Thanks. (If it's aimed at my old car instead of the VW). I like it. Cheap, reliable, good steering feel, can take the kids in the back-seat and I like the way they look as well. I love driving RWD cars. Other than my wife's cars (AWD) and that Citroen I owned - I never owned anything that was not RWD.

Yeah, your car. My mom had one when I was about eight or so. I still remember it. In fact, it was the exact same colour too! :)

Speaking of BMW's..

For some reason, my favorite year is the 2002.

I think it's the roofline

Very pretty cars - before they went with Bizarro styling. The problem with modern BMWs (or at least, my problem) is that they are so complicated - you can't really work on them yourself anymore. I used to own a 1972 BMW 2002 ('02) - and I still have many friends from the local vintage BMW club - including many independent BMW specialist shop owners - and they told me that to service modern BMWs you need to purchase a $35K custom computer system from BMW just to be able to analyze what is happening there...

Yikes.

There is a good reason modern BMWs are commonly referred to as "Break My Wallet"...

I can still do many things myself on my old E30 - could do even more on the '02 - but needed a 4 door car to get the kids in and out.

If there is no rust - fixing them is easy. They are simple, fun cars that just about anyone can fix. If there is rust... well, like most cars - rust is no good.
 
One of the kids on 'Little People, Big World' has a red 1971 BMW 2002.

Btw, this is an Infiniti G35 Skyline conversion by Top Secret. This car, if I remember correctly, has the RB26dett engine in it.

After Rieger, Top Secret makes the best body kits on the market.

Some cult classics are making their back to the market:

2010 Ford Taurus SHO (twin turbo V-6, all-wheel drive)

Lexus Supra (no set year as of yet)

I love the Supra's but the new ones are considered supercars with a supercar price ($100,000+)

At that price I'd rather buy a 1998 Supra:

Check out the 2011 VW GOLF coupe. I don't know if it's the R32 but I don't care! This is a car I want.

That new Porsche is a clone of the 2011 Jaguar XJ

Wow, I really like the look of the new Porsche. I don't think it looks much like the Jag, to be honest.
