Interesting list and certainly all the cars they list have a lot of Character.

I agree with all of them (crazy eh?) except a few things;

1. that Mitsubishi's ignition module is about the cost of the car itself.
2. The early Fieros are no fun and little character and the later ones will be hard to find for $3k. Like many GM cars, they canceled the program as soon as they got close to right.
3. Those GTIs are crazy fun in that you can be driving 9/10s and still not in crazy ticket territory. Sciroccos are an even more fun bet in the same price range.
4. Be careful on the MR2 handling as it is not the forgiving handling of a 914.

Enjoy!
