Generally, new cars have been homogenised by regulation and convergent evolution, such that there are not really many bad cars any more. And they are all a bit samey.
That's despite my lamenting the surprisingly questionable ergonomics in many of them.
It therefore is much more a question of personal preferences than ever it was.
I'd also like to try an NC1, even if it's probably far too much car for me. I might be wrong...

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
