What "affordable fun" stable mate for your Fiesta do you have?

[rallytaff]

I keep thinking about a miata, and maybe doing a v8 swap with a monster motorsports or flyinmiata kit... I am just too tall :| I don't like the feeling having the windshield right in the middle of my FOV.

I'm 6'2'' and had a Miata for quite a few years. My solution was to pull the seat forwards and then recline the rear. Had no problem being too tall.

Picked this up a few weeks ago to resell...sure is fun! Affordable - nope; I would not call it that. Fun, absolutely!

A buddy has one of those( one of the newer ones) I believe he leases it. He likes to lease cars drive them and dump . Had a CSTV a few years back. Ya he got money.

I've owned a pair of CTS-V Wagons and without the third pedal, they're quite boring, to be honest. The new CTS-V blackwing would be nice though.

A Caddy V-wagon WITH said third pedal would actually be cool to own, given it's rarity, and unexpected performance.

The Blackwing is BadA**! I saw black on black at the Pittsburgh Auto show this year! BRUTAL.

I would take the Nissan GT-R over the Caddy any day. Look for the tricked out one that was at the LA Motor Show this year. What a beast!

Neither are "affordable." Bastards are bleeding me dry.

i embarrasingly have to admit to my weird build - im all torso so my head touches in lots of cars. na miata felt like i was wearing a tank top

i cant really recline much (bad back) so i look ridiculous.

Someone combined flyinmiata offroad kit with v8 swap and its beautiful

i do sometimes look at exomotive exocet which uses miata donor,that+offroad kit....

In all the variants I've owned, I would agree!! GT-R old and new beat out the Caddy wagon (but I haven't got my hands on a Blackwing yet, so we'll see if it holds true...GT-R35 is kind of a slug to through around tight canyon turns).

Have you seen the video on YT about the guy who's GT-R puts out 2,000hp and it's a daily driver. It's insane!

Admittedly I only use YouTube as my mechanic and to watch vehicle reviews specifically to what I am buying at the time...not much else.
