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.
