- Its only a 1.6 and I dont like the alloys
Other massive negative is that it isnt my Golf.... god I miss that car!
Zak edit: didn't know you had one of those. Awesome visibility isn;t it....good for broadside in the forests
If you're not living on the edge, you take up too much room

+ Good on the fuel (42.9mpg whilst ragging it)
+ Keeps the insurance down for now until the points are off this October
- The only car I have owned that has had to go back to the garage I bought it from 18 times in the first year due to shoddy Renault workmanship (Has to be a Friday car)

Simon
1995 Peugeot 106 1.1
+It has no power steering, is pointy and i don't have to take oil tanker lines when driving it
+It can fit my friends when it needs to, or take another friends belongings to a new house in just two trips and it doesn't scare me on motorways despite being a small car (happy to go with the flow, if a bit loud)
+Its my first car and I love it and its earning me NCB while I am waiting for a Prelude
-It loses its nippiness quite easily if you load it or stick a hill in front of it
Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.
2005 (55) C180 Estate
+Excellent ride
+Hassle free motoring (just petrol and insurance!)
+Quicker than I thought
-Sounds like a hairdrier

+33000 miles
-Usually does 2mpg :-(
99 (v) mondeo td estate

R reg Citroen Xsara VTS

2004 Skoda Octavia vRS Hatch
+ Ultra smooth ride

+ Looks great

good reasoning mate....could NOT have worded it better myself even if I had to drive the thing!
October 2001 Mini One
+ Nice drive, handling and feedback
- Not enough space, especially for a mobile copier engineer
- Absolutely terrible fuel economy - around 27 mpg. My old 1986 Landy never dropped below 25 with an engine twice the size
-The engine's French, and it feels like it was sub-contracted to Citroen for building
1996 Mazda Xedos 6 Sport
+ V6
+ good at high speed long distance journeys
+ only one fault in 100,000 miles (engine took 5mins to start on one occasion)
+/- dealerships vary from excellent to complete rip off merchants
- bodywork is now full of parking scrapes, dents from lamp posts, scratches from passsers by, scratches from car wash machines.....
- wish it was a more 'fun' car to drive in the twistys
- parts can be expensive
