car selection list

this is all pre-test drive except holden astra:
budget: 15000ish (this sort of priced me out of the new car isn't it... ) but new car willing to pay 18000 limit for a auto 5 door.
the factors to be considered: possible trading software purchase later in the year ($3000)

2nd hand ford focus - errr, good drive, but a bit too wacky
2nd hand astra hatch - nice drive, a bit dull interior, look a bit sissy according to andy
new swift - cute look, mini coopereque exterior, classy interior, manual/auto?
2nd hand civic - dull interior, could be expensive (honda depreciate slower)
new jazz - nice albeit a bit too bulky, super mini van like shape. cool paddle shift, but can't afford VTIS
new fiesta - updated fiesta looks weird with pertruding lights and non-matching tail lights. interior better than previous fiesta. updated safety feature. could be good
new corolla - bland...
new yaris - funky... egg shaped. could also be a nice drive
new porsche 911 - a throwback to previous gen 911's, loses none of the athleticism or charm. impractical backseats only for infants.
Ferrari F430 - wonderfull look, wonderful engine, convertible form oozes style, feminine lines with musculine power. everything a sports car should be. v8 loves to sing.. too thirsty at the pump though
Murcielago - big fat and yellow. homer simpson disguised as a supercar? ugly waist line
Evo 9 - service interval too short
WRX STI - firebreeding look, could be a rocket. leaps ahead of the previous REX
BMW M5 - big saloon shaped super car, but M6 is faster...
Gallardo - squashed Murcielago
Cayman - urrrrrgh ugly get it out get it out
Zonda - get out my way
Rolls Roys Phamton - check out my flat nose... bring it out pedestrians!
Ferrari F360 - who wants an out of date car!
Lotus Exige - no power steering!
Corvette - i'll rather drive exige with no power steering
Viper - i run out of woolworth petrol discount faster with this car
Ford GT - oh yeah speed!
Mercedes SLR McLaren - hmmm waiting list
Carrera GT - civilized german maddog, so what's the point
Ariel Atom - (gone karting)
Ferrari Enzo - v12.... oh yeah, closest thing i'll ever get to drive an F1
