The Monza with a tweaked V-8 was pretty fun.

How about the Pacer, the Gremlin, or the Spirit? (all AMC)

I haven’t seen very many Gremlins about.

How about the Vega? It was the first car in which iron ore was just ground up and pressed into panels instead of wasting time refining the iron, making steel and having to wait for it rust.

My 1962 Monza had a flat aircooled six behind the back seat.
The only automobile I ever owned that I wish I still had.
White convertible with black top and turquoise interior. I drove it off the dealers lot for $2250 plus tax.

My first car was a ‘75 VW Scirocco. It was a really fun car. It cracked in half a few months after I sold it.
I’m surprised the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon was not on the list. I had two. One was a GLH Turbo. I saw a mint condition Horizon about two hours ago.

The Chevy Monza was one of the few good looking domestic smaller cars of the mid-late seventies, and the optional V8 was particularly intriguing but that chassis was just not up to it, being a Vega at heart as it actually was. We’re talking the original, sleek hatch and not the really Vega looking notchback, here.
A high school friend of mine had one, dark maroon with the oyster off white interior, pretty and very fast for the era. But, the engine bay was literally crammed full, it overheated and the tires wore prematurely due to constant alignment problems as well as scrubbing against the wheelwell. It rattled like a bucket of bolts, too, from new.

Those early Sciroccos were cool and definitely rare these days.

The Mazda RX-7, gone forever apparently. My first new car once I graduated was a '95 RX-7. I've had "better" cars since, but never a more fun car. Went through oil like crazy but I slapped a Peter Farrell catback on it, installed a tachometer and turbo-timer, put some sticky, expensive tires on it, went to my first track days in it, participated in my first autocross in it and in general loved it more than my girlfriend at the time.
I still miss that car.

Buddy of mine bought a new Monza — sharp. He was somewhat disappointed when he found out you had to partially raise the engine off its mounts to change the spark plugs, though.

Where did Mercury Capris go?
They rusted away to small piles of brown dust.
I know.
I owned one.
I loved it, but it was tough to care for.
