Aight, I'll give it a go, ultra turbo version, very short. This is what I've driven for extended periods the last few years, feel free to ask if you want more details.
Golf R DSG: Awesome, awesome sound, awesome acceleration but controlled and very german. The R32 was more fun because of the noise. Had a race between lights with a Quattroporte in the R and can attest to the italiens be a bit loose regarding the truth and acceleration. The guy behind the wheel didn't look happy. I enjoyed it very much.
Passat R36: I didn't want to get in it, but wow. What a car. I'd probably never buy one because, you know, it's a Passat, sort of weird buying a fast Passat. Had DSG as well and for such a large car it had awesome handling. Off the line acceleration is a lot better than in the R, feels a lot faster even though it isn't. The navigation was brilliant.
BMW 135i coup?: brilliant, plenty of acceleration, having a hard time to decide between that and the R. What makes the most difference is the DSG-shift in the R, but the 135i feels more racy (probably due to the rwd) and it is sort of expensive compared to what you get.
BMW X5 35d xDrive: Loved it, swallowed a metric shit ton of fuel, just a completely stupid car in every way, but I'd love one. As any other BMW the cost of optional extras like the beautiful sunroof and comfort opening of the boot cost almost as much as the car itself. The two turbos send you off brilliantly.
BMW X1 20D sDrive (automatic): Most pointless thing I've ever driven. What a horrible car, but if you are careful you can really go far above the stated mileage, the engine is great. One of the few "cheaper" current BMW's that looks a bit different than the rest of the lineup. Check out the new 1' series, the front is a lot better than the old one, but for some reason they decided to stick the rear lights from a WV Polo on it.
The X1 got great reviews and people recommended you buy this over the 3 series. No. You shouldn't.
BMW X3 20D xDrive (automatic): A lot better looking and with the proper automatic gearbox but I'd still feel bad about not buying the X5 instead. Giving it a bit of speed on slippery surfaces and it loses control.
Opel Corsa OPC: Mean and angry little thing and I loved it and its snorting. The short wheel base and the mad feeling it gives during acceleration was brilliant. I'd buy one. The optional multimedia system was perfect and it is quite roomy if you fold the rear seats. I moved a couch in it.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV: Beautiful looking thing. Boring and impossible to find a comfortable position in the drivers seat, no room for passagers in the rear seat, doesn't feel particularly safe or controlled while going at speed. It revs out almost immediately when accelerating from 0, really frustrating. The sound it makes is great, but it creaks and cracks and it squealed every time I put the clutch down. It feels like it poorly built. I'd never buy one for any other reason that it is quite good looking and definitely never pay the extra for that tired engine in it.
Mazda MX5 1.8: Well now, here was a surprising thing. I loved it, a bit weird when you are tall, but what a feeling, roof down, curvy roads and the motorbike-ish sound it makes, wow, what a machine. I'd definitely buy one over the above because of handling and how fun it is to drive (oversteer is so easy and controlled, just a tiny flick of the wheel and you screech through the bends. If I didn't need to transport stuff around and the weather wasn't shitty most of the year I'd buy one.. Cheapest, best sportscar and will make you happy each time you get in it, especially if you have the roof down. Gay looking or not, which seems to be most people problem with it.
Renault M?gane RS 250 CUP: Trumps everything I've ever driven (price considered). On the track it's just insane, it grips the road with unbelievable force, the sound is awesome and it's very well built. The seats are perfect there is ample room on the rear seats and in the boot. The gear change is delicious, feels so mechanic, same goes for the steering. If any of you have a chance to take one of these for a test drive, please do. And remember to put it completely into sport mode or at least set the throttle to "Extreme". It may not be particularly pretty, but on the bendy roads it's faster than most cars and if you check out the laps times from Ring Nordschliefe the Trophy version has quite a nice lap time.
Seat Cupra R: Well, what can one say? It is fast, it is well built and the sound of it really sets it apart, sounds like the cars in old racing games, computerish. The steering is too loose and sensitive for my taste, like they forgot they were building a 265 horsepower GTI and just chose the steering from some random car. Choosing between and the M?gane RS is quite hard, but for pure driving and track pleasure, the Renault wins, no contest.
Renault Scenic 1.6 DCI: I'm mentioning this because I was quite astounded by the engine, it
doesn't make any dieselish sounds and the car is very comfortable and nice to drive compared to the older ones that were just awful, the suspension was horribly soft to a degree that felt dangerous. This new one, however, roomy, quiet, lots of nice extras. Good car actually.
Fiat 500 TwinAir: I used to hate the little, fashionable car seen on every corner but actually feel quite in love with it after having it for a while. Mostly due to the engine though, the puff-puff-puff lawnmower quality sounds it made. The engine is very spiffy. The fuel economy is terrible though.
Honda Jazz Hybrid (automatic): Well, it's quite interesting, very roomy and has a great color options and is sort of economic, I guess. The gearbox, the automatic CVT-thing, oh dear, what terrible racket from the depths of hell that thing makes during acceleration. I thought I'd broken it. You only ever try to accelerate hard once in this. I guess it's pretty good for the fuel economy, avoiding acceleration like you'd avoid swimming through shit. The gear selector also has, for some reason, a "sport"-setting.
Honda Accord Type S Tourer 2.2 diesel: Well, huuuuuge and roomy, plenty of clever little details and nice instrumentation and a nice steering wheel. It's an excellent drive for the every day commute. The aluminum gear knob will drive you insane on cold days. It's too slow and it's too expensive and boring but otherwise quite a good car.
That is it for now.
