1. Opel Speedster / Vauxhall VS220
Basically a Lotus Elise, but people didn't know, also it's an Opel which didn't help sales at all.
2. Toyota Matrix
A sporty model of the Corolla looking thing? Yeah, okay.
3. Volkswagen Golf GTI (ALL OF THEM)
GOLFS ARE THE DEVIL, AS WELL AS THE KIDS THAT DRIVE THEM. I GET MAD JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM.
4. Nissan S13 240SX
Overused, not that good, overhyped, ugly. Drift missile bro…
5. Opel/Vauxhall Corsa
Even if the latest models aren't really BAD cars, they still remain Opel Corsas. Why pay for a Corsa when you can get a nicer looking hatchback for the same amount of money??
6. Subaru Impreza WRX
Much like the Golf and the S13, overhyped and not very good looking. Most owners are idiots and they wish they had an STI.
7. Chevrolet Spark
Americans don't need fuel efficient city cars and Europe has too many better ones, what's the point of this thing I don't get it, can someone explain it to me?
8. Honda Accord Coupe (US Version)
A Honda for the 70 year old American retiree, I personally don't really hate it because it has a 3.5L V6 but yeah, Americans tell me these cars don't really get a lot of love over there.
9. Mercedes-Benz CLK200/220/whatever
HAHA… NICE WHIP BRO, I SEE YOU CAME TO DAT MONEY WITH THAT THIRD HAND CLK220 FROM THE EARLY 2000S! YEAH BRO, DAT BENZO… YOU FINALLY MADE IT.
10. Porsche 911 4WD Convertible (ALL OF THEM)
You buy a Porsche for the road feel, the engagement of a bare bone sportscar, not to try to impress your secretary in a automatic 4000 lb convertible. Get an SL instead. DAMN.
11. Honda Integra Type R DC2
The DC2 is my favorite of the Integras and my favorite FWD Honda, I don't like the round headlights front version, I think that's pretty ugly, but I love the rectangular headlight version, also it's pretty damn capable.
12. Nissan Sunny/Pulsar GTI-R
This thing is crazy, the base model is basically just your average Japanese affordable hatchback, but the GTI-R has four wheel drive from the freaking Skyline GTRs and a 227HP SR20 turbocharged 4 cylinder that's also found on the Silvias and something else I'm not JDM enough to know about.
13. Toyota Corolla AE86
I don't know the exact name but I'm sure you know what I mean, I kinda prefer the Levin over the Trueno, but most people prefer the Trueno because of them pop out headlights. I like it because it's kinda the iconic cheap RWD lightweight hatchback that everyone likes, not much of a looker and a performer when stock, but can look absolutely crazy when you mess around with it. They sold them in the US but here they were sold in France and Ireland only I believe? Whatever, they're just super rare everywhere because they exported a tiny amount but all the Japanese collectors brought them back to Japan LOL.
14. Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2
Started life as a pretty average FWD cheap hatchback, the last evolution was the exact same car that won the WRC 6 times in a row, and looks extremely cool with its widened stance and alcantara interiors. These things are becoming so expensive it's unbelievable.
15. Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo 2
Homologation model for DTM or touring car racing (too lazy to check, it's probably DTM) looks mean, has tartan seats, a 2.5L 4 cylinder that makes 250HP N/A (!!!) and has a giant spoiler in the back. Also funny thing about that, the requirements for homologations stated that the rear spoiler couldn't block the view from the rear view mirror inside the car, so what Mercedes did was basically just add a piece of black plastic at the top of the rear glass and voila.
16. Renault Clio Williams
The Clio is a pretty popular cheap hatchback in Europe, and the Williams version wasn't much more expensive, but was a whole lot faster, had a N/A 140HP 1.6L 4 cylinder, and it looked cool as hell cause it only came in dark blue (as far as I know) and gold wheels.
17. Nissan Skyline GTR R32
The resurrection of the GTR after about 30 years. Pretty big coupe, not sure if "compact" but it probably is for American standards. The engine is limited to 280HP due to some agreement all the Japanese car makers agreed to during the 90s or whatever. That was where cars couldn't make more power than 280HP, which was kinda pointless since they were all limited to just 180 km/h (about 112 mph) but everyone knows the RB26 can make literally any amount of power you want.
18. Subaru SVX
The SVX is a cool car that didn't sell much because it was basically a premium Subaru and in the US, during that time, Subaru only sold cheap econoboxes so nobody bought it because they couldn't trust a "cheap car maker" to make a luxury car. It was fairly expensive at the time and it had a cool 3.3L 6 cylinder boxer engine and all kinds of crazy stuff in it. And it looks great.
19. Toyota Soarer GZ20
Not much I can say about this one other than the fact that it has that cool Japanese 90s design and it comes with a bunch of engines including a 3.0L straight six.
20. Alfa Romeo GTV6 - RWD 2.5L V6 Coupe
That it's basically the most common Alfa Romeo in the US along with the Spider, I think it looks beautiful, styled by ItalDesign. Callaway made a twin turbo version too. Alfa Romeo is LIFE.
