QOTW: What car do you drive?

[bowepa]

bmw 520 , 2010. That was always my dream car and had to buy it.

BMW M3. Bought one new, years ago. Still got it. Sold my lovely old Opel Manta though.

Focus ST

2008 Kia Ceed, just hit 100K miles and still on its original clutch and most of the exhaust is original. Totally boring, but has been very reliable. Ideally want to get another couple of years out of it before any big bills crop up.

My own car again, finally.

Seven weeks is a long time to put up with crappy little courtesy cars that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Focus ST

Mk.2 or 3, out of interest, if you don't mind me asking?

I had a new Mk.3 ST (TDCi) from 2016-2019, only new car I've ever owned. Had it remapped from 185 PS to ~220 PS (plus a ton of torque). It was fun, and I averaged 40mpg without even trying.

These days I have to be a little more frugal, and drive a 15-year old Merc C320 CDI which is actually a touch faster than the Focus, although it's a bit 'pipe and slippers' compared to the Ford in other respects. I fancy another ST in a couple of years' time though, preferably petrol this time. The Mk.2 is tempting as they're fairly cheap these days and I love the sound of that 5-cylinder Volvo unit, but I gather they're pretty thirsty. Just curious if you have a Mk.2 and, if so, what the real-world fuel consumption is like?

This is epic, btw

[TAKTAK]

Poverty spec, 53 plate, Ford Transit Custom.

I've got electric windows and a 3.5mm jack input.
That counts as 'tech', right?

Apparently my car is a VW Up. I paid a little more for the Move model that comes with central locking, air con and electric windows, and very little else in the way of tech. I say 'apparently' because my wife bought a Golf 1.6 with some fancy electronics but seems to prefer driving my Up. I am so disinterested in cars I couldn't tell you what year either was made. I don't have to pay road fund on the Up and that suits me fine.

Bikes on the other hand. My first job was in a bike shop. I got to ride most of the 80s superbikes and own a 750 Turbo I wouldn't otherwise have been able to insure. These days I have a couple low mileage modern classics in near original condition. A Mk1 600 Bandit that was cheap enough I'm happy to pull the engine apart myself, and a Kwak 750 Zephyr for Sunday best. Looking for something younger to keep the miles down on the Zephyr. Riding aids and other unnecessary tech is putting me off though, that and so many recent bikes being ugly as sin.

I don't have a car (yet) as I currently rely on public transport.

One day I will own one... But I have no idea which. I'll probably do the fuddy-duddy thing and look at what rates well for reliability.
