Favourite Car thread

So loads of us here must rave about cars... What are your all time favourites?


Apart from the obvious Aston martin Vanquishes and MacLaren F1's... Keeping it completely realistic mine are


1. Subaru Imprezza WRC
2. BMW 8 Series
3. Ford Falcon and Ford Mustang (later versions)
4. Ford Ranger Pickup

Sadly neither of the Fords I like are in production here in the UK, probably because they are too big...although there are loads of Imprezzas out in the country..Some of the cars here really really disgust me

I'm quite happy with my little Hyundai Pony but if I had the money I wouldn't mind a Volvo S40 in Touring Car Trim

Odd I know but a guy can dream.

If not then I'd have an Impreza (in Rally Trim) or a Skyline...what a car!

Yes, good car that - especially with Pirelli tyres

Haven't really got a favourite car, though the VW Beetle certainly has a certain, ahem, style :P

I had a Hyundai X2 GSi a few years ago (Pony on steroids) which I thought was fabulous.

I got rid when I found out that a new catalytic converter was about a grand then replaced it with a Seat Cordoba (biggest pile of crap the world has ever seen. Never ever buy one - don't even accept one as a gift).

My latest is my favourite by a mile - top-of-the-range Toyota Avensis with the most amazing air conditioning I've ever had in any car.
