I love the image and its performance, but Clio Sport Cup 182 is too small, has depreciated very quickly and being European, is expensive to maintain. The Purgeot suffers from the same price and maintainence premium over the Sportivo. The Integra and Celica lack the practicality of the Sportivo hatch, which is really important for me. While I could get an SW20, ST205, S15, a WRX (would love a wagon!) etc for the price of my Sportivo, high revving NA power appeals to me more than the fuel bill and the maintanence of a turbo. I want to get a kick out of my daily driving without frying tyres, fuel and my licence. I like the unique styling of the ST162 and I would love to build a killer FWD NA car out of the 3SGE Beams platform, but unfortunately it isn't the 'sensible' thing to do. Even if I sink $10,000 into it, it will only ever be worth half of that. The Corolla has huge aftermarket support, an advanced engine, is cheap to buy and run, is very practical - and personally, I really like the styling. And because I'd be taking on the car under a novated lease, it keeps the boss happy too. I like the stypling as well, one of the reasons that I got my rolla. Would love to have got the sportivo, but couldn't afford the extra 10g at the time. Besides the money give me a chance to do my GT4 project car that I have always wanted.
