Honda CRX 1.6

There are no major flaws to point to this car: it has a fantastic engine with horsepower to spare for hours and hours of fun, it's low and wide, it has very good suspension and brakes, it has legendary Honda reliability and it doesn't spend a deposit on the car. 100 km.

Ford once thought of making the Opel a small sports car for younger people who wanted a stylish, sporty and cheap car. And so did the Puma. The Ford Puma is beautiful. It's one of the most beautiful sports cars I've ever seen and just seeing it makes you want to drive it rough and abuse that amazing 123 hp gasoline engine. In terms of reliability, it's 5 stars as it shares a lot of Fiesta's mechanics. Weighing just over 1,000 kg. this car manages to go from 0-100 in 9.2 sec. A beautiful car that even stopped gives the feeling that it is moving fast!

A very reliable car and for the time being there is no shortage of replacement parts.

The road behavior is a treat for those who like strong emotions! It is in every way better than the Golf GTI, which in itself is a very important achievement.
