1998 Nissan Almera "sport" 1.4
1990 Eunos Roadster (JDM MX5)
2001 Nissan Micra (990cc auto)
Shared a 1998ish BMW 318is
Shared a 1997ish Mercedes Benz C200
2005 Mazda RX8 6 port
2008 Volvo XC70 2.4 D5
2007 Suzuki Swift Sport.

Can't say which is my favorite because I've loved each and every one for their own reasons.
I regret selling the Mazda's most and was delighted when I sold the Volvo because I was never going to do the work it needed.

My current swift is fantastic and exactly what I need right now, although I do want to start changing parts of it.


Edit: worth adding.

While between cars I borrowed
2005 Renault Megane saloon 1.4
2009 Mazda 6 1.8 which instill borrow when I need space.
My Fiance's 2005 Nissan Micra 1.0 which is a real work horse and will do over 160kph on a long hill.

Cian, this is NOT an admonishment.

My Cortina 1300 did exactly 100mph down a hill outside Castleisland in 1978. I got the feeling it wasn't designed for that speed when the passenger window popped inwards on top of* the soon to be MrsN. She didn't say ANYTHING till our next stop. Then she made up for it.

OK exaggeration, it didn't land on her, it just popped out of its runners and flapped a little, but it sounded like Armageddon.

edit to say : sorry for the off topic post. won't do it again.

Ah, I remember the good old days when I was young and had loads of disposable income I used to change the car every 2 - 3 years. Started with a Peugeot 205 then went through a phase of Honda/Toyota/Mazda. When I got married and had kids, bought the Mrs a 306 and a Celica for myself...kept that for 17 years...

Probably just a total of 6 cars in 30 years of driving - the Celica really throws out the average

Don't see too many of them...

beertons

01 Golf 1.4, new. Had a few pound to play with when I was younger. Had been driving a van 4 years by then.
03 Golf 1.9, in 2004. Upgraded to a diesel 5 door. Does what I want, and can fit in anywhere when parking.

greasepalm

First car third hand was a 2 door fiat 127 mustard colour.
Ended up having to do a rebore when engine was running on 2 cyls.

Brand new 1988 model micra 2 door with full sports kit and got a sunroof in red

Third hand was a jap import mitsubishi spacewagon 1989 and still in use today.

Next was another spacewagon 2000 bought cheap and needing repairs but structural rust underneath and other things i said no as too costly.

Following week another spacewagon same colour 2001 and now a 5 seater as using rear for twin subs and amps as i lock loud.

So fiat 127 900cc
jap import spacewagon 1.8
Micra 1988 1.0
spacewagon 2000
spacewagon 2001

I prefare to buy cars that last and not changing every few years.
