How about a quick thread about what have you owned : A quick note about whats important to you ( car wise ) and how you rate them (keep it short) I will start it off..................... I rate cars by enjoyment - not overly worried about reliability but do care they do what they aim to do. 1: Mini - great fun 2: Ford…

1st car: 1995 Ford Fiesta
This is a 1.1l car I shared with my younger brother and prerry much learned to drive in it. It was fun to drive and solidly built, although a little basic compared to what I have now. I liked it. Fiesta's are great first cars and cost little to maintain.

2nd car: 1997 VW Polo
I got this 1.0l base model 6 months after I started driving because it had a solid reputation and was cheap to insure. I needed my own car to get to work. It was great at first but I quickly got bored of it and didnt like the fact that it had no standard safety features like airbags or antilock breaks. It also had no power steering. At around Christmas time the gearbox started acting up so I had to trade her into the mechanics and get another car.

3rd and current car: 1999 VW Bora comfortline 1.6
Great car, although it does cost a little more than the previous cars to fill up with petrol, it has overall good fuel economy especially since I get a clear run with it on the motorway in the mornings going into work before all the rush hour traffic. They're very solidly built cars and comfortable to drive. Ill be sad to see her go in June when I will sell her.I'm moving out of Ireland to London, where you don't need a car.
