Mk3 XR3 4 speed just does it for me for some reason. Maybe because of how rare they are!

The white xr3 looks very good, I almost bought one when I was younger but the insurance was a bit high so I bought an xr2 instead, some reason was a lot cheaper to insure

to be fair to it it was a good reliable car but being young at the time i hated it, even though 3 quid was about quarter of tank. i replaced it with a mk2 cavalier sri 130 now that was a good car back then. would love one now.
