    WRX with its AWD drive gets my vote. When I'm behind the wheel sliding down a forest road I can't see what the outside looks like. :D

    I'd take either, but since I have to pick it will be gen 1.

    WRX, I would know the Ferrari was a mess and still a mess even after a repair.

    I think the Gen 1 All-Trac would be a nice base to build up too. :)

    Given any AWD Turbo car from the 80's, for me it would be a toss up between the Gen-1 Toyota GT-Four (All-trac for us) or the Mazda 323 GTX. They where the rally monsters before the WRX and EVO came along...

    Now an 80's RWD Turbo car I would still have to have if you could find a good one would be one of these...

    Mitsubishi Starion wide body, or the same car was also sold as the Chrysler Conquest TSi... This is the car that was responsible for the modern Japanese performance market, and where fast for anything out of the 80's. :)

    GTI. I'm too tall for a Miata.

    GTI because of the need for more than two seats.

    For a year round daily driver I'd have to go with the GTI.

    This is a hard one. The GTI by a small margin.

    GTI , only because it is the practical choice for an only car! Miata's are loads of fun...Especially with LS motors!

    Still voting for the Miata as I do not need the extra seats since I am not having kids and all my friends own MINI and would rather drive then ride in mine.

    I gotta go with the GTI. Everyone expects the Miata to be awesome out of the gate, as far as handling and entertainment factor. The GTI would be close in handling, but lacks the get up and go of the little roadster. So why go for it? Because stock sucks, that's why. The aftermarket base for that little VDub is insane.

    Boy this is a great question. I would take the Miata.
    I have owned a 1983 and 1984 GTI. Both were great cars, simple to work on, and parts are still available and cheap.
    However, I would go for the Miata. I live whether the weather is mild and I do not need back seats. I would have to modify the Miata.
