What's the best car you've ever owned? And why?

I have a soft spot for my 1982 Audi Coupe GT. Essentially an expensive version of the VW Scirocco, but I loved it—black with chocolate brown interior. I'd love to find another one.

My best all-around everyday car was my Windsor Blue '97 GTI VR6. Modded the hell out of it, and was fast as snot with the speed governor eliminated. Could haul a 32" TV around and move to a new house, and track day the next weekend. Did 135 mph for a stint out on a road trip once, then on the way back, went through a blizzard of white-out proportions. Handled both with equal comfort. Got great mileage and could run 14s at the dragstrip in stock form.

Stellar car. Wish they still made them like that here in the US.

hmmmmmm....robin reliant i suppose
just because it makes everyone smile. apart from the driver when a bit falls off

and if you mean REAl CARS WITH 4 WHEELS
peugeout 205 diesel 65mpg on veg oil
oh yeah

Lexus Soarer GT Limited 4Ltr V8.

It had a lot of development items on it that still havent been released in newer models. It was a 92 model with a TV in the dash which had roughly a menue that youd find on a mobile phone and the screen was also a phone. Heated seats, memory seats and steer wheel. It had four types of gearbox options, one for speed, one for accelaration, one for torque and one for cruising.

I also liked it when i was overtaking on the A12 at 80 when a 911 flashed me to pull over and the kick down accelaration was rather good to the point that i was hitting 175 and the 911 was nowhere to be seen.

Honda accord type r was definately the best handling car I have ever driven - did my brother in his vx220 coming into a roundabout !

for the most fun its gotta be my first mk2 gti golf and my good was it rotten. but it took so much abuse and just kept smiling. shame they dont make cars like that no more, didnt see it coming but am now setled down to a mit galant sport 2.5v6 and a mazda 6 ts2

Wanted one since I was about 8, and had it since 2004... don't think I need to say why this is the best car I've ever owned :)

I had a mk2 golf with a 220bhp TT engine which was pretty cool, but being a conversion had it's little niggling problems.

The engine install was a bit messy when I got it back from the company that did it so I learned more about mechanics and pulled it all out to tidy up


the mk4 tdi golf I have at the moment hasn't missed a beat in the 60k I have owned it. just driven 3000 miles to spain and back on holiday hehe




Not much done to it. coilies, 18" RS4's, anniversary head lights that's all :) It has old man grey interior though :(

My mini.. first car i got at 14. Bought it as a cat D write off but me and dad ended up putting a whole front end on it apart from bonnet. Side sills, rear panel.. was really smart!
Put it on 10" wheels, flyoff handbrake oh and a pool ball for a gear knob :blush:
Im sure nearly everyone will of had a mini at somepoint, so much fun!

This one because it's been rock solid (and pretty quick), note the auto isn't really slipping but we have strict laws here :)

Has to be my current car, BMW mini cooper 2nd gen

Absolutely love it to bits, can out corner anything out there, very nippy, good mpg if I want it to, and looks great!

This , longest ive ever owned a car , fantastically quick and handles so much better than anything else ive driven , oh apart from my brother in laws Elise.

Mine was my 3rd Austin Mini. An 850 originally, I had a hand built engine from Wood and Picket shoehorned in. With a Skimmed alloy and ported head, and lots of other mods with twin Weber 45's. 110bhp at the wheels with a dog box full of straight cut gears. It cornered like a knat on acid!!

With a 9000rpm redline it was an absolute screamer, until the day I dropped it into third and gunned it. With my 'boy racer' stereo on full hum I didn't realise that I was already doing 90mph! As the engine let go, the head came off with such force that it creased the bonnet. My 'world', along with my engine, came apart that fatefull day; I was gutted!!

Good God, suddenly I feel bloody old! LOL!!!

Sierra XR4x4. Fast, tons of grip, enough power, quiet, comfortable, and did I say fast? It could cover ground like almost nothing else I had before or since, because it was so secure and stable. 120k miles in four years...

mine was my MERC C180 SPORT:wub...........its now in car heaven:cry:

has to be my current one !! :thumbsup:
its a beast :woot:

had a varied bunch over the years but the best has to be my Audi S8
it just does everything so well, takes everything in its stride :thumbsup:

snow? what snow??
a pic from January this year when everyone else had to stay home :p

Mine was an F reg Subaru Justy Van, me and that car went everywhere together, racing to, but the best bit was in the snow, flick on the 4wd, rear axle would come in, and it was fitted with an LSD, so was ace for 'fun'!!

Best car
 

Showing my age here but my best ever car was a Renault 12 tl, ok the looks weren't great but the ride was the so comfortable and it was very economical too...I liked them that much I've had 4 of them in the past, probably wouldn't find one now cos of their age.

I love Mini's, but they're crap really :blush:

My favourite car must by the Focus ST170 until it started giving me faults. If it wasn't for faults, and the tax going through the roof, id still have it. They're cheap now too, but finding a good one is like finding hen's teeth.

I love my current BMW Mini, if it was a little quicker it'd be better than the Focus.... its a 2002 Cooper.

Probably my current Octavia VRS it just does everything so well.. However my Vaux Nova V6 was a lot of fun :p..I do miss that car

This is a tough one, especially as i don't really know which i consider best, all were mad / fun / nice in their own ways but i suppose....

1998 M3 Evo was probably the best all rounder, it only had 36k miles and was absolutely immaculate, not one mark / ding or scratch!

2nd was probably the Evo VI GSR

http://i48.tinypic.com/5ecrh3.jpg

Then it's a choice of any of the more modded / fun cars i had....

Pulsar GTI-R, 280bhp, 4-Pot Godspeed brakes, endless list....

Renault 5 was fun, constantly went wrong and cost a fortune but with over 200bhp it would embarrass just about everything i ever tried against (i was 19 at the time so i'm allowed to say i went around racing people)

Dimma Clio was quite cool, i always wanted one as a teenager so enjoyed owning it before the Pulsar

i've just bought an evo x fq330 sst, i pick it up on saturday:thumbsup: i'll let you know how it goes.....

Through petrol id imagine .....nice toy though.

mpg was low on the list when i ordered it.

I'am torn between two for different reasons, 1st the m3 evo gt2....1 of 50 made with 54k on the clock...2nd my sierra rs cosworth 4x4....also 54k on the clock,I'll yet you decide amongst yourselves which is best :lol:

M3 GT by miles in my opinion, i've never liked the Saph personally.... Love the M3 though.

:thumbsup:Cossie all the way. Been there done that, loved em all!!!

54k each Steve? do you use em at all ? :p

m3 everyday during summer months, cosworth not much at all;)

bmw mini chris have you become a hairdresser sinse you left je?

Just for handling....the thrill and generally the people who stare at you (got to love that) it has to be my old exige....

but now im also very happy with my elise!

Its MINT and is my new baby! :wub More 'Chilled' than the exige!:thumbsup:

The noise and sideways action from the 350z was always nice too though :thumbsup:

yeh the 350 was amazingly controllable in a slide! and real nice cabin(excluding plastic quality), just suffered from being a little slow!! and mostly being bought by old people...........

No, I arrange Export of chemicals.

Mines my Golf :D Then again it is only my 2nd car I've owned!
