The facelifted EP82 Starlet looks incredibly sleek in black. That aggressive front fascia is just so tight.

It might have been written off as a 'boy racer' back in the day, but grown adults definitely enjoyed driving it just as much.

Fun fact: this one is a rare AT model. Thanks to its wicked pull and easy handling, women were literally using this beast as a daily grocery getter.

It's got a ridiculously short wheelbase—we're talking Lancia Stratos territory here.

Despite being a compact 3-door hatch, the rear cabin space is more than generous.

Fold those rear seats flat, and as you'd expect, it reveals a cavernous cargo area.

At the heart of it is the legendary 4E engine. The synergy with the turbo is flawless, delivering a punch that completely exceeds the 1.3L realm.

Checking out the instrument panel, you'll spot a real piece of 90s nostalgia: an early-generation Carrozzeria head unit.
