Ok goons. It’s time for you to help Hiro with his ultimate decision.

I'd like a selection of you to nominate your favourite car(s) out of the options shown here, given the data that's been provided.

As a refresher, here's some stats.

From most powerful, to least powerful:

• Honda CR-X SiR - 160hp at 7600 rpm, 970 kg
  
• Mazda Familia GTX - 135hp at 7000 rpm, 1010 kg
  
• Starlet GT - 135hp at 6400 rpm, 1105 kg
  
• Toyota Sera - 110hp at 6400 rpm, 890 kg
  

From cheapest, to most expensive:

• Starlet GT - ¥1,240,000
  
• Mazda Familia GTX - ¥1,503,000
  
• Honda CR-X SiR - ¥1,547,000
  
• Toyota Sera - ¥1,600,000
  

All cars are front wheel drive, four cylinder, and reflect a similar segment in the market.

However, if you’re sitting here wondering “I don’t know what the fuck these numbers mean” - don’t worry. Hiro doesn't really either.

It’s not about the numbers for people like Hiro and I. There’s a certain quality that plays a bigger part of this decision, which I think outranks all others, and this is why I wanted to share cars stories with you.

This quality is which car… is the coolest.

I’ll leave it up to you to rank your own cool factor.

To help, I suggest consulting Japanese television commercials:
