1st Car was a Renault 5, electrical problems galore, would never start when I wanted it to but I loved it to bits
Worst car I’ve owned has to be that crappy Rover Maestro

My first car was a Mk2 Fiesta from 1989. It was just before the new model came out so they made loads of different special editions - mine was a Festival. It was okay, until I decided to spray the dashboard silver..... I have no idea why.
Then in 1998, I got my 1990 Golf GTi. I loved this car, but unfortunately it decided to die.
Then came a Mondeo. Mistake after GTi - very boring. But only had it around 3 months because I wrote it off.
After that I wanted to have another fast car, so found a Sierra XR4x4. This was fast, but also drank a hell of a lot of petrol.
Then along came a new Mini Cooper which I shared with my then Girlfriend, but when we split up, I lost the car
I actually haven’t got a car at the moment, living in town i don’t really need one. But I’ve got a 50cc scooter! WOW!!

My first car was my mom’s old VW Golf (from 1986 I think).
In 2003 I upgraded to a Toyota Tazz/Conquest (Not sure what they’re called in other countries)

My first car was an Opel Kadett E from 1990. My grandma bought it that year, after her death my mother drove it. When I got my drivers licence, my parents gave it to me. In 2004 I started a new job and need to drive a lot more, so I bought an Opel Corsa C. But I don´t think that it will last as long as the Kadett did. That good old vehicle left us last year. RIP!

I haven’t got a car since I have no got idea about how to drive it...

It was a light blue G-reg Vauxhall cavalier... drove like a tank and I couldn’t get on with it. Mind, I was still learning then!
My first car when I passed was driving a Citroen Xsara Picasso... but that was my dads and I could only drive it when he said.
But my first car of my own as a passed driver was a Rover Metro. £125 from the car auctions, only needed 2 new tyres, a tiny bit of welding and a radiator to get it through the MOT... bargain car. Ran well, was nice. But it was just a 1.1, so didn’t have any umpf. I now have a 1.4 P-reg Vauxhall Astra LS. I LOVE my car!

I started in October 1998 with a 14-year old blue Renault 9 (of 1985) with an automatic gear.
I have had this car for 10 months.
My second car, which I bought in September 1999 was a red old model Renault 19, from 1989 (10 years old).
Loads of problems with this car, so after 1.5 years I was happy to get rid of it.
My third car I bought in beginning of 2001 was, despite of the bad experience of the previous car, again a Renault 19,also red, but now one of the newest models (from 1995), so only 6 years old.
This was a very nice car and I have had it until November 2005. In total i have had this one for 4 years and 9 months.
Last November (2005) I bought a black Renault Megane from Januari 2001.

My first car (my own) was a Suzuki Sidekick (1992)
2 doors, not a good car for long travels but mechanic & gas cunsuming was excellent. A very good & underatted car: love it so much that I bought, this year a 2002, Chevrolet Tracker (same car but built here in Canada) for Suzuki. This time I have a 4 doors.

My dream car (the word dream is the key here) would have been a Vector. I think it’s not built anymore. That car was so racy...
In the real world, I wouldn’t say no to a Chevrolet SSR (one of the cutest car for the day to day)

1980 VW Beetle... I love it. Still have it.. and never going to sell it... not a chance..
These cars were never produced here in Argentina, so they are kind of a “rarity” believe it or not... mine is imported from Brazil...
