Some alternatives to the alternative I chose to replace my 8 with:

E39 M5


Or

S2000 (If I could handle reduced space)

Or

FC/FD RX-7 (If I could handle a less reliable/older car with reduced space)

Yeah I have looked into them. Last year I had a range rover classic and it was tough enough finding parts reasonably priced for that. The blower motor went right at the beginning of the winter and I was going to work out to be about 1500 to fix it. I couldn't imagine the cost of ownership on an Esprit. I'm not really in a position in my life right now to justify making that kind of purchase.

Who knows though. If you asked me this time last year my answer was a RX8 R3.

I can't believe I forgot this one...

If money, reliability/age and size were not a concern, I would absolutely own a Audi Quattro.





Considering how rare and pricey those are, I think I'd more realistically own a TT RS before that... and I would definitely not mind that either. I really love the Ur-Quattro though. I expect others wont appreciate it as much though lol.
