What cars have you had and what has been your favourite

Morris Minor
Simca “Mille”
Citroen Visa
VW Passat
VW Polo
Another VW Polo (D1 wrote off the first within a fortnight)
The second was written off by D3 when somebody ran into the back of her
Yet another VW Polo - my turn to be driving when that was written off by somebody driving straight across in front of me on a dual carriageway
Skoda Fabia
Skoda Roomster
Another Skoda Roomster - due for renewal but I like it too much - roomy interior but only the external dimensions of a Golf.
( Paw had a succession of Vauxhall Cavaliers before one of the first Skoda Octavias)

My Jaguar F pace but sadly my hips started protesting at getting in and out of it so it had to go. I now have a Lexus. Every Christmas I ask Santa for an Aston Martin but he hasn’t replied yet.

Mainly Golfs for me.

I had a VR6 which was a pocket rocket. I remember sitting on the kitchen floor on the phone (land line) crying to my brother because it had just become too expensive to repair.

Reliant Regal (all aluminium body)
Morris Minor (split screen)
Rover 90
Rover 100
Rover 85
Land Rover Series 3
Hillman Hunter
Renault TX3
Peugeot Estate (2 of these)
Saab 99 (2, v expensive on repairs!)
Volvo 240 Estate
Volvo V70 Estate Mk 1 (2 of these)
Volvo V70 Estate Mk 2 (current car)

The current Volvo is low mileage and petrol. I'm very reluctant to go electric as we have no parking for a charging point and electric cars are very expensive. I've never bought a new car and the present Volvo cost me £7,000 four years ago.

My favourite car was a berry coloured Peugeot 108 which I bought a couple of years ago from new. When I bought a touring caravan I had to trade it in for a 4 x 4. I sold the caravan and car to my son not long after and he is paying me back monthly. In the meantime all I could afford was a bronze Vauxhall Corsa 04 reg, but at 69 it should do me for the rest of my driving life as it had one previous owner and low mileage.

We had an Alpha Romeo Spider soft top at one time . My main memory of it was driving back from my parents in Northumberland on the A1 with eldest son. "Do a ton,Mum" he said. So I did and the soft top collapsed in (suction).
Otherwise mostly Fords. I needed a car for work and the LA gave a good loan scheme for buying a car. But only something very plain and functional.

First was a Ford Anglia followed by just about every other Ford.
Then we had several different Vauxhalls.
Two or three Volvos, last one was rubbish.
Last four have been Mercedes GLS and we have had the present one for six years. I don't think you can beat Mercedes for reliability and their after sale service is second to none.

Marmight forgot about the Lancia - mine was the HPE - I loved it, at the time.

Forgot to add DH had 9 Saab Turbos - company cars, but terrific performance.

My lottery win would get me an Aston Martin - Fat Chance, as I don’t do any lottery.

Milliedog. I drove Suzuki for 15 years. First was a soft top Vitara. Then I had 2 Jimmys. Very reliable cars.

My first car was an old red Beetle when I was 24. Just passed my test.
Next a MGB roadster. White, chrome bumpers and wire wheels. Had to sell it as I had two children then and they grew too big for the car. Heart wrenching decision. Loved ? it.
Lots of family cars as children grew up.
Then I got into Suzuki for a while.
I retired and along came the love ? of my life. BMW Z3.
Sold that as I was moving to Cornwall and needed a practical car. Back to Suzuki.
This year I bought my first automatic. Audi Q5. Wow! A superb car but I wish I’d still got that Beamer. ?

Sorry to be late to the party again but I would just like to give a shout out for my red2CVfrom the mid '80s and my pale blue Tigra in the early 20's. Sharing a Quashquai with DH now...no more adventuring.

I've had 23 cars since the late 80s, Ford, Nissan, Citroën, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Kia, Skoda, I've loved most of them but my favourites are my 2015 Peugeot 3008 and my current Toyota C-HR

Humbertbear I couldn’t agree more, I had my PT Cruiser for 13 years from new and would definitely have bought another one if they were still available in the UK. Replaced with a Skoda Yeti which suits me perfectly but my heart belonged to my beautiful, retro ‘Tom Cruise(r)’ ?

DH had a very fast 2 litre, I think, Vauxhall Viva GT when I met him. He loved that car!

Then we acquired a German Shepherd Dog, so needed something bigger, so got a Volvo Estate, which eventually came with us to Cyprus for 3 years.

Then a Ford Escort Estate.

A Mitsubishi when we lived in Australia, followed by another Escort Estate on our return.

And finally DH got his dream car, a Jaguar X Type, which we had till DH died.

No car now, gave up driving.

I passed my test in a Morris Minor in Malaysia, we've had various cars
Austin
VW Beetle x 3
Vauxhall Chevette
Ford Contina
VW Polo x 2
Mazda 2 & 3
Renault Clio x 2
Skoda
Fiat Panda
Hyundai ix20 auto, we love this car, hopefully it will see us out

Milliedog. I had the Vitara quite a long time ago. Not sure about the more up to date version. I preferred the Honda CRV so would probably go for that again given the choice.

@Marmight
I'm thinking of getting a Suzuki Vitara. What are your thoughts?
My favourite car was my old Honda CRV. I had to replace it after many years because my old dog could no longer get into the back unaided...The new Hondas aren't as lovely looking, otherwise I'd get another!

My first car was a grey mini it cost £140 I called it squirrel
Then A Beetle, golf, metro, but my favourite was an Audi TT but had to sell it because my bad knee would let me get in !

My first car was an ancient Mini Traveller, bought for £50 from a friend of boyfriend (now DH!). Then a Morris Marina (rubbish!) then got to drive the boyfriend's brand new Renault 5. After we got married we had a succession of Hondas and Mitsubishis of various sizes as the family grew! Now we have a VW Golf and an Audi Q5 which I love!

I forgot our Austin A60 - so comfortable.

Out of all the cars we've owned my favourites are
A Renault 5 - a joy to drive
A classic Austin A30 - small but built like a tank. I really loved that car.
A Mazda hatchback, now 12 years old - the most reliable car we've ever had (touch wood).

There have been lots of others but those three stand out from the rest. Really wish I could have the A30 back

My favourite was my sporty little red mini that I bought at the start of the pandemic. She was written off by an idiot in a BMW. ?

Worst, a Ford van in the 1960s.

Best Jeep Wrangler with a soft top. Not so long ago

Had 3 Renaults (then boyfriend worked for them), then Dad's old Granada (most comfortable), then husband's MG Maestro, then Fiat Panda (gift from Mum and the easiest to drive), then two VW Golfs. Current one is 11 years old and done 26,000 miles!

Loved my dad's Austin princess Vanden Plas in the 60s (when a lot of folk didn't have a car)
My first car was a Morris 1100
Liked VWs for a while: had a polo, golfs and a scirocco
Had Fords, Renaults, Citroens and a Nissan.
Best so far is our MG ZS electric car bought Jan 2020.
Comfortable; smooth; fairly nippy; cheaper and more environmentally friendly to run.

We have the exact same car Artaylar same colour as well. It's great on petrol and very easy to park. I like it a lot, but my favourite car was our Vauxhall Zafira estate.
