Changed my Audi A4 1.9 TD SE for a Vectra 1.8 as the wife & kids started to use it to much & spoil it. With the huge wad I saved I got myself a lovely Rado VR6 with only 83k on the clock for £3.5k.

 

Never looked back, I tested a new 2.5 Quatro & my Rado beats it as a drivers car, whilst saving about £22k!!! :D

£500 Escort Van - Failed MOT on 23 counts, including eight of "chassis integrity" or somethinbg like that! :lol:

 

1043cc MK3 Polo. Went 4 years without a single problem. Was dirt cheap to run and walked it's MOT everytime. Then I rear-ended a call-girl... :wink:

 

2l 16v C.

 

Also, for the last eight months I've had a Mazda E2000 van. Awesomely practical and reliable, but damn it was thirsty! :shock: Made £50 profit on selling it though... :)

Aye.. people who've never owned them diss them, but they aren't bad little cars.

 

Though i'd be interested to see what they could have been if they had a bit more money thrown at them and were of a generally better quality. Well, I guess a 106 GTI thinking about it.

Indeed. Mine had a Magnex system, BMC CDA filter, Koni dampers, lowered 40mm, std wheels, and nice install. It was great fun without looking pikey at all.
