honest opinion between these cars ?!

Hi all , i am VW owner i have VW MK2 VR6 and i am about to sell it , and i want to choose between these cars , the problem is i can only get a car with max. 1600CC of the taxes and customs is soooooooooooo high in Egypt, the more CC you get the higher the price for taxes and customs ex. it i want VW R32 i will pay the price of the car and another 300% and more for taxes and customs .... coz of that i have to choose one with less CC my options is :

1- My favorite all the time Mazda RX-8 (which year is better coz i heared 2004 is not good , Manual or automatic) .

2-Mini Cooper S .

3-BMW 3 series , 1.6 L .

4-VW New Bettle .

5-Honda Civic 1.6 L .

thats all , thanxxxxxxxx

Sorry, you will have o wait for the 2009 version.

RX 8's do not take well to the heat. They have now been upgraded.

I would think that the RX-8 would really shine in areas that tax based on engine size; It would easily be the quickest of those choices, other benefits aside.

For RWD:

1. rx-8

2. BMW - that 1.6L ain't to great, why not an s2000? or an is-300?

For FWD:

Cooper-S. the 09's are even more impressive.

Honda Civic EK9
This car is insanely light. i've seen this thing do faster laps then a tuned RWD with a Type-R motor and dialed suspension.

Beetle - uhhh you do know that's not a pen holder...

Mugen RR !

oh wait, thats a Japan only thing .... :P

BMW is great if u dont mind the same 30-40 yr look, and expensive maintenance

Rx8 is good if u know how to drive

Cooper S if u prefer the smallest car and dont mind to bump ur head every single drive and questionable engine life.

VW New bettle same as Cooper S

Honda Civic is good if you want to look like everyone else on the road, or simply watched too much 2F2F
