What car makes have you driven?

fjon

Here is a list of the more common cars you see on the roads in Ireland. I've left off a few luxury cars (Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley), and some others that are sold in such small numbers (e.g. Isuzu), as well as commercial only (e.g. Scania).
Which ones have you driven?
This could mean a car you own(ed), rented, test drove, or a mate's car you had a drive in.

Left all of those off cos they aren't too common. So I guess you can tick every box on the list then? Impressive!

1. Meriva.

Wibbs

[ x ] Alfa Romeo - Various including a boattail spyder and an even older 50's yoke. I don't care what people say I like them They stand out from the crowd.
[ x ] Audi - A couple. I know one was an RS of some nature. Wasn't that pushed.
[ x ] BMW M3/M5 and a few standard ones. Lovely car but never really lit a fire in me. The Pink Floyd of cars. Technically and objectively brilliant, but never did it for me.
[ ] Cadillac
[ ] Chevrolet/ Daewoo
[ x ] Citroen - Picasso and a few others. Did not like them at all.
[ x ] Daihatsu
[ x ] Fiat - Punto, Cinquecento(sp) Seicento(sp) OK actually they are what they are. Bit of fun too.
[ x ] Ford - Capri(1.6/3,0/2.8 Brooklands, Granada, Escort(cossie and RS2000) Sierra cosworth, Various fiestas(horrible, horrible little cars except the one with the Suziki(?) engine) 60's mustang
[ x ] Honda Integra Type R(both DC2 and DC5. The latter better screwed together great driver, but more brutish, the former one of the finest handling cars I've ever driven, but loud and rattley), Civic Type R, the original and the breadvan(the original is a mad yoke sadly with a bad rep), S2000(lovely to look at, but I found it too on off), NSX. All good cars with tremendous feel. Busy engines mind.
[ ] Hyundai
[ x ] Jaguar E type, and a more recent one, can't remember the model. E type was bloody lovely.
[ ] Jeep
[ ] Kia
[ x ] Land Rover Old stylee dead sheep and panting labrador in the back. Horrible driving position. Recent range rover. Nice, but apparently more in the workshop than out.
[ x ] Lexus yep but can't remember which one.
[ x ] Mazda MX 5,nice car.
[ x ] Mercedes Benz, three of various vintages. Could never tell them apart:o
[ x ] MINI Original mini, standard and cooper. Great craic. New one is nice too. Feels well planted.
[ x ] Mistubishi Evo, 4 and 5. Mental bloody car.
[ x ] Nissan - Micra no power, rattly and horrid to me anyway.
[ x ] Opel - Corsa and Astra. Ditto on the meh. The beigeist car on the road. About as exciting as a flannel. Bloody horrible smell from the interior plastics. Bulletproof mechanically I gather though.
[ x ] Peugeot - Various. 205 Gti, both the 1.6 and 1.9. Brilliantly dynamic car. 106 Rallye. One of the maddest little yokes ever. Unreal handling and fun.
[ x ] Renault - 19 turbo. Rear engined Gordini turbo(insane!) and 5 turbo
[ ] Rover
[ ] Saab 9000
[x ] SEAT - Ibiza, Leon. Nice cars
[ ] Skoda
[ x ] Subaru Various scoobie turbos. Great car, great feel. Not an evo.
[ x ] Suzuki swift, older one
[ x ] Toyota - Yaris(actually wasn't too bad.) Older supra. Older Celicas
[ x ] Volkswagen - Golf's including Gti's mark 1, mark 2 and a more recent ones. I like em. Mark 1 was a nice light car, the mark 2 I remember had weightlifter steering, the later ones were like mini beemers, beautifully screwed together. Corrado. Bloody lovely car and classic waiting to happen(if it hasn't happened yet, it should)
[ x ] Volvo - Old style T5 estate. Maaaaadness.:D

Here is a list of the more common cars you see on the roads in Ireland. I've left off a few luxury cars (Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley), and some others that are sold in such small numbers (e.g. Isuzu), as well as commercial only (e.g. Scania).
Which ones have you driven?
This could mean a car you own(ed), rented, test drove, or a mate's car you had a drive in.
