What do you drive

I am about to buy a new car, cant decide between a Sensible BMW 1 Series sport or a Land Rover

What does everyone else drive here

People mad apparently.......

I used to have an Alfa 147 2 litre twin spark and that was as far as me and "status cars" went,i learned my lesson and since then ive gone for simple but reliable models like ford fiestas or pegueots.... cheaper insurance, cheaper to run, cheaper to mantain and tax.
I found that once i was married what is the point in trying to cut a dash in fanny magnet cars when one im married and 2 i dont really have the cash to run such things, but you live and learn i suppose.

I have a fiesta now, Never had a 'nice' car so thought its time

I've got a Passat- fairly decent car and its reliable but far from a fanny magnet.

I now drive a vauxhall zafira 16i design, brilliant family car Dane and not to bad on fuel. LV charge £262 a year fully comp with 4 yr no claims bonus. Steady reliable car.

i need a car for work as well , im on the road an awful lot covering all of the southwest

I've got a vw caddy a vw transporter and a mini cooper s all three are very reliable. Not a fan of the bmw one series , I would recommend a skoda octavia estate very reliable,comfy and cheap to run.

Nissan Qashqai +2. With two young children it's a right bonus to have a bit more space. Lucky enough for it to be a company car so not sure on running costs but never had a problem with it and it seems economical. A good combo between a larger car for family outings but still seems small enough to not seem silly driving alone.

Yaris.

My wife drives a 2 year old white 120d auto Msport - beautifully balanced motor, in fact any more power and it would need serious extras to hold it down so just about right!! My little A1 2.0 TDI Black Edition no slouch either - very fast but only £20 tax and average 50 odd mpg, it's really weird!! Good luck with your choice

Mazda Bongo, become a bongonaut  

ldv convoy, extra seats, fold down beds. all my own work

2011 BMW 3201 M Sport. Company car. Would I buy it? No. Eats petrol

Wife has Toyota Auris and this is an excellent car

My bruvver in law had a skoda octavia, nothing but trouble, I've got a Transporter that I've converted myself, my favourite vehicle of all time, I have had several discos and loved them as well but unless they are working for you they are thirsty, expensive to tax and eat props hafts and tyres.

nothing, since my Micra was stolen and torched 2 years ago.

i drive my girlie insane

Seat Alhambra Weasil which is huge and unbelievably cheap to run, Audi A8 4.2 V8 4WD, also huge yet surprisingly unbelievably expensive to run, Nissan Micra 1-0 which I don't use much cos it feels like I am wearing it rather than driving but that is the one that seems to get the most use.

Small seems to be beautiful nowadays and some of the designs make it possible for even the larger chap such as moi to get a decent driving position, the new Focus range are v nice if a tad OTT with gizmos, if money is the issue some of the Korean stuff is mucho cheapo and gets under the tax and congestion charge emissions level without the up front costs of a hybrid or a VW.

320d touring. Bullet proof and if you don't drive it like an utter Toss, really good on diesel. I'm driving to Bristol airport tomorrow and will get there on about two and half gallons.

Vw golf fantastic car, but i can't get the fanny magnet to work:cheers:

I don't drive, I cruise...

Spoken like George Michael...........

I have a newish citroen Picasso and the wife has an old daewoo matiz.

I drive the matiz most of the time and I fecking hate it!

Test driving a golf gti tomorrow.

Great car.
