For me the best all rounder old school is the Classic Mini/ Mini Clubman,
1.) Size is very compact for you to keep in your garage.
2.) Trimmings are still in production that you can order thru the net.
3.) A "smile car" which guarantee people look at.
4.) Hop up kits and (Honda) engine conversion is ok.
5.) Parking is not a problem.
In short ito talaga ang "LARUAN".

Compare to:
a.) Lancer L type to Boxtype the problem with this is the trimmings. after market parts . ( tail lights, and other lenses, Dashboard)

b.) Corolla Sprinter was ok, but make sure you get one with complete trimmings.
c.) Corolla box type Ok for drift look.
