Cars you'd love to drive but would never buy

    What cars would you love to drive but never buy, and why?

    I'd like to take a Mini Cooper S for a spin because they are supposed to be a hoot but i'd never buy one because I don't have breasts.

    I'd love to drive a lotus Elise - best handling cars in the world but wouldn't buy one because I'd rack up a huge dentist bill getting my filling put back in.

    I'd love to drive a Citroen C6 cause they look sh1t cool but wouldn't buy one because I am sane

    What about you?

    Short of an Ariel Atom or some kind of a racing car, I can't really think of anything.

    Always wanted a go in an old mini - was in one as a kid and it felt like you were travelling at warp speed, but the speedo was only showing 60:D

    Looking at an Alfa GT diesel, can't bring myself to do it even though it's the car I think I want....I know i'd only break it:(

    Megane R26.R


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭KerranJast


    Ferrari F430. I'd barely get it over 10mph though for fear of dinging it off something :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,375 ✭✭✭kmick


    Any Alpha - they look lovely but break down a lot I hear.
    BMW M3 - too costly to run, service, insure etc but Id love to have one.

    Nissan Micra, I could finally confirm whether it's the fault of the car or the people driving them.

    I know their reliability has improved. Just not enough for my liking.

    Thanks for pointing out the Alfa bit :). I very quickly glanced over that post and was wondering what reliability issues Alpina models had over other BMWs.
