In that case you'll be buying parts more often than if it was the VVTi lol

It is rather unreliable in comparison to the "fight-to-the-death" Toyota unit

While I said the NSX is a potential moneypit, have you heard the rumour that Honda have never had a (stock) VTEC system/ VTEC-related motor failure? Might not be true, but it's what I heard...

I do recall something like that... they've sold either 1 or 10 million of them and no failures were recorded.... sounds familiar

How about putting the year model car to help with the comparison.

Because in the grand scheme of things, if you only have 20K to spend, and you end up buying a 12 year old super car, you can bet your left nut it will cost a lot more in the long run than an new Golf - as an example.. and especially if you plan on using it as a track day weapon.

Track work is a lot harder on a car than regular driving - so the comparison is a little stupid without specific guidelines...

Couldn't be bothered - I partipating in the "now" generation - besides these days we operate in sound bites.. so if a poll is posted, the options should be detailed inside the post.. - and not require additional research... that is what the Political Forum is for.

I only drove M5 out of all those cars and it's fabulous.

But I would spend my money on NSX It's just special

In my country we have 0 real racing tracks so i have nothing to do with nsx,exige,cerbera,skyline.Also distance from one town to another are short so no need for maser or m5. MR2 is just shit. Gti is good, but just two wheel drive.Same goes to clio. Cosworth is very cool car, real legend, but it is becoming just too old and so i would pick wrx. Also only car i have driven here and it was amazing fun.

Maybe if they were planted into a power pole, if not hey are two to four times a WRX, M5, even a early 90's model still is more than twice a WRX.

Whatever, take the WRX, the rest would have milage spanning Jupiter's orbit and interior smelling like a corpse.
you have to remember that these cars are alot cheaper in the UK then Australia, but I agree it still seems a little odd
I stand corrected then, on price, wow a Lotus Exige in the same price braket. But as RC45 said it be cool to see the milage as well, and yeah couldn't be bothered reseaching either.
Even so I'd still take the rexy, its a silver MY03 Hatch exactly like mine
