anewme · 06-02-2010 10:01AM

I change my cars like the weather;

1995 86 Nissan Micra - it was an import, half black & silver (remember them - had a sunroof that leaked and was damp inside.....loved it
1996 1990 Ford Fiesta 1.2 - it was a horrible "busman blue" and the steering was as heavey, you would have arms like a weightlifter after
it - horrible car - my least favourite
1997 96 D Seat Ibiza 1.4 sport - white, lovely seats, so comfy (probably
after the dreadful fiesta) loved it and I still see it driving
around - a little old man is in it now, and it is still going strong
1999 1.1L Peugeot 206 China Blue - they were only new out and it
was a real headturner.
2002 2002 Seat Ibiza 1.2 Black - did not like it - not as good as 96 one
2004 2004 Peugeot 307 1.4 Aluminium (silver grey) heavey on juice and
it was ok
2008 2007 Toyota Yaris 1.lLtr - Black Great little runaround
But lack of power driving me mad
2009 2009 VW Scirocco 1.4(122) tsi Red - nice but wanted a diesel as
I moved further out
2009 2009 Audi A3 2.0 140bhp tdi (S Line Exterior) Brilliant Red - love
everything about this car. Bar nothing.

1975 renault 4 - 850cc engine was extremely economical. very slow, rusted to sh1t. Very soft and comfortable, nice stowage space for the era with folding seat. I spun this car on a little boreen with 7 lads in it, totally accidentally. Ended driving in reverse at a whopping 20mph. I developed some car control since then....

1980 Peugeot 104ZS - early hot hatch, phenomenal neck jerking throttle response, great acceleration, power sliding fun. super fun to drive, but would swop ends like a go cart if you weren't on the ball. The gearbox sharing the engine oil was a bad idea, the twin choke carb bolted onto the head was a good one. Had a custom reg too :-)
(modern reg's are boring)

1991 Audi 80 1.8s. Solid old car, but cost me a lot of money. A bit down on power.

2003 VW passat 1.8t. A big step up from the Audi. Comfy and quiet for a reasonable price, but likes regular feeds from the wallet too.

200motels · 06-02-2010 11:20PM

97 Ford Fiesta fairly good car

00 Ford Focus, a nightmare of a car, the ignition coil went, the water pump went, the fuel pump went, good to drive when working.

03 Ford Mondeo, another nightmare, ignition coil went, the A/C went, the water pump went, and the gear box went, so I finally had enough of Fords.

05 Honda Civic, not a bother with this, trouble free motoring, not as good to drive as a Ford, but at least it will start.
