I currently drive a wagon I inherited from my parents. I'm a pretty frugal guy but I want to upgrade to something
a) more suitable for the city
b) more fun
c) better fuel economy perhaps
But I can't really decide what to buy. Pic related cheap shitbox (in non sport edition), or double the price for the sport edition

another option, 3x the cost of a cheap shitbox (more for a nice one) but much more fun
>>15076533
Yet another option totally different to the other two
>>15076543
So I guess what I'm saying with this thread is: how did you choose your car from so many disparate options? Or did you just know what you wanted? Did you just coldly see what ticked the most boxes, or did you drive every one and pick the best feels?

As long as you don't have to carry around a bunch of shit this is basically the best "fun" city car on the market.

My girl has a corolla, I want something that doesn't run out of power on a daily commute.

Whatever it is will end up with roof racks for bikes/kayaks, but I'm also 6'2" and I've never been in a 500. Have you owned one?

>run out of power
Is it electric?
My 60hp corolla commutes fine.

I owned an Abarth for a few years and loved it. I lived in NYC and it was perfect for work as I'm a wine rep and had to hit different accounts all over the city. Fun enough when you got the chance to wind it out and easy as fuck to park.
I only sold it because I got promoted to regional manager and now have to drive between cities a lot and spending more than 2-3 hours at a time in that car in traffic made me want to kill myself. It's got a surprising amount of room for such a small car but the seating position is torture for extended periods.

Swift is a brilliant car, wars nothing, drives well, reliable. 1.3 cant sprint though. Sport is glorious. Next year they will give it a 1.4 turbo, and it will be almost a god machine. Maybe wait for that one. Or try finding the vitara same turbo engine, manual, pretty spacious. Ultimate affordable shitbox
Don't get an infinity. Seriously, dont.
They often compare the Fiat Abarth with the Fiesta ST as small/city hot hatches. 5 doors, sporty, good mpg, plenty of space.

why not the infiniti?

Eats alot, shit reliability, mediocre fit and finish, subpar driving ability, overpriced
