raduv66 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Not to be taken serious and to take it away from the dark side " This car is crap because...." lets have some positive posts on cars. So name a car you like simple as Well me first and two cars I've owned and had bags of fun with. Pug 205 1.9 GTI this was my first venture into modding cars and was a great lil hot hatch for its time. Scooby WRX STI PPP 03 Blobeye the best looking of the scoobs and what a sound from that flat four only a V8 could sound nicer. just my opinion guys have fun play nice now .

stuarty Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I took my astra sri 1.9 150bhp diesel for its first service. The dealer gave me a new astra vxr as a courtesy car. I couldnt believe how fast it felt at the time. I dove half way home and turned around, went back to the dealer and bought one, lol. Car was priced around £20k i bought one with a vx partners discount for £15,400. Sold it a year later for around £14k, so i was really happy with that car!

JetSet Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I loved my Black Capri 2.8i and to this day I don't really understand why I traded it in after just 2 and a half years with just 17k on the clock for an XR3i. None of the other cars I've owned had anything like the charisma of The Capri. Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 106 1.5 diesel. It was old and slow. But super reliable and I ran it off vegetable oil. Put some rainsport 2's on and it handled very very well. Plus had some good times in that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete I had a black 2.0 sport many moons ago went through three clutches in it and the drivers door used to fall right off its hinges when I opened it sometimes. And I had great fun with it for about four years I traded mine in for the pug GTI but ive always liked those big bonnets out in front.

DoogyRev Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My Mini (original shape.. Not the bimmer imitation) The most fun you could ever have in a car. Nope not fast, but a chuckable, and generally a good laugh, every journey was a mini adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyB Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fiat coupe 16v turbo, I will have another one before I die. Not everyone's taste but I think they look great for there age, probably won't try putting 350hp throught the front wheels on the next one, torque steer was emense but once it was going it scared lots of people that weren't expecting it :-) Oh and my focus derv daily for making it possible to run a 16 mpg zed for fun.....

LRF4N Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When I had the merc I was given a smart for2 as a courtesy car. Feared the worst, my colleagues called me gay.... but man that was a fun little car to drive! Slow as anything but felt rapid cos of the size/shape of the car. Daft gearbox- forward/back that was it but felt like I was playing mario kart on a DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiuchi-Gary Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lancia Beta Coupé, a 2+2 two-door coupé, 2000cc DOHC engine Great car shame about the Pirelli Tyres! In the wet a Renault 12 out performed it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I know people are gonna hate me - Mk2 TT quattro 1.9 tdi - stuck to the road like glue, was pretty quick and returned 50+ mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My old smart car and also my old Almera GTI. Fond memories of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabee Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I had a 1993 Honda Crx (UK delsol) VTI after buying it fixing it up (new arms bushes and tein coilovers) and getting it perfect I sold it about 4 months later! Biggest regret I've ever made as I know its new owner loves it as I should of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Never driven or even sat in any of these, but..... Chrysler 300c. Just seems to have such presence without needing "badge prestige" to achieve it. Original Lexus IS200 To this day I still reckon they look smart inside and out. New Corsa VXR Best looking VXR from Vauxhall IMHO (excluding the Monaro, but I don't think that counts as a regular Vauxhall) Diahatsu Copen My pic of the quirky sporty numbers. I like it even though I'd never want one Deliberately didn't put obvious likable sports models as the list would be endless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Had pearlesant pink MGTF 160 The most fun I have had in a car and a lot of other places! There's a guy just up the road who has at least 5 of these, guess he loves them too. He also has an MX5 and hidden behind these are several other cars. What's strange is that when I got my first car some 40+ years ago there used to be a load of Triumph Heralds parked outside the same house .

Will370z Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Got to be my first 350z simply because it allowed me to meet some great people and make some very valued friendships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 You know what? I'm going to second the Corsa VXR mentioned above. For what it is, and I'll ignore the drive as I've never been in one, they got the styling absolutely spot-on and at a great price. Looks like a modern-day Max Power special but with a lot more class, and the fact that you never see one with extra bodykit bits on means they got something right. A nice turbocharged engine means you can get some good power out of it easily as well without massive expense. I'd drive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amstrange1 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I loved a Metro GTI I owned - not because it was a brilliant car, but because I got it for free so treated it worse than a hire car. Was great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Citroen 2CV - Minimalist - Amusing - Surprising capability if you understand the laws of momentum - Infinitely flexible space - all seats come out in seconds - roof rolls right back - can carry anything - Ideally suited for condition of Surrey roads - can take unexpected short cuts without ill effects - Has features which provide fun for onlookers/passengers - fold up windows - cranking wheel to open ventilation flap - loud clicking indicators (no light) - cornering attitude at speed appears to defy law of physics - Can thrash it all day long with no ill effects - Very comfortable - good steering, ride and brakes (if later inboard disks) - Stress free - you just sit back and relax (well it's a bit noisy but you can't have everything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Mk 2 cortina 1600Gt in 1982..... Now let me just take off those rose tinted glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My old Suzuki cappuccino was a fantastic car. Rear wheel drive, 657cc small turbo 3 cylinder engine and 660kg = great fun. Everyone smiled at the car and if you ever passed another which was a very rare sight the other owner would wave frantically at you like you were their long lost brother! My fabia VRS which for the life of me I don't know why I traded it in for my Audi a3 that I have now. The Fabia was the better car in every aspect. I have so many fond Memories of past cars...
