What cars have you had and what has been your favourite

My new VW electric
It's a dream !

Without a doubt my very favourite car was my pale green MGF. I hung onto it for 12 years. It started to cost more than it was worth in repair bills, but I still shed a silent tear when I finally let it go

I have a yearning for a TVR before I hang up my car keys for good but fear I’d struggle to get in/out ?

First 2 inherited from aged relatives
Triumph Spitfire was my favourite as it was my first car purchase. I had to relinquish it as not suitable for transporting a newborn ?

I am quite a recent driver so no big long list of cars to my name. I did love the Ford C-Max we got just after I passed my test, but it has been overtaken by the current car, a Toyota Yaris. A bit boring to look at, but lovely to drive and an automatic to boot.

Husband had TR3A before he met me and has never recovered from selling it!!!
I loved my early cars and did lots of maintenance on them. Such fun.

I loved the Volvo estate we had in the 90's, it was an automatic and I used it to tow a horse trailer and for zipping up and down the M5 to our cottage on Exmoor. I just associate it with such happy times. I also liked the Audi A3 Sportback I had as a company car, it was nippy and great fun to drive. I was sorry when I retired and had to hand it back. I'd have bought it but OH found it difficult to get in and out as he has such long legs.

Dodgem ?

Hasn`t anyone else had a Chrysler 2 litre? We had ours from 1978 until about 1982, I thought it was a most beautiful car, my favourite out of all the cars we`ve had. No more cars now since hubby died, I`ve never learned to drive.

I must add that the Beetle was my favourite car of all time and wish I could have kept it for ever!

Now I've had a white Mégane coupe for over 10 years since I've been in my own, no husband wanting to change it all the time. Its 13 years old with 27,500 miles on it so why would I change. It has a full body kit and still looks great.

My favourite was my red and gold Nissan Sunny estate car with automatic gearbox. My worst was bought by my ex husband and was a Racing green Triumph Dolomite. It was heavy and the gearbox was dreadful. It was also rubbish in slippery conditions.

My first car (21st birthday present) was a Hillman Minx, then --- Three minis (original design)
- 2 Vauxhall Astras
- Vauxhall Carlton
And since about 1998, just Audis.
Three A4s
One A6 avant (estate)
One A5 which we've had for 5+ years and my favourite, will be replaced by another A5. Tend to keep cars for 4-6 years.

My first was a Ford Fiesta.
Nissan Almera, i called her Vera.
Peugeot 406.
Ford Fiesta again.
Vauxhall Astra,Automatic.
Ford Kuga,Automatic and my favourite up to date.
And my next one will also be a Kuga.

My favourite was my Ford Capri GT. Got it new at about £1200. It was white with a red stripe down the side, we called it the jam sandwich.

I learned to drive in boyfriend’s Triumph Herald convertible, great car with an amazing turning circle. It was difficult to learn to do a three point turn. Then a series of old bangers, mostly decaying minis. Finally bought a new Fiat Punto which I loved. We now have a VW T-roc, which we are replacing shortly, have never liked it and will be glad to see it go.

My very first car was a brand new Mini Mayfair, bought for me by my husband. Wrote it off when a horse fly stung me on the way to work one summer morning.
Next came a second hand Honda Civic which I had for several years, then replaced by a new Honda CRV. Had that for a few years until that too was written off by a scaffold lorry reversing into the side of it on a car park.
Next came a nearly new Renault Meghane which served me well for thirteen years before everything electrical started to go wrong. Cost me a fortune before I saw the light and sent her to the scrapyard where they hopefully removed all the new parts I’d had replaced at great expense.
I now have a second hand Hyundai i10. Small enough to put in my pocket ? very basic but hopefully reliable.
I can’t say I had a favourite. In fact my favourite car belongs to my daughter and I’d buy one if I won the lottery, it’s a Mini Countryman and is very chunky, much bigger than my own first mini.

I’ve got a Toyota RAV4 and this is the second one I’ve had. My first I had for 10 years and even though it was 5 years old when I got it, it never went wrong and started first time every time in all weathers, I absolutely loved that car. I only gave it up because I got another RAV4 exactly the same but a couple of years newer and this one I’ve had over 15 years. We’ve been all over England with it and touch wood it never lets us down. The only problem I’m finding now is obviously it’s started to look a bit shabby but we have had all the wheels re sprayed but also I’ve got new finger joints in my right hand and I’m right handed and the back door is too heavy for me to open now as it has the spare wheel attached. I love my little old car and one day will be sad again when I have to change it up. I just hope I can find something as reliable as my Ravs.

I now drive an Aygo - great little car, but I wish I could afford another Mini! ?

That should have read Citroen "Xara"!

I loved my Citroen Zara Picasso, enjoyed driving my Ford Kuga and really enjoy the Honda Jazz we have as a second car. My favourite though, was a Hyundai Trajet which was the most comfortable car to drive. The seats were luxurious, there was enough space for our 6 kids, the automatic gear box was smooth and there was great view from the driver's seat. It was a bit like driving from your armchair but, oh so thirsty so it had to go. I was gutted.

I love the old Mini and the new Mini, but not the bigger versions, e.g. Paceman, Countryman. The original design is still the best. That’s why they’re always used in films and as competition prizes.

Loving this thread! My husband is a classic car nut so too many too list, I lost count after 100. But my personal favourites were a 2.8 Navy/silver grandad mrk 2 ghia (we got married in it 20years ago) a 2.8 white sierra 4×4 estate that was very quick. And a lovely little green Austin a30 that I've just sold (but I have a feeling it'll be back one day)

11:37Humbertbear I loved the PT cruisers, they looked like gangster cars. There is a really strong following for them in the classic car shows. There are some beauties ?
