The Good:

1. Honda S2000. It's not terribly exciting on the outside. Drive it! WOW! Handles like a race car, but rides decently. 9000rpm? Daily driver? Nope, but so what? For $48KCDN you can't come closer to a shifter kart for the street.

2. Mini Cooper S (2003) Looks great, handles like above mentioned shifter kart and is $30K. Price is high for teeny car with poor rep for quality, but an amazing driver regardless.

The Bad:

1. Hyundia Pony back in 1985. Bad at everything. Every single thing.

2. Dodge Neon in 1995. Poorest handling car I drove since the Pony.

3. Land Rover Disco I in 1996. How could anything with a 4.0L V-8 make so little power and use so much gas and handle so bad on the road? Unless I had to go serious off-roading EVERY day, I could never own one.

The Ugly:

1. Chevette, any year, any mileage. Never drove one, won't.

2. L48 Corvette from the mid 1970's. A Toyota Matrix base model can outrun one. Why bother? Why do people keep them?
