Hi all,

I'm looking for a fun to drive car not older than 2010. With good reliability and some practicality. Currently the list on my mind as below, :

1. Suzuki Swift Sport ZC32S
2. Ford Fiesta ST
3. Peugeot 208 GTi

Do share if you know of any other car fit the bill.

How reliable is the Fiesta ST and 208 GTi? Are they expensive to maintain, do share some example.

Much thanks.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a manual.

Thanks for bringing up CR-Z, lsm1991 and zenix! Why I didn't thought of it, damn... I guess now it's down to SSS and CR-Z, thanks a bunch!

Very inclined towards FD2R. But the ride is rock hard, 100km/h in 6th around 3100rpm will be loud and thirsty. So it's drop out from my list.

Note to zenix: I know those DSG-Semi-Robotic-DCT-Sequential manual gearbox are quick! But nothing beats the feel of shifting a delicious short-throw stick!
