg3__ why, what's wrong with the WRX? I was thinking of changing up my car and I like the AWD of Subaru and the manual transmission...please do tell...

Reliability makes the germans look like toyota. Quite sad really. Less high-strung subies like the cross-trek are less likely to need a head gasket (avoid the cvt). Subaru is overpriced for what they offer imo (which is supported by Georges comment of big discounts).

Owned a Subaru once. Once was enough.
