    Your favorite car, that you've owned.

    Bit of a run off from the other thread, but instead of "any" car, a car you've owned..

    For me I'm torn between the GSi I had and the Calibra.

    The GSi was a get in, rag the shh out of it and then just get out, as long as I changed the oil and filter it would run and run..

    Then theres the Calibra, driven just as hard, but cooled down properly before you get out.
    Sounded like a rocket too...

    Re: Your favorite car, that you've owned.

    The Golf R32 that I currently own.

    It sounds fantastic, is extremely comfortable and thanks to some mods handles and goes better than VW intended it to.

    Let's just not talk about it's petrol addiction though.

    Mk 2 Golf GTI.

    Absolutely wouldn't like one for my current driving, but it was fun back in the day..

    My old LH Torana.
    Handled like a pig on stilts, ugly as a hatful, but went like the clappers, and sounded brilliant.

    My old VW Golf TDI - reliable, lots of space for people to sit in and luggage space, good fuel consumption, low servicing...

    Re: Your favorite car, that you've owned.

    My debadged Rover 620ti - looked like an old barge, was as comfortable as an old barge, but suprised more than idiot who assumed it accelerated like a barge

    Having said that, it was thirsty, leaked in the rain and the battery consistently ran flat when I wasnt looking (which considering it had no locks on it meant you couldnt get in the car if there was nothing to power the central locking!).

    Well i've only owned a Fiesta 1.4 Zetec and a Corsa 1.8 SRi, I do really like my little Corsa though, 149bhp (tested on a rolling road) and really comfortable, brilliant little car .

    I've owned a Renault Clio 1.5 dCi with a leaking roof, and a near new Mazda RX8 231. Guess which I prefer?

    That is an ugly looking car. It looks like an over grown 1970's Opel Kadett.

    For myself I would have to say the Davrian that I had.
