What car would you like back

passatman86 · 21-01-2022 7:27pm #1

No doubt a thread like this has been done before - but with the site change months ago nothing is found easily. And maybe members who never posted an answer could do so now

What car that you previously owned would you like back - or better again did you buy/swap it back "shout out to pigeons Peugeot" lol

Bonus points if you have a pic of said car. Heres my choice - levin bzr

95 Mitsubishi FTO GPX manual

Unfortunately it got stolen and written off days after I sold it, got in a Garda chase and ended up being wrecked on a luas track.

Well thats a crazy story.

I was in the back of a fto on a short journey before - like the levin not the most comfortable lol

My diablo red Pug 106 GTi. It was a great little car, plenty of go and handled brilliantly. Unfortunately finding a good one these days would be next to impossible as most were thrashed.

Quality Dc5

Nothing fancy. Just our 07 Toyota avensis. Should have just got the seals replaced all around the windows and kept it. A simple car that gave absolutely no trouble. Only 100,000km on clock when we traded it for a Hyundai Kona before returning to a another Toyota, a CHR.

Well how cool to hear someone suggest an Avensis. Im a daily driver of an Avensis the last six years - i hope to keep it in the garden even when its replaced with something newer

Going back donkeys years an old neighbour of mine in his 50's had that exact car you described.. He said it handled like a go-cart

whippet · 21-01-2022 11:07pm

My 07 MKV GTI .. I really loved that car .. and I had it in the glorious period between getting married and having kids ... so it went with all the freedom that you kids don't give you!!

and strangely enough ... I really miss my Skoda Superb Combi from 2011 which I put 450,000km on the clock ... it was a work horse - never missed a beat - slow a could be but super comfy and just an all round joy to own !!

fryup · 22-01-2022 12:36am

the mitsubishi colt - just for the name alone

what the hell were mitsubishi thinking of dropping an established car like that? the one that replaced it stinks

NickNickleby · 22-01-2022 12:53am

In the mid 70's I had a Cortina Mk3 1.3L. It was a great car, very reliable. It drove beautifully and I once got 100mph out of it (down a very long hill ). It was red, and I added the mandatory go-faster stripes on the sides. But I REALLY wanted a 2.0 GT version in yellow with the black vinyl roof. Couldn't afford one, they weren't cheap and the insurance for a 22 year old was eye-watering enough on the 1.3.

Anyway, had a look at a very clean one for sale on t'Internet, and I still think its a great looker.

My '91 Sunny LX. Never in all of human endeavour has a more honest, reliable, simple, durable companion of a car been produced.

I had it probably 2 years and apart from the most basic of annual services, it never needed a thing. Unbelievably well built for its time as well.

My Jap import CRX delsol SiR complete with transtop roof! Super rare...and now, sadly unobtainable for me.

Well, the sunny in that picture brings me back. My Dad had one "think it was a 92" identical to the picture you linked.. I will forever remember that car for summer holidays in the mobile home park in Wexford. Good times
