my rx8
Love it, costs a fortune to run but it makes me smile and feel like a racing driver when i drive it. (then though its slow) its just really nice to throw about.
golf.
i dont care about it. It feels secure and safe. and heated seats if youve got a wet bum are amazing!
It's launch control will do 0-62 in 4.7 - it's very very fun

Have you ever awoken suddenly in the middle of the night with a wild panic fever and screamed ROTOR TIPS into the darkness?

5 cylinders, 4X4, 400PS and a roof rack. What more does one need?

Best thing is running over lefties.
Sure it's not reversing back to make sure you got the job done?
I bought a ten year old S4 estate that the previous owner had taken to MRC tuning (stage 2+). A long time ago I owned a TVR Griffith 500 that was scarily fast and very scary to drive due to the lack of safety features.
The S4 is considerably faster yet with the 4wd it's a way less scary proposition. It's also very spacious and the bikes fit on the roof. So I have a practical, 5dr family runaround that just happens to go like a rocket.
Car is appreciating slowly, which is good because i barely do 1,000 miles per year in it and if it was costing money and was sat not doing anything it'd be bad. But i cant bear to part with it. 8k rev limit, plenty of power without being silly and RWD brings plenty of smiles when i do drive it. And realistically it feels as if its as good a car as i'll ever have.
Van- it's still going but it does camping, load lugging and it'll be sad when it does go...

Yup, saloon though so not full chav 🙂
wasn't expensive, got really nice heated seats (half leather and alcantara) because it's the TitaniumX version. I like the auto box more than I thought I would and there's loads of room cos it's an estate, and lots of legroom in the back so I don't mind going in the back if needs be. only downside is the 2.3L petrol makes for expensive tax but I'll live with it.

I'm told going for a saloon S3/RS3 or Estate Golf R does halve your chances of being T-PAC'd on the way to work because some scrote has cloned your plates ha ha.

Did you get that oil change done yet? You're not going to be too keen on that auto box if it goes tits up.
2002 Honda Civic Type-R JDM (EP3).
The near 9k rpm redline. The diff when it hooks up and drags you out of a bend. The recaro interior. The fact its a proper hot hatch (although the 212hp isn't that hot by todays standard). the fact it doesn't weigh 2 tonnes. The smile it puts on my face everyday. The number of more expensive things i can make it overtake on a track day. Its practicality & low-ish running costs.
jees that Florian bloke in the Merc add is full German robot...
Anyway, love me 5 series touring it's got all the gizmo's on it which makes long drives nice. It will also do close to a real 50mpg as well. Only downside, is that it's now 8 years old, 140K miles in and it has the useless projector lamps (candles are better)..
Drove a brand new one the other day - absolutley no difference at all, so happy that it still feels curent (especially as i can't afford another one now)..
I can get behind this thread (MK2 Golf):
It's over 30 years old, has done nearly 200,000 miles but I still trust it enough to jump in it if I had to do a 500mile drive tomorrow. It still turns a few heads but I don't feel precious about it.

NICE...... I used to have a 54 plate EP3 (UK market..). I always wanted the JDM version!
I still reckon the EP3 was the nicest Type-R... just looked 'cool'.
I'd love one for a track/fun car again. The 6 speed box was so quick to shift with wasn't it!
DrP
@DrP yup, its a real peach. Its raw enough to be exciting, but not tiring on daily duties and down a B road, wind her up and enjoy!
The added extra's of the JDM model sold it to me, LSD, bit more poke, recaro's and the all import championship white paint.
I keep thinking of selling it for something more modern (i30N, Golf R, etc), but I keep going back to how much fun it is to drive.
'Pilot Assist' adaptive cruise / lane keeping thingy keeps me rolling* even when I'm having a kip in the back.
*does not work** on twisty single track roads.
**don't ask how I found out.
What’s GOOD about your current car!
It's a Toyota.
