What car do you drive, and why?

Ford Focus.

Good size, nice to drive, relatively cheap to run.

A renault laguna dci estate as it big and comffy and a renault megane coupe with the willaims engine in it cause its nice some time to be able to accelerate and overtake.

I drive a Honda Civic SE 1.6, (04)
Owned from new, traded in my 51 plate Focus Ghia, (also from new)
Didnt want to change the Focus but needed more rear space and the Honda gave me all I needed.
I have to admit that the Honda feels better than the Focus and the engine is superb.

Vauxhall Vectra Diesel Estate

To me appeared to be the best value car taking into account fuel consumption, bike loading ability, insurance and ease of DIY servicing. I have a motorbike for when I want to go fast and couldn't afford a car that would excite as much.

306 HDI estate.

50 something to the gallon.
Loads of kit/ bikes in the back with the seats folded.
I can get my bike in the boot without touching the seats and put the parcel shelf in.
Low insurance group.
Solid diesel engine… Shame about all the other French shite bolted to it.

Worst car I have ever owned for eating my money.

Passat 130 tdi estate.
176k at the mo.
48.8mpg at the mo.
Comfy, reliable, bikes in, sea fishing gear in, holiday in France with bikes AND sea fishing gear in!

My next car WILL be a Passat tdi.

1999 Escort Van 277000 miles ,Gets me to work and fits my bike in the back

1999 Lotus Elise 39000 miles,Makes me smile all day long

Weekdays – Citron c2 VTS – 'cos it’s good round the metropolis that is Bradford and a laugh on the back roads – although good on the motorways as well – it takes the Yeti (just) for an after work ride
Weekend – Passat 2.0 SE – ‘cos it eats miles on the motorway carries the family in comfort – is actually quite fun to drive at least until kids start moaning about been sick – oh and it takes the bikes

A Clio 172, because although I'm 33 a large part of me is still 17 and I like hot hatches. It's noisy, the driving position is crap, mpg is shocking for such a small car, the interior is a bit nasty and although you can just get bikes in the back I had to buy a roof rack to keep the mud out.

On a good day on a track/nice B-road it's bloody good fun though, lots of bang for buck 😀

Mondeo as I do Motorways and Bike transport, cheap and reliable and nobody bugs you (well as much as when I had flashy cars).

Hardly gets used once a week for food shop.

Budget is tight or I'd a buy a Beemer. 8)

My Car is a workhorse but in the good old days I've had my fun toys but they just would be no use now or ppl would try to race you but I enjoy the image etc.

Borrowed my Dad's Beemer and all the women were looking. They never look or look away when I drive my old Mondy or my bike!

Chicks dig the car right? (Batman was right!)

BMW 330Ci M Sport Coupe E46. Had it because I've always thought it was the best looking 3 Series they've made and I couldn't afford an M3 or the insurance for it. Still has 270bhp so it's reasonably quick too 😀

A Fiat Panda.
Because I have an enormous willy 🙂

Yaris

A. 'cause I got it off my mum and
B. I have no need to change it and
C. <insert schlong gag>

Nissan Almera 1.4 gx twincam 16valve in 'flash' red

Its quite a nippy car and is really good fun in the corners. I often go for a quick blast out on the country lanes on a Sunday morning, really clears the senses so to speak. I often push to the speed limit on some roads and friends and colleagues refer to me as a 'dashing young man'

A6 2.7 avant Quattro sport

Fast

Comfortable

Fit loads in it

……………..and Monty likes it

nissan navara, renault trafic, audi a3

Had some fancy cars over the years, but then I got back in to cycling and my 4 wheel transport is now a TDI Golf

Vectra diseasel daily.
Mk2 Golf GTI to remind me what driving a car is like.

Mazda RX8 because I wanted one last coupe but also child friendly for any possible family growths in the next couple years. And they're dirt cheap if you don't do many miles. Fun too 🙂

Vauxhall Zafira, 'cos i can get 3 bikes, the family and a weeks worth of luggage in it

1998 Saab 9-5 2.3 turbo saloon

Big, comfortable, big boot (even bigger with the seats down), and still bloody fast and I can't afford a new one.

M reg Micra that was my wifes but we swapped my car for semi-automatic things in case she dislocated her knee again (a Smart fortwo, then a Eco drive Corsa).
The Micra is great fun to drive pretty cheap to run and is basically a small van with the back seats permenantly down.
Oh, and Sven, the C reg LT25 based campervan. Best vehicle I have yet had.

Citroen Picasso 2.0 diesel why !!!!!!

It makes a usefull van
We do 400 mile trips in comfort loaded to the gunnals
it normally does about 52mpg
and it suits my image 👿

citroen c5 because its massive and costs feckall to run and is great for bike gear and family duties

Honda HRV cheap, big enough for four + dog and reliable.

Octavia Laurin Klement Estate 2.0TDI

Because I need room for bikes and kids, but want all the toys like leather, cruise control etc and am miserly enough to want 60mpg but also want a bit of power when needed. I did consider a VRS but opted not to look like a cock.

Toyota Corrola Verso diesel.

its a Toyota, so hopefully it will be reliable, good MPG, good for fitting bikes in and ours has got the built in DVD player which helps keep the kids occupied on longer trips!

pug 306 hdi estate,
why? my old man gave it to me to replace my clapped out mondeo, more than halfed the fuel bill overnight, and has so far been 100% reliable.

Fiat scudo 2.0 JTD, great for the bikes. Wife has a focus estate again great for the bikes. Going to sell the Scudo and buy something great for the bikes, don't know what yet!

VW Golf Gt Tdi for 7 years here, only 70,000 miles so hopefully for another 7 years.

Oh and a Mercedes 313cdi MWB campervan for popping away in!

2007 vauxhall vectra 1.9cdti 150 xp

1. it looks good
2. it goes like stink :0
3. i can get my bike in 🙂
i love it

Civic type R EP3 ('older model')

Cos I iz yoof innit…

DrP

A honda Accord because:

I'm old.
It's really economical.
It's insanely comfy.
It's got more torque than the flying scotsman.
It's really big and compensates for my tiny willy.

VW T5 Mulitivan because it fits three children, two dogs and five bikes comfortably.

A 1996 Mazda 323F.
Always wanted one, and now had her for 10 years and 170k miles.
Also happens to be the ideal tandem transporter, as the roof is pretty low!

306 HDi Estate as a daily driver because it gets 50+ mpg, costs next to nothing to insure and tax, parts are cheap as chips and it just keeps going happily.

'91 Celica GT4 thats very non-standard. Because it makes me smile regardless of what anyone else thinks of it. Gets used very little because it costs about 4x as much to run as the 306 but gives 10x the fun.

"safe" cars? yer never safe.

It makes me think of that RS4 that crashed near dundee a few weeks ago. the one that let a lamp post tear through most of the drivers side from front to back.

a euro ncap 50 star rating yesterday lol.. http://www.russiantruck.co.uk/sale/maz%20032.jpg

now THATS safe.

406 estate 1.9td, why?
– cheap to buy
– cheap to run
– rather spacious inside
– froggy diesel
– froggy suspension
– can't afford 911 gt3

Mongdeo 130bhp TDCi Estate
Loadsa room
Cheapish to run and service
Loadsa room
Pulls the caravan…………….at 60mph…………..in 6th gear.
Isn't a BMW 😉
Blends in and doesn't incite envy 'keying'
Loadsa room.

Vauxhall Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition.
