Colt Following

When it comes to cars, I want them fast and furious but more importantly, agile, fun and easy to drive and live with.

In a metropolitan country like mine, life's stressful and the roads are crowded. So I hate to have a car that is physically large (cumbersome!) and , worse, having a manual transmission (to have to wrestle with a clutch and go 1-2-3-4-5-6 and back again in 10 seconds, is NOT FUN at all.Period. ) .

So yes, I've my premium European cars like the BMW , VW , Peugeot and MINI to contend with.

But surely I wanna consider a Japanese car too .

And this is it. The Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Type R.


A turbo-charged monster with the pace , face and space to match.

Woo.

Sure, I won't arrive at the Clubs looking fly but at least , I'm not a poseur either.


No compromises. And I'm the one left smiling. :)

Adrenalin for the Thinking Man

Well, these two cars have the right pedigree.

The brand prestige. The reputation that goes along with it . The technological marvel (The pug has a BMW/MINI-sourced turbo lump while the VW has a much raved-about award-winning 'bi-turbo' one)> Both have the space and practicality which the competition does not have (Neither the BMW 1-series nor the MINI Cooper Clubman have the space to match the pace) . And best of all, undercuts the rest of the pack with (slightly) lower price tags.

Now, that's a THINKING MAN'S ADRENALIN RUSH.

The VW Golf GT: 1.4L inline 4 cylinder Twin charge TSI , 6 speed

The Peugeot 308 Turbo: 1.6L inline 4 cylinder turbo, 4 speed

Either can be yours for a shade under S$100 thousand dollars.

(Anything else with a similarly big badge and similarly big on performance will cost you at least 10-15 grand more.)

Unfortunately, I think with my balls... :p
