Perhaps I should have specified 'affordable'. And in my book the Mini was *barely* affordable.
GT86 and 4C are lovely cars but out of my league! If money were no object, I'd get an RCZ or an F-type.
And this stuff about "lightweight, high strength" materials - if these are effective, why are so many new cars so much fatter than their older siblings? Ford Fiesta being a case in point - it became so huge they introduced the Ka as a new small car, and now, what do you know, the new Ka looks bigger than the old Fiesta!
But why no new Street Ka? And why aren't Daihatsu marketing the new Copen in Europe?
I quite like the idea of the Fiat 500, but (apart from the Ferrari association) I rented one on holiday, and the doors were so heavy I nearly lost my foot getting out of the car!
Perhaps I'm just getting old and grumpy.
