Theoreticals: recommend me a quirky supermini

[DVee8]

Has anyone mentioned a toyota starlet

[Eddie Honda]

An economy Reliant?

 

(Regal/Rebel/Ant/Robin/Kitten/Rialto/Fox)

[Rave]

Because it's rear engined and wears a super mini.

 

"But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda"

[vulgalour]

Suzuki Cappucino and Nissan Figaro

 

Mazda/Autozam Carol

 

Lada Oka

 

 

Are these quirky enough?

[Ghosty]

Lupo in a garish colour so you get the matching seats. Preferably yellow.

[twosmoke300]

Mk1 106

[M'coli]

^^ That's my current chariot

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Got 10k spare and fancy a sweet soundtrack? Buy a Triumph GT6.

[MorrisItalSLX]

Peel P50

[Aston Martin]

Mitsuoka Micra

[nebuchenezer]

Suzuki Cappucino

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want one of these so much but I physically cannot fit inside one

 

Uno 70S

[Craig the Princess]

Renault Vel Satis

 

(On the basis when anyone asks what car they should get they generally get something completely outside of the speciation)

Suzuki ALto Works (HA21 version) ........... main reason I loved my work stay in japan

Charade GTTi was one of the best looney tunes cars I've ever had the fun to blast about in....... albeit temporarily.

I raise your Fiat 126 to a 127 - loved mine. Really did..... miss it bad!

[Lacquer Peel]

Post-2003 Daihatsu Charade, they seem a bit quirky, their roly poly handling was attacked by the Troy Queefs of modern motoring magazines, OMG NOT NURBURGERING.

I like them, I'm surprised one hasn't been on the collective Autoshite fleet yet.

205

[cros]

 

Diesel 'A' series quirky enough?

[Inspector Morose]

The granddaddy of superminis?

 

[M'coli]

205

Forgot about that too - had a TD one, dead comfy, pish steering lock, dreadful location for the tape player.

[John F]

Toyota Glanza V?

 

130 bhp in something the size of a shoe is bound to put a smile on your face, although prices are firming up on them nowadays.

[Squirrel2]

Early Renault Twingo, preferably in 'Kermit' green. Weren't these first generation Twingos only available in LHD?

[oldcars]

Reliant Rialto.

[dougiefourspeed]

These are brilliant fun, if you can handle the rustz.

 

[M'coli]

Forgot about KAs, I drove one in 1999 on hire around Aberdeenshire. Handled lovely, so I'd imagine a SportKA would be even better.

 

Twingoes do tick various boxes, too.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Ooooh

 

Metro Turbo

Samba Sport

Polo hatch (with obligatory hillclimb bergrenner motor of course!)

Fiat/Zastava 600

They handle as well as a 106 GTi/VTS. The engine is no TU though, its a bit wheezy. I enjoyed the one I owned though.

Is a Puma too big? They'll go up in value eventually.

[M'coli]

Had a Puma, The Moog currently has it. Lovely thing it was, but I didn't fit in it too well!

[bramz7]

How about a Justy? Still some late 90s ones about if eBay/gumtree are to be believed. Almost always up north too.

[dougiefourspeed]

Another one I've always liked the look of is this shape of Suzuki Swift.
