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.

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.
