Who has owned a Hyundai coupe or a Toyota Celica before moving onto a zed?

I had a Hyundai coupe Gen2 (bug eye) , then a mini cooper then now a zed

My last car was a FIAT punto... but it had an active sport badge to support the beastly 1.2 8V.

Jumping to the 350z was incredible, I and many other Z owners have a car with an exhaust note to be proud of. (COBRA) raaahhhhhhh!!!!

I had a hyundai coupe sIII as my first car and it was trimendous for that age

 

My mate who also wants a zed had a celica at the time of my coupe. We had a trip away one day into the country still probably one of my best days in motoring.

I had not owned either before buying a zed but I was looking at buying a Hyundai Coupe before I got the zed. I wanted something that had 4 seats and not too impractical to own, with reasonably cheap insurance. The coupe was reasonably good looking so that was the car I chose.

 

I spent months looking for a good example and found that there were 2 in the age and condition I was looking for at local garages. So I planned to go and give them a good look over the next day but noticed there was a zed for sale nearby. With that added to the list I got some insurance quotes and was really surprised at how cheap the zed was going to be compared to he coupe.

 

Next day me and the wife went to look at them and she was not really paying much attention to any car I looked at until you guessed it we looked at the zed. The words that came from here moth were "I want car that looks and sounds like that" and " I don't care if its got 2 seats" Now who am I to disappoint her so we looked for the best zed I could find. She helped pick a black zed with 19in wheels, NISMO spoiler and a HKS hi-power exhaust, it was over my budget but she said spend it you only live once
