    TS is looking for a sporty ride, not a slow 2-door 4x4. Even if you modify it to look like a Merc G or an LR, it ain’t going to be sporty.

    Unless his daily office route is through twisty mountain roads, a sporty vehicle won't be so sporty in reality ...

    Look for a good used gen1 supercharged BMW MINI. Sort the quirks out w/ updates & upgrades, maintenance will be simple. The electonics, elementary. Fun daily & project in 1.Planning to buy a sporty daily driver

    For me though, I would go with a used WRX and then tune it to STi power outputs.

    Sure the civic is faster and a little bit lighter but that doesn’t mean its sportier.

    Autodaily.vn | Honda Civic 1.5L VTEC Turbo 2016 vs Ford Focus 1.5L EcoBoost 2016 - YouTube

    Skip at 8:46 and at 13:05

    Although we can’t understand the language, we can understand the context of the video. The Focus is faster on their mini track, and it handles tighter than the Civic RS...

    Pero sa pogi points, I think Civic RS talaga ang panalo.

    You can’t blame people for wanting a fast car. A sporty ride does not need twisty mountain roads everyday, maybe just something to get you quicker than most of those boring rides on the road.

    Have the same problem with the TS i was eyeing the miata rf, but when i sat on it sa pims last week, lagpas ng windshield ulo ko at mukhang hindi proportion sa akin. My height is 6'2" weight is 220lbs
    If the ts is a bit smaller than i am my recommendation is miata

    totally agree with the mini

    friend whose family owns only SUVs and CUVs

    he used his own money to buy a mini

    --

    i get it

    pag puro SUV/CUV ang dina-drive mo lagi

    there are times you just wanna drive a go kart

    My vote also for civic rs, or maybe add to your choices lancer evo v11 above though second hand nga lang makuha mo for this one.

    ^I'd pick the Civic RS as well. Mas simple pero beasty.
