??? The OP's a recovering hot rodder considering a Mk I Rabbit or a Civic Hatch, and you guys are suggesting LT-1s, 6.5 liter diesels, 5 liter Mustangs, and the like. He wants a rear seat, and you suggest Opel GTs and 240Zs. Do you have an open bar at your AA meetings, too?

What's a car with personality? I'd rule out all those 300k+ mass-marketed cars, but livewire's ok with the ubiquitous Civic hatch, VW Mk I, etc. Personality to me is uniqueness and quirkiness - a 3 cylinder, 2 stroke Saab, a Studebaker Avanti, an old Land Rover, a modern Nissan or Toyota safari vehicle, or a London taxicab.
