Fun question at @Amphicar770 ! I can see the Alpha 164 reference! I always loved that car. I tried to convince my mom to get one back in 1991. She got a Mitsubishi Diamante instead with the 3000GT motor. Probably the more reliable choice, but I would have loved to have borrowed that Alpha as a high school kid at the time. I makes me think of the Audi A4 from the early 2000s (the B3 model if I'm not mistaken) in its tailored tidiness.
Toyota MR2
Audi TT Quattro (mk1)
Audi S5
Audi S3
VW Golf R (mk8)
In that order, still have the TT .... someday I hope someone makes a somewhat affordable EV coupe to replace it though I will think about the Fiat 500e Abarth if it comes to the states.

Well my vehicles from passing my test in 1990
1972 Austin Maxi 1750
- First car, what more can I say!
1978 Ford Escort Mk2 - Everyone seemed to have one
1982 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 - A rare 2 door non convertible version
1987 Vauxhall Cavalier Mk2 Club - What an interior!! No one would ever nick it. First serious mods with dropped suspension, cam, exhaust, strut brace and wheels.
1988 Ford XR2 - Great for falling off roundabouts backwards and why i prefer larger cars!
1998 Vauxhall Vectra 2.5 SRi
2004 Vauxhall Zafira GSi - First nearly new car (6months old when i got it)
2007 Vauxhall Zafira VXR - First new car. Modded to stage 1.5 and 280BHP
2009 Vauxhall VXR8 - Probably the best all round car that i have owned. 6 month old when bought. Modded exhaust to hear the V8, gearbox remap and stage 1 mapping
2011 Subaru WRX STi 320 - 2nd new car. Best handling car i've owned, scarily quick round the corners. Loved the ability to vary the centre diff
2013 Audi RS4 - Year old when bought. Fun, but no VXR8 or STi. Cramped inside too
2019 Range Rover Evoque P300 HSE R-Dynamic - My 3rd car from new. Quite enjoyed and surprisingly quick for what it is, but nowhere near previous 3 cars. More room than the RS but still a little cramped for 4x 6ft adults.
2022 P*2 - 4th new car. This one is giving the VXR8 a challenge as my best all round car, just need to get it back on the summer tyres.
(and embarrassingly, in the last 15 years my other half has managed to keep the same car - VW Eos FSI... i think i'm a little fickle)
