    Only in Twin Turbo guise (this one is NA). I had a manual Twin Turbo for 15 years and it was fantastic. As mentioned, hugely under rated and easily tunable. Standard Twin Turbos produced around 300hp which was almost mind blowing 32 years ago when they were launched. It shows even the least desirable version (NA Auto) is appreciating. 10 years ago these were languishing around the £1k-1.5k price range.

The autos the manual version is faster than I mean. Newer autos are much better so if someone says all autos are worse than the manual equivalent/a hypothetical manual version then yeah, I'd agree with you. It doesn't stop me wanting a manual version regardless of whether it's faster or not, but that's just because I want to have change the gears myself, get the satisfaction of smooth changes, etc, more reward when I get the things right instead of just planting my foot and an auto dropping the gears for me. It also keeps me more focused on driving when I need to consider changing gears myself to overtake, etc. If I don't have much to do my mind wonders off. I also drive tractors and they're so slow, basically flat out everywhere, that I drift off thinking about other stuff and I can miss some things around me. A bit like how the character in the original Fast and Furious with the white VW Jetta is relaxed by engines, I'm relaxed by having a manual gearbox when driving.

    The interesting thing about the PT Cruiser is that the inline 4 that most of them came with is actually not terrible. It's a fairly torquey engine. The unfortunate news is that pretty much all non-JDM 300ZX with automatics had no option for the twin-turbo package that makes them legitimately fast, and it wouldn't have been in budget if it did have that, because those models are still quite desirable. Overall, the Porsche is the best option of the lot even with the janky roof, because the PT Cruiser handles terribly and the 300ZX without its turbos isn't a particularly fast car, though it does make a very nice grand tourer, since it does have enough power to handle high speeds fairly easily, even if the acceleration isn't great.
