What was your first car and favourite car ever!

[Hayles66]

I'm in love with those cute little mini's. They were at the show I went to yesterday! I could just imagine myself driving one of those and also saw a nissun truck. I love big trucks too. If I had money, I would have 2 or 3 cars at least! Dad was a mechanic, what can I say! Love of cars and trucks comes from him!

First? Forgot... Pug 205 i think
Fav, defo the silver Alfa Romeo 147! Heart broken when i had to sell it, how good was it? When the kid and his dad pulled up, one look and the kid said, i want it! Lol, didn't even bother to test drive it.
One that cost the least? The company vauxhall astra estate
Worst? The company vauxhall astra estate

Which truck? I know there's different names for the models from the U.S. to other markets. Like I think the Nissan Patrol there would be our Nissan Armada or the more plush version Infiniti QX56. I have a Nissan Titan but I don't think that's produced or sold anywhere else in the world. You guys probably get what we call the Frontier here... I think it's called the Navara there. It's the Titan's baby brother.

My big pet peeve about American motoring is for some reason American buyers are pretty mental about diesel powered cars. Even though modern diesel engines are actually about as clean as hybrid driven cars, have awesome torque, and better economy in some cases.

My truck is diesel and we have always had diesel because of their staying ability. They last forever, or is that just our luck. I can't remember the name but it had a twin cab and an open bed? ( is that what it's called?). Beautiful blue/silver colour. I like my 4wheel trucks big and beautiful.

My first car in 1969 was a 1961 Ford Falcon with a 3 speed on the column.

I can't decide for my favorite car between the Toyota Mr2 red convertible--don't remember the year--had it for about 5 years--sure was noisy with the motor behind my head. Then my other favorite was my Buick Rendovous van deluxe with the sunroof that I just traded in about 7 months ago that died with 125,000 miles on it.

Husband just bought a Prius. He would say that is now his favorite.

Prius hey! Don't get me wrong but I still love those gas guzzlers. Put your foot down and go!!! I love my cars!

First car, my grandmother's 1987 Mazda 323.
Favorite car, a brand new 2000 VW Jetta GLS. I miss that car. I traded it in towards a new Toyota Camry but I really miss that German engineering. Think I'll return to the VW family in the future.

(dream car, a BMW any model between 5 -7 series)

Favorite car - our Volvo XC70. We've driven it everywhere, even into the Fremont River in Capital Reef National Park. The Cathedral Valley road is really off road!

My first car was a G reg escort. It was a pile of crap but was ok as a first car.

My favourite care I've owned was a 1.8 16v Clio. So under estimated performance wise. 7.7 to 60mph and did around 130mph.

The car I own now is a Toyota celiac vvti and has never let me down in 2 1/2 years

Clio and celica photos added.
