So what car do you drive?

[Phoenix]

Silver VW Golf TDI. Cheap to run and reliable. Thats all i need.

[Trumo]

I got a tax disc through the post today. It runs out in two days and I had to cut it out of the letter with scissors and everyfin...

 

How the fuck did that happen if your tax becomes valid from October 1st? 

[cochyn]

A 2000-plate Audi A4 Quattro 30V. Bought it cash six years ago as a stop-gap and it's been the best car I've ever owned: Be it tackling the snow we had to doing big jaunts up to the Scottish Highlands it just barrells along effortlessly. It wants for nothing at MOT time, still drives tight and  when cleaned and waxed it still looks like new.  

 

I've tried the newer cars but nothing is that much better than what I have that it's worth shelling out on. German barges are boss.

Mitsubishi L200 and currently trying to shift my old 58 plate Mondeo

Mrs Red swears by her Saab......... at it, she swears at it!

Same reason I've stuck with our vintage 1991 VW Jetta.

 

I don't need (or want) to splash out on an expensive, flashy car.

 

if I did, I'd buy an Audi like so many of the fine examples in this thread.

I've got a Skoda Fabia 1.2 sport version, which is basically some red stuff on the inside. I'm not really into driving as such. I've had some old school cars, a Vauxhall Nova from about 99, then a burgundy Renault 9, then a Renault 11,all pretty ancient cars, all of which have a story of stupidity attached. Then a Clio, then another Clio. Exciting days, ha

The disc itself becomes invalid in two days my actual tax doesn't because they are being stopped but I have to show this paper cut out for those two days incase the cops wonder why I have no disc and stop me. They said the police have been informed of changes. It's a new car it never had a disk previously.

"Uh, a Cavalier"

I had a Cavalier until about 5 years ago and it was ace.

Engine was brilliant but bodywork was where it went downhill.

[Duncan Clench]

Mercedes C220d estate. It's the best car I've ever had.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

56 plate Citroën C4 5 door saloon diesel. Cheap tax, cheap insurance and save loads on juice.

 

Had a Mondeo 1.6 LX before. Absolute ball of a cunt ache it was. Sky high on insurance and tax and juice.

 

Saving at least £160 a month with the C4.

My girlfriend's brother in law has an old Cavalier perfectly preserved inside a plastic air bubble in his garage with an air pump on 24 hours a day because it's the same as his first car. It's at times like that I realise how unarsed I am about cars.

[stringvest]

Wow that's a very un-cavalier attitude to car maintenance.

I am pretty un arsed myself to be honest.

They are a modern necessity unfortunately.

Just replaced the old motor - economics moved me toward ford so I have a Midnight Blue (or just dark blue for the men in the crowd) Ford Fusion.

 

I guess it's marketed as the Mondeo most places in the world - but the design is pleasing on the new version.  Only had it a week - like it so far.

 

[stringvest]

to be fair Al, you probably drive the biggest beast on here.

[Mendoza]

It's two years late in Europe, think it goes on sale in November.

Is it me or does that car actually have a face?

Think I can see what you mean.

'13 plate BMW 320d touring xDrive M Sport auto and a '08 plate Mazda MX-5. The BMW is great - fun to drive in sports mode if you want, easy to drive if you're commuting. Wonderfully comfortable and classy interior. Gets 45mpg. Big boot capacity. Favourite car ever.

 

The MX-5 is a bit of a disaster. The drainage channels for the soft top get blocked easily and it develops electrical faults. Not a big deal if you keep it in a garage, but no good under a tree in the street. That said, it's like driving a go-kart in the summer and can go sideways wherever you like. Totally impractical though and rarely gets driven. I should probably sell it.

My car does have a face.  It says "Get the fuck out of my way".  Also, it says "I'm looking at your tits".
