Just a wee feeler here: What would be the top 5 pocket rockets of all time and where would the City fit in, and I'm talking factory cars or close to it, not highbreds.
Heres a few of mine
Mini Copper S (early ones)
Honda City T2
Datsun 1200 Sedan or Coupe
Suzuki Swift GTI
Fiat Abarth
Toyota Starlet's
I'm sure theres plenty more Lets hear your opinions.

Re: Pocket Rockets
yeh, i dun think a civic is a pocket rocket
starlet turbo isnt really that pocket rocket either, its close,
but not that pocket...
By pocket we're talking closer to Kei class type sizes

Re: Pocket Rockets
Don't forget Suzuki Cappuccino
They are small, light weight, turbo charged, similar engine ouput with City Turbos although they are 660cc.
They are extremely well balanced tiny FR sport car.

Re: Pocket Rockets
How about the Nissan March Super-Turbo, has supercharger and a turbo!!
Re: Pocket Rockets
ya March is a quick car too, I love the Impul Version.
Does anyone know why Originally Nissan said want to bring March into Australia, but later on they changed their mind?

Re: Pocket Rockets
Although the mini cooper "s" have a great following, they are a piece of junk to drive (in comparison to a City Turbo!)
I'd have to say the City Turbo would be definately top 5. Especially the T2! They are so solid and bang for buck, they are still comparable to late 90's vehicles
