What kind of car do the After Hours users drive or have driven?

freshpopcorn

I only learnt to drive in the past few years.

I currently have an 08 1.4 VW Golf with 263,00KM on the clock.

I know it's not the best car in the World but with the price of cars I can't be bothered changing.

It's been in our family since 2011 it was purchased with 49,000km or 59,000km.

Apart from the gearbox and clutch needing changing at 100,000km it's been fairly well behaved.(Touch wood).

What kind of car do the After Hours users drive or have driven?

My partner and I share a 1996 aquamarine Nissan Micra, we’ve had it for over ten years.

I believe that it’s the secular equivalent of a sin to blow a fortune on a new car every year, like so many primary school teachers and well-to-do professionals like those do. A ten-twenty year old car is just as good for most ordinary users’ purposes to be honest. New cars are mainly a vehicle for tacky bragging.

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good.

Best motor I ever druv (sic) was a red soft-top Ford Mustang, rented at LAX & hammered all the way to Vegas. A dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. Never got the smell of those coolitas, but, boy, was it fun.

2024 Lamborghini Revuelto, its just a run around really. 😉

Montage of Feck

My current car is pushing perilously close to 20, obviously it's a death trap spewing out pollution. Better do the right thing and buy a two and half tonne fake SUV.

A relation left me their car in their Will that they “loved”

I despise it, it’s a plasticy piece of junk, makes me mad every time I have to use it. I’ve taken to cycling at times to avoid being stuck in its hideous beige interior.

I would be disowned if I sold the phcuking thing so thinking an accident, burning it or organise some low life to take it and joy ride it into a river

Padre_Pio

Mazda mx5 at the moment.

A rental.

It's a poor mans sports car, all show and no go.

It's also the most impractical car I've ever driven. If I picked up someone at the airport they'd need to make a choice, either I bring them or their luggage. Not both.

History of all the cars i've owned since I first started driving in 1997:

1. 1983 Nissan Micra 1.0L - an absolute banger but got me on the road and kept it for 7 months.
2. 1988 Nissan Sunny 1.3L - upgrade from the Micra - a UK import and a great reliable car kept it or 1.5 yrs
3. 1993 Ford Escort 1.3L - worst car i've ever owned - gave me nothing but problems. Got rid of it after 2 yrs.
4. 1998 Nissan Almera 1.4L - solid car but boring and bland to drive - had it for 3 years.
5. 2001 Toyota Corolla 1.4L - had the liftback 1.4 petrol model, probably the most reliable car i've ever had. Had it for 4 years.
6. 2007 Toyota Avensis 1.6L - upgraded from the Corolla when kids came along - hard on petrol though. Kept it for 6 years.
7. 2010 Nissan Qashqai 1.5D - needed a bit more space as kids got older - got bored with it after 2 years and sold on.
8. 2010 Audi A4 2.0D TDI - my midlife crisis car - a UK import kept it for 5 years. Nicest car i've ever driven and had all the gadgets.
9. 2016 Toyota Rav4 2.0D (Current) - practical SUV for all our needs - solid and dependable. Have just over 2 years now and very happy with it.

You might have difficulty insuring a 1996 car for the first time (as your main car) if you purchased one now, but you'll have no problem continuing to insure a car you've already had for any number of years.

You could also get classic car insurance on a car of that age easily if it was a second car.

Anesthetize

I've only had two cars to date:

1998 Opel Corsa 1.0L petrol - A very basic car but it was fun to drive. Eventually too many repairs, rust, and NCT failures meant it was time to get rid of it.

2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L diesel (current) - Solid as a rock and has never given me any issues. Given the current price of cars, I'm just going to drive this until the wheels fall off.
