Thank Freakin' god! Don't get me wrong, I'm mellow as yellow jello, and I do agree that Miata is the answer to every question automotive, but I'm a little passionate about all things Zed Coupe, lowly non-M or not.
My vote goes to the GTI because of condition. If the Berkeley were in better shape (like it had a motor in it that ran), I'd've voted for it.
This is the first match-up in this series that I had to think about. I really like all 4 cars. The classis MINI was an easier selection over the 914, not so much for the driving experience--which is a little bit balky for both cars--but more for the cool factor when rolling into a C-n-C. The Boxster vs. R53 is harder. Bone-stock, I'd take the Boxster. It's a great car that's fun to drive, you can drop the top, the motor is quiet but sounds amazing. Knowing me, I'd mod the hell out of an R53--and a well-modded R53 is just a funner, more visceral car than an Boxster, so...
Maybe it's because a lot of us already have an R53 and want a classic to go with it. At least that would be my thinking.
Maybe that guy should put the car on here to sell.
