i have had a few starlets, and every time i have bought another similar small hatchback i ALWAYS go back to starlets. i found myself thinking yeah this cars ok and i enjoy it i guess but its not a STARLET. the day i sold my first starlet to my mate to buy a 106 indigo blue rallye he steamed of ahead of me etc and i just thought what have i done,seriously i am a dick and all i could think about was the starlet and how much work i had put in and how it made me feel. so to sumarise and agree with others above,you can get other cars out there and they will be cool and ok but they will never be that hit of wickedness that you used to get from ure starlet good luck in what ever u choose buddy
