But once you were in the car, it really didn't matter. The way you communicate with the car is almost telepathic.

So -- who cares if you look like a fool getting in and out of your car? Once you are behind the wheel, you tend to forget the orgami/yoga moves required to get there...

While my top choice for a new car is still a Cayman S, the following cars are also on my list:

- Lotus Exige (surprise surprise)
- Ford Mustang
- Fiat Abarth 500
