As I said earlier, there isn't really anything I can think of directly comparable to a CRZ, but I've been on Autotrader mulling over some possibilities, some of which are maybe just a tad different, others maybe closer in spirit, and others because I just feel they might be worth a look.
202202182708531 The Hyundai Velostar is a bit of an oddball if for no other reason than the asymmetrical body sides, one of which has one door and t'other has two!. Interesting looking car though, fairly practical, likely to be very reliable (uses Kia Ceed/Hyundai i30 underpinnings). Comes with either a 137bhp n/a 1.6 like the above, or a 184bhp turbocharged version. Not a common car as it didn't strike a chord with UK buyers, but I like them!.
202203273995683 The Toyota Celica is getting on a bit now, but this pampered, one owner, low mileage example of the 189bhp version has been garaged all its life.
202203093380977 I did think about a Civic Type R, but it is a bit full on. The Type S GT has the looks, but a less frenetic driving experience. This one has a red leather interior, but ones with a more subtle interior are available.
202203213788900 I have long been a fan of the Volvo C30's distinctive looks. Underneath you have a Ford Focus, so absolutely nothing to fear.
202201221633398 I'd consider the Sirocco to be one of VW's best looking cars. I was always baffled as to why someone would choose a 3 door Golf over one of these only slightly less practical but fantastic looking coupes. I've linked a green one because that has always been my favourite colour on the 'Roc. But, I'd be wanting to look closely into the TSI engine as to when they changed from the problematic chain drive to the much more reliable belt drive.
202203163636587 The Vauxhall Astra GTC is, IMO, another great looking car. Fairly practical for a coupe, reliable too as far as the petrol engines go. A choice of 120 and 140bhp 1.4 turbo's, a 200bhp 1.6 turbo and the 280bhp 2.0 turbo (though you'd need around £12k to get into one of them).
