Whats been your best car?

Have had a number of new Renaults and a couple of second hand ones - and never had any problem with them. Perhaps you were just unlucky!

I should coco!

My favourite is the one I have now - my Ford Focus ST (series 2 pre facelift - don't like the new 5 door one). It's 7 years old now and I've had it since new. It's more or less a toy now and only has 24k on the clock.

Don't think it is as quick to 60 as my Renaultsport Megane was, but that rarely drove without lights flashing on the dashboard and the dealer network hadn't a clue how to fix it. Also the weight transfer in corners was appalling and the steering was numb. When it was in the garage for the "272nd time", they gave me an old Ford Ka and that had a much better steering feel.

My other 'love' was my Renault 5GT Turbo, but that also had the typical Renault problems. Still like the look of some Renaults, but I'd never buy another

Now, that is my kind of car. If you sort out the steering and the brakes and the ride......

There's a difference between best car and favourite car!! Favourites (owned by me) were MK2 Escorts, MK1 Fiesta XR2, Renault 19 16V, Peugeot 309 GTi & the Mazda we have now. The best ones were a 1990 Isuzu Trooper diesel, rough but fantastic and a Vectra SRi CDTi 150. The Vectra took some punishment over its time with us, it did let us down a couple of times but it was roomy, comfy, fast & economical. A good all round family car that could give a hot hatch a scare !! We've had loads of different stuff cars, vans, 4x4's and all of them had their annoyances and endearing features. The worst was probably a Triumph Dolomite 1500.

Ford Capri 2.6 RS left hand drive or the Lotus Cortina MK 1, its to close to choose.

Lotus would have the edge for me Dozy.

Did have a friend who had a Vauxhall Viva with a Jack Brabham upgrade engine and it was ace at the time, and for me probably the only decent Vauxhall apart from the Cresta that company built.

In 1972 I bought 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 six pack. I think is was a 383 cubic inch.... GT qualifiers and Air Shocks. Burn rubber in 1st, squeal in 2nd and 'chirp' in 3rd.. impressive but....Drum brakes that fade and burn, and the cornering was crazy.
But it was my first North American car when I came to Canada in 1970.

Growing up in the North of Scotland we had a 1962 Saab 96...3 cylinder 841cc, 2 stroke engine with free wheel. 4 gallons of petrol and pour in a quart of oil all in the same hole. Eric Carlson won the Monte Carlo with a similar car.

Both were excellent cars but on opposite sides of the spectrum!

In the 60's I had a NSU 1200c a nippy little car done me well driving fron germany to caithness regularly while in the army.
after a few others i have come very fond of my Suzuki Grand Vitara.

I have had many good cars over the years, my old favourite was my first diesel, a Montego, the body work unfortunately was rubbish but comfort, and reliability were unbeatable, I kept it for ten years, but eventually the cost of putting it through the MOT was more than the car was worth. My current car is a Hyundai i35 crdi which is incredible value for money and has every conceivable gadget and comfort aboard, and is also very reliable
