2010 Jaguar XJL 3.0 and a 1999 XJR 4.0
Daily driver is a cheap 11 year old Alfa 147 which has a bluetooth interface on the stereo to stream music from my phone, dual zone climate control, a rather effective brakeforce distribution system as well as all the junk you usually get on modern cars like electric windows. Before someone asks, yes the electrics do all work. A lot of technology in the engine for its age (my first and probably last diesel) which has multiple injectors per cylinder, variable geometry turbo, swirl flaps, egr valve and who knows what else going on.
I also have a kit car based on a 70's design so very old school.
Whatever zipcar is cheapest. Usually a fiesta, which I hate. The golfs are more expensive, but they're not terrible cars.
Non. That last one got stolen, and then crushed - because the thief didn't have the decency to tax it, even though he switched the plates. The insurance company gave £900 for a car worth 5 grand. Still saving to buy a new one.
As an ged Brit, I've always been into & owned various models of Land Rovers, Current wheels are a 14 yo Range Rover 3.0ltr tdi & I love it.

Goodness, you didn't have that for long!
I still have my Peugeot RCZ GT 200 and still love it. It's quick, handles like it's on rails and after a few days of working from home the chance to throw it around on a few B roads is all the reason I need to go into the office.
My other car is a Peugeot 308 S 1.6 HDI (2008). This was bought purely as a motorway cruiser for the long commute I had when I bought it. 70k miles later and it's still going strong. It's not fast, it handles like a bit of a boat through the corners, but for long motor way driver it's efficient (cruises at around 75mph and 72 mpg) and the soft french suspension makes it very smooth.

I don't drive it cost's to much.
On Friday I would have answered:
2008 2.5T Mondeo Titanium X Estate & 1999 Honda Integra Type R.
But today (Sunday) I waved goodbye to the Mondeo as it went to a family member and I put a deposit down on a 2013 BMW 520d M Sport Touring, so technically I don't drive it yet but still - Tuesday better hurry up.
The Mondeo was fine for 'tech', it could play mp3 CD's and had Bluetooth voice connectivity which is essential for my job. It also had voice recognition for certain commands like changing the climate control temperature although I never used it.
The Integra has a digital clock, and.... yeah.
The BMW has the lovely I Drive (Pro Nav, so a proper-sized screen) which I can see myself fiddling with for quite a while. Also has adaptive Xenons and a few other extras. The original owner also specced the sports auto transmission so I get paddles, I can see those being used once to check they work and never again - I can see no joy being had from bouncing the soul-less 4 pot diesel off the limiter.
What car?
Either the blue one or the silver one. When I get done with it, the red one when the mood takes me.
2013 VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI Bluemotion.
2008 Dodge Avenger SXT 2.0 CRD (yep a diesel American car ... lol)
