Default the 92s coupe choise

Once during the year 1992 we had a huge variety of medium size engine coupe cars to make a choise on the market.....and once many of them showed some great performances, good handling on the road, some fun when driving them, some beautiful shapes, and good price as well....id like to get whats your best choise from the following car list, and why

- Opel Calibra 2.0i 16v
- Mazda 626 2.0 AWS
- Volvo 480 Turbo
- VW Corrado G60
- Honda Prelude 2.0
- Toyota Celica 2.0
- Nissan 200 SX Turbo
- Ford Probe 2.0
- BMW 325i E-30(with basic equipment to get a similar price to the other contenders)
- Audi Coupe 20V quattro


For me the choise goes straight for the Nissan, once for a competitive price(a similar price to the other cars on the list) the Nissan offered a 1.8 turbo engine accompanied with a rear wheel drive, the car was beautiful, and the sensations of the car were quite similar to others more powerful and expensive cars, such as the sierra cosworth

My second choise goes for the Volvo, although it had 120bhp, it had a cool turbo renault engine, the most compact, and the lightest shape, and the volvo was surprisingly the quickest when accelerating

the point its though, that my proposition was to get a list of coupes that costed less 22000 euros during the 92s, if the list had coupes that costed by 32000 euros, id include some sportive cars such as the toyota celica GT-4, the prelude 2.3 VTEC the S2, and so on

the corrado is pretty cool. its supercharged and there are endless kits out there to bump up the hp. ive read that a new cam, fuel pressure regulator, and chip give the car over 205hp. and in a 2600-2700lb car, that aint too shabby.

the 3series paved the way tho.

Nissan 200sx! 2 litre 4-banger, 220 turbocharged horses, extremely stiff chassis, LSD and RWD. Doesn't get much better than that.

Corrado is cool, but I'd stay miles away of the G60.

Volvo 480 Turbo obviously. Just hit the 'www' button at the bottom of this entry
Only one problem: EUR 22K wasn't enough in those days to buy you a 480 Turbo
:roll: The base model Turbo would empty your wallet for a whopping 58,150.00 old DUtch Guilders or EUR 28,150.00
