As we're judging vulgar and classy cars - in real life what sub-zero whips are the STW massive cruising around in? 🙂
Here's my 'making progress' machine (and vulgar to many) - and really needs a wash!...

...will it be a thread full of Octavia estates, T5s and Berlingos?
Yeti Outdoor for the wife.
Trafic campervan for me.
Nothing fancy.
Toyota Yaris. Before that I had a Honda Jazz.
65 plate 1.5 diesel Mondeo that does a squillion mpg and carries bikes.
VW Tiguan and VW T6
They're nice and I like them.
Was on holidays with a guy who kept slagging off the t6 as a scene vehicle, it went on for days until I reminded him I was driving him home.

Rebuilt it from a box of bits around ten years ago. Going to bolt in a better turbo in a couple of weeks and possibly get around to finish setting up the wasted spark ignition.
I don't care if you judge me. I'm just out here taking in the scenery
14 Plate Hyundai i40 Estate....
3 series touring (e91). Cheap tax, good on fuel.
I think a change will be coming soon though, maybe a Mazda6 next.
Not wholly dissimilar to the OP (stock photo, not mine).
69-plate Honda Civic Sport. 1.5 petrol, 180 of your horses.
One I bought
One I built
One I hid behind a mask while driving even before Covid
12yo Mondeo and 11yo C8, the Mondeo is making a horrible noise that I'm either going to fix or will be it's demise. As much as I like interesting cars the practicalities mean that I have to settle for white goods.
2021 Toyota corolla 2.0 sports touring. Hybrid with some decent toys, full sunroof and tow bar
It did mean going down to 1 car for both me and wife (passatt r behind it went) but its really nice. Fast enough (190ish bhp) spacious enough and kids love the moonroof. Stereo is crap though...
One exactly like this. Not the useless PHEV one.
X3 2.0d M-Sport. It's a fantastic car and not much more on the lease than a Japanese box due to residual value. Well it would be if some scum hadn't managed to get into it and relieve it of the i-drive and screen, it's now waiting a month for the parts (seems like it's not just the bike industry) so I'm in a Citreon D3 courtesy car at the moment.
10 plate Mondeo 2.0 diesel hatch. Grey to match my hair/beard
It's a big old comfy barge, quite economical, swallows bikes whole, great on long journeys and reliable.
61 plate VW T5 in silver with stock Sportline body kit and 17 inch Highline wheels. None of that VW scene nonsense like huge wheels, tasteless decals, chrome trim on everything or orange highlights. It's not even lowered. Just a useable, fairly stock looking bike carrying wagon.
Our own car - a 14 year old Mazda 3, owned since new. Still going strong.
The work car - a Mercedes GLC SUV bought because it was on a silly cheap deal in the middle of the first lock-down (which coincided with my business lease deal ending).
Old shape XC90 D5 in black
New shape XC90 T8R in grey
Third car posted elsewhere on this site recently 😎
Jamesoz in the lead at the first corner
12 plate mk9 Civic. Boringly dependable but I quite like that and it swallows my bike wheels on.
07 Octavia vrs estate.
Seat Leon estate 1.6 diesel. Thrilling it ain't but cheap to run it certainly is. Though lacking ooompth it drives pretty well.
Mrs signed on the dotted line for an M40i Z4 this week. Bring on summer! 😎
The humble Micra, like this but with many more scratches and knocks. When it's not on the drive it spends it life in train station car parks and parked on streets. There's no way I'd want anything nice for that.
This is Flashy's 3rd car - he sometime lets his mates borrow it
😂
20 reg BMW i3s electric for me on a cheap lease from work.
68 reg Land Rover Discovery Sport for my wife. She loves it and it's very comfortable.
Perfect two cars for us pre-Corona, not so much now as they are more than we need.
not actual photos of my cars, but same colour/model etc
Plus a diesel ford kuga for carrying bikes
Do cars get better looking than this square jawed housebrick?
1990 Mk2 Golf. 'Entry-level classic' that can still do the daily duties, cruise on the motorway and haul kids and bikes.
All that as well as being one of the greats when it comes to everyday car design IMHO. The late 80's were a great era for well engineered German cars.
LWB Transit as my only vehicle.
Once you've ad a van you'll never go back to a car (would love an Elise as second vehicle but can't afford to run two, and if I can only have one it has to be a van!)

The old Swedish Brick is likely to be traded in for something smaller soon, and a MkII Golf is high on the list. First car was a MkII. Love them.
Oh I miss my FN2 Type R. Just couldn't keep it at the time though but wish I had. Great cars. Just a mk7 Golf Estate now so very plain and boring but a great load lugger/dog and child wagon :).
My girlfriend has a 'Black edition' TT on pcp....it was mildly entertaining for the got first month that she had it. It's hateful to spend any time in though, and in the last 12 months has done 1500 miles whilst still costing a frankly ridiculous amount on pcp.
I've got a 59 plate Qashqai with 170k miles on. The wing mirrors and sunroof are still in decent nick.....that is about it, the rest is ready for scrap! We're hoping to get rid of both and get an i3 in the next few months.
We do have a new Rollerteam T590 too....
OP has me bang to rights. I drive this yet still maintain that any and all SUVs are vile.

Had it 7 years, taken an absolute beating and seen off 4 other second cars in it's time without missing a beat. Doubt you could say that about an Evoque.
Mine after a quick wash.
Focus ST3. I love it its a great car. Fast, fun and super comfy seats.
I need something bigger though so it will probably go soon for a sensible estate car like a Leon Cupra
I've always fancied a Smart Roadster cynic-al - are they as much fun as they look?
'05-plate Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quattro Sportback and an '09-plate VW Tiguan TDi 4Motion.
I had two of the bread van era Civic Type S, and now with three children have had to go even more practical:
However, although it's a family bus, it doesn't hang about when you decide to "make progress" and it may four wheel drift rather nicely but I couldn't possibly comment... Still recalibrating my brain from revvy petrol to turbodiesel. Briefly had a petrol version of the same but the engine totally failed.
Part of me thinks a Lotus Carlton would have been a better family car but I have to admit that the magic folding seats and van-like inside are rather useful. And it's quite economical for something big and not slow.
T6 family lugger, with all the gaudy additions you'd expect; lowered, 20" wheels, spoiler etc. It's great. And, a 56 plate Fabia VRS, which frankly is coming to the end of it's days I fear. Not really been looked after by the better half and again hardly moved for a year.
2008 Ford SMax - Bloody great car 155k but goes like a train. Will probably swap for a van in the next 6 months....
2017 Seat Ibiza - might swap this for an electric car at somepoint....
Yay I have Octavia Estate...it's a VRS, does that get me extra points?
