BA FTW!

The BA's have a nice, smooth curvy shape with some nifty little touches... and its the only range to pump out an extra 2 cylinders.

And i have one - so ofcorse im gonna be bias.

yeah they don't steal BJ's, no self respecting thief wants a car that digests its own parts!

BA's all the way. esp the sexy hardtops

Since you used check boxes and not radio buttons, I took the opportunity to vote for the bg and the ba. I like the SP because I own one, and it's fun as. It's light, has all the extras, and prettymuch outclasses anything else that was available at the time (corolla, pulsar, lancer etc).

I like the ba as well, primarily because of its unique looks. Moreso the hatch than the hardtop, but it is pretty amazing what some people have done with them (ie. Rupe).

I don't like the bj, because it strikes me as being very whitegoods style. I think Mazda/Ford kinda went the wrong direction there, going away from the very unique, almost sports-car looks of the bg and ba to something very humdrum and samey. But I guess as you point out, it keeps the thieves away.

We purchased a BJ 40th Anniversary Astina auto to replace our V6 626 in oct '99 and it has been a great car....but sadly it will be going to Janets brother next year as the one who should be obeyed wants a new car....a Mazda of course but which one thats her decission.

this strikes me as a poll where the car model with the most owners will win.

Does anyone have a different favourite to the one they actually own?

I was looking at buying an SP20, but when i compared it to my BA, it just didn't cut it. Even though it was newer, it felt flimzier, cheaper and it didn't strike me as a very refined body shape.

But thats just my 2 cents, again i am going to cheer on the BA because i own one.
