I can't pick a favourite as a lot of then were favourites for different reasons. I can pick a worst; the Nova. Horrible, poorly built, piece of crap. Would never go near another Vauxhall because of it.

Here's my list
1973 Mk1 facelift Ford Capri 1.6 XL
1978 Mk3 Ford Capri 2.0 Ghia
1984 Ford Escort XR3i
1989 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SRi

2011 VW Scirocco 2.0 GT
Next up MK VII Golf GTI waiting at dealers for me.
From the Calibra onwards they have all been brand new.
I must have been lucky as they were all great cars in there own way and not one of them could I say I couldn't wait to get rid of them.
Who's next ??
-
A short list for me
- 2CV
- Mk I Polo
- Mk III Escort
- Mk II Astra
- Laguna 2.0
- Freelander
- Alfa 147 2.0
- BMW 120d Sport (chipped)
- Mk V GTI
- Mk VII GTI PP on order
The Mk V GTI is the best car I've owned, which is why I'm sticking with VW!
-
Here's my even shorter list......
1996 Citroen Saxo VTR 1.6 8v
2003 SEAT Leon Cupra 1.8T 20v
2006 SEAT Ibiza FR 1.9 TDi
2010 Skoda Octavia VRs 2.0 TDi
2013 VW Golf GTi PP
Generally kept them for 3 years before changing. Always liked the VAG cars, as you tend to get the best of performance, quality, reliability and value for money.
As JB GTI said they were all good in their own ways, with special drives sticking in my memory. The Saxo still holds some sentimental memories as it was my first car.

Well here is my short but all VW list:
Mk2 Golf 1.6d
Mk4 Golf 1.4
Mk4 GT TDI 150
Mk5 GTI DSG
Mk7 GTI 6MF
Mk5 is my favorite so far but the mk7 is catching up quickly!
-
I've enjoyed al my cars over the years. I normally change regularly, but the I kept the M3 for 5 years as it was just so good, but very expensive to run (every visit to the dealers cost at least £1k!). My wife also likes cars, so over the years she's also had some nice cars, in the mid '90's she had a series of hot hatches such as Golf's and 205's. I expect the Golf to be brilliant for my current needs which are mainly running both of my kids around, and my short commute to work.
1986 XR2
1990 BX GTI
1991-1998 Loads of boring company cars (Rovers)
1998 Fiesta 1.4 Zetec

2006 Subaru Impreza WRX PPP

2007 Impreza WRX estate (still got)
2013 BMW M5 (still got)
2010 S3 sportback
On order - MK7 GTI PP 5dr
Porsche 996 twin turbo was best with M5 close but I've enjoyed all of them for their own reasons if I'm honest. The mk7 tiks more boxes for me than the S3 even though it has less power but I think its a nicer overall package when the discounts available are applied:)
-
Mk1 golf gti campaign (shouldn't have sold)
Mk2 golf gti 8v (big bumper)
Mk3 golf gti 8v (which was rubbish)
Mk3 golf vr6
Mk4 4 motion

Mk7 gti pp (picking up on 1st march)
Also had a few vans on the way, but which was the best probably the mk2.
-
Shortest list?
Alfa 147 1.6
Alfa Mito 1.4 (135)
VW golf GTI Mk 7 pp
Still an Alfa fan but the gulietta cloverleaf wasn't on the same level dynamically, just went straight on when I tried to throw it into a roundabout
-
'99 Ford Focus
'02 Ford Focus
'05 Audi A3 1.6 fsi
'07 MK5 VW Golf GTI
'11 MK6 Golf GTD
'13 MK7 Golf GTI
As for best, I was very fond of the mk5 GTI. Very hard to beat that but the mk7 comes close!
Worst was the Audi.
-
This thread has a very tedious link to the mk7 and has been done to death in other parts of the forum, some of the replies don't even answer the question in the OP.
Just sayin..... :whistle:
-
Straight off my test, when everyone else was driving their mam's 1L mini metro, I was driving my Dad's Ford Granada Estate 2.8L Ghia. He had a works van and only really needed the car on a Saturday morning. :cool:
Then it went:-
1994 1.1 Peugeot 205 (sold it for more than I paid for it! :grin:)
1995 SAAB 900 Turbo (sold it for more than I paid for it! :grin:)
1996 1.4 Peugeot 205 GT (sold it for more than I paid for it! :grin:)
All following cars bought new:-
1998 1.1 Saxo (First car I bought new, and depreciation on % terms was huge, it was crap)
1999 1.4TDI VW Polo (should have bought a Lupo GTI, I still rue that decision not to get one)
2001 1.9TDI VW Polo GT (100PS PD)
2005 2.0TDI VW Golf GT (140PS PD)
2007 2.0TDI VW Golf GT Sport (170PS PD) - the one the bus clattered at 2 weeks old. :sick:
2009 2.0TDI VW Scirocco GT (140PS CR)
2011 2.0TDI VW Scirocco GT (170PS CR) - My favourite VW, it is as fast as my GTD, feels faster.

2003 Saxo VTR
2006 Corsa SXI+ (hated this car)
2008 MK5 Golf Bluemotion

I have found the new Golf is the best all rounder car i've had. It just does everything i want it to do so effortlessly. The Mini was great fun too but became frustrating as the performance was so inaccessible.

Biggest mistake was buying the Punto, its an omen when the car breaks as you are pulling off the dealers forecourt after you collect it.
The only car I was sorry to see go was the Mini Clubman, cracking car quite quick, economical but fun to drive. I'm hoping that the Golf will tick the same boxes as the Mini.

Do these threads happen once a month or something?
Apparently yes.
I was positive there was a thread a couple of weeks ago that was originally started in the Mk7 section, then moved to Off-Topic. So maybe the OP of this thread hadn't seen outside of the Mk7 box and thought that it hadn't been done.
The title of this post is a bit misleading anyway, "History of Cars" makes it sound like some documentary about the history of cars, not a list of cars you have owned.
-
Thats what I thought. History of the golfs or something.
-
All of them have started at the top, and work their way down to a MK7 :evil:
