How Old Is Your Car

I have a 5 year old Toyota Yaris it suits me fine although I backed it into another car yesterday 🙈 DH has a BMW X3 which is 5 years old that I am not allowed to drive😬

20 old 😂😂❤️‍🩹

My 2nd hand Yaris is about 10 years old.

Just changed my 10 year old Yaris for a hybrid model which is automatic. It's not new but new to me.

My totally black, inside and out, John Cooper Works Mini is 10 years old with 102,000 on the clock and I adore it.
It is often admired and complimented by strangers in car parks!

I have a 2 year old black Mini Cooper Sport Automatic and get lots of compliments too. I love it, and being older with arthritic hands, it is brilliant for me.
Prior to that, I had a Mazda MX5, which I adored, but which wasn’t that practical to get in and out of once I got older.

Although I don’t believe it’s generally true that the latest of anything is necessarily an improvement on the older version, I do believe that’s true of cars, particularly with regard to improved safety features.

When we replaced one of our cars for a brand new one about three years ago, we were amazed at the extra features it had even though the one it replaced was only nine years old.

I previously sold my 14 year old Yaris which I loved, before buying a Toyota Aygo which is now 8 years old - only 33,000 miles.

M0nica DH always chose a Saab 2L Turbo as his company car - he had 9 in a row and we always bought it for me when it came up for renewal. The final one, in Malachite green, I gave to my Dad, who drove it until he was 92 and had to give up driving.

We have a Citroen C3 which is 7 years old, it has only done 16500 miles, we have had it for 6 years. Prior to that we had a Honda Jazz for 12 years. Both automatics, after driving in the USA we switched to an automatic car.

Mine’s a 2009 Kia Cee’d estate, I’ve had it four years and like most of my previous cars I’ll keep it until it has to be scrapped.

I bought my automatic Renault Clio 3 years ago and she is now almost 8 years old with just 36,000 miles on the clock. I love my car. My last car was a Peugeot 207 and it was 14 years old when I changed to an automatic. I drive a lot of miles between Scotland and South England to visit family.

I have an 11 year old Renault Clio which I love. I intend to drive it as long as we both last!

25 years old, Nissan Micra and I love it!
So reliable, easy to park and a dream to drive.

I day - just got a new one yesterday. We are giving our other one to grandson , that one is 10 years old but in good condition. He needs a new one because his has done 500,000 kms and he is a newly qualified doc and works awful 12 hour shifts overnight. We were worried that he might have a nasty accident.

My Volvo is just over a year old. I will keep it until it’s old though. My previous car was 10-years-old and starting to need serious money spending on it.

My Ford fiesta was 20yrs old in April, despite 148,000 miles on the clock, it still goes like a dream. Previously owned by my grandson for 3yrs and bought over from Ireland beforehand by a friend of my sons. I have never had any money for a newer car but am coming into some money, and a much newer car is on the list. The car is then going to my 17yr old grandson when he passes his test. It may only last him only a year but he thinks its quite a cool car

Mine is a 12 year old VW Golf Automatic and I love it. It's getting a bit old and creaky now, a bit like me, so I might look for a new (second hand) one. Maybe.

Just sold my VW van after 25 years, not new when I bought it. I have an almost new replacement and while I loved the old one the new one is much nicer to drive and everything works. The only issue is it's a mobile computer and although it's easy enough to use I really don't need it to be so clever. A brand new version of my old van would be much better.

My Z3 will be 26years old September 15th looks and sounds amazing

I bet it does, how great! DH has just treated himself to a Z4.

I bought my 2012 Volvo C70 with 4k miles on the clock in 2016. Still under 50k mileage.
It is a joy to drive especially now the weather is warmer. I absolutely love it and will keep it until either it or me dies.
Little boys are captivated by it when I put the roof down, apparently it’s a transformer.

DH’s air conditioning has just given up, to have it replaced/repaired is more than the car is worth.

I have just told him I will not be going anywhere in it with him until the temperature is below 20°

So I imagine I shall be the primary driver over the summer 🤬🤬🤬

Oops, meant to post primary driver, going everywhere in my car over the summer

Mine is a 2018 Nissan Leaf (electric). Contrary to popular belief, its battery is in perfect health and it can do as many miles on a full charge as it did when brand new. I got it second hand in 2021. I won't replace it until I have to.
