I drove a Caterham 7 a couple of times in the UK and it was just SOOOO much fun

Having said that, I would NOT consider it as a daily driver ....

I like my creature comforts far too much to drive one of those in the rain or when it's cold ....

I'm not a big fan of creature comforts in a car. Granted, a stereo would be nice, but I could suffice with an iPod and one earphone.

Beyond that, the heater in the Miata pretty much sucks, so I just need something to keep my feet warm while I'm driving in the winter with the top down...

Rain? Top down? Not a problem in my world...

Brant, have you seen the new Caterham RST V8? It comes with a 340hp 2.0-liter V8!

I tried searching for a thread I made in Car Talk, but the search engine must not be working today.

BTW, nice car Trent. I'm just sayin that cuz I have to though.

RX8 is too much of a compromise for my taste. :/

Haven't seen it...but I'll go try and dig it up. Not sure I want that big an engine in the car, though. It's plenty sprightly with a 4-banger.

Westfield (the poor cousin of Caterham) make the Seight, which has the 3.5l Rover V8 in it. It literally spits petrol and goes like stink.

I have the appearance package getting put on next week so IMO it will look better. George, it is quite underpowered compared to my other cars, but it is sooooooo smooth, so I love driving it daily.

I like the look of it

The red colour looks very good.

I didn't like the interior when I sat in one over here, I thought that the two tone was too gawdy.
