Best well rounded sports car available.  The NA inline 6 engine is a monster and can even get 26-28 MPG.  The handling is amazing and the braking is perfect.  The pedals are even designed for heel-toe driving.  The fun factor is off the charts highly recommended for anyone thinking about buying one.

Pros — Best well rounded sport car available
Cons — Wish I had the euro engine (+40 hp)

This is my second M3 and although I love the 3.0 S50 of my last 95 this one is very smooth even at triple digits with the AC on full blast.  Even more fun to drive, great cars.

Pictured is my Alpine White 95 M3, I have an Estoril Blue 97 as well.

Pros — Handles great, brakes even better, timeless looks.
Cons — Shreads tires

Not much I can say about this car that hasn't been said a million times before me. Good pick-up with phenomenal handling.

My car has aftermarket wheels and Triflow Exhaust so it's a bit extra fun. Sounds good and looks great.

I've owned a C4 corvette, a 5.0 mustang and two 3-series BMW's and this car is easily the favorite of the lot. It's totally usable and performs like a true sports car.

Pros — Handling, Response, Cargo space, Engine sound
Cons — I could use a bit more power...aka it's a US model, not Euro

I love this car with all my heart. Classy yet aggresive. Understated yet stylish. I would only trade it in for an F1
McLaren.

The care is just fun to drive. It handles awesome. I can take corners, and the car is glued to the ground. The interior is getting old, and my seats are getting ripped, but hey I have been driving it for a long time.

Pros — Performance, handling, fun to drive, looks
Cons — electronics

This coupe was rated with 240hp but it sure felt  like a whole lot more! The torque led to an absolutely amazing acceleration curve.

Pros — Great gear box, fantastic handling, great looking car.
Cons — I sold it!
