Cars you didn't know existed...

(I already knew it existed, just always happy to give my opinion )

Personally i like it, it's not going to be mistaken for anything else and it's a coherent overall shape.





Better looking than a P1 by miles.

Is that a hacked-about Hyundai Coupe?

Audi S3 saloon, quite nice but I don't really see the point, or knew it existed...

I like small-ish saloons, and generally detest Audis. But that is quite nice - they got the photocopier settings pretty much spot on there

Despite it being 'small' it is still quite a size. I am considering one as the A4 sized cars are so big now. There's only 2 of us in our household.

I lived in Brazil a few years ago and didn't know either of these 2 until I went there:

Corsa pickup - this is the sport version I bought as soon as I realised they existed and then had a bird smash my windscreen driving away from the dealer, doh!



And my 1.6 VW Gol (no, it's not Golf, no "f"



edit: not sure how to get the photos to show without clicking on them!

I really like the Corsa pickup! Small pickups are great - I think the old Polo based one is excellent - shame more not about.

The first Gol's looked similar to a mark 1 Golf, but had an air cooled Beetle engine up front

It was a lovely little thing to drive, no weight in the back and it just flew even with a little 1.6 8v engine, I loved it one of the favourite cars I have had.

I've had several personally, a mk1 1.6 gol, the mk 2 in the photo, a mk 4 1.0 as well as a 1.6 saveiro which is the small pickup based on it and a Parati which is the estate car also based on the Gol, running on bio ethanol. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of these.

One of the businesses I was a partner in out there was a used car garage specialising in older motors, there's a couple of picks below but we had things like Unos, Caveliers, Chevettes, Beetles, Astras etc!

Erm, I had no idea this exited until recently. In some ways it is my perfect car right now.

Those are awesome. There's one owned by a tuning garage somewhere (was at Japfest this year) that's a track car with 4 fixed sparcos in it

I saw tons of those in Dublin when I was working over there last year. Another car I saw several of there that I'd not heard of before was the Nissan Tiida:



Both of them fairly unattractive bland lumps of metal IMHO.

There's a Nissan Tiida parked near my house. Arnold Clark imported quite a few from Ireland to Scotland. They are quite odd looking. Slightly better looking is the hatchback version which I have also seen on the road here.

I once worked for Arnold Clark for a few months (shameful I know but it was good money) and we had a couple of these in. I'd never seen one before and knew Scotland had taken a few in, so I was keen to have a poke around them. They are truly SHOCKING.

Hideous outside, dreary inside, godawful sluggish auto-box and slow as hell. I'll give it one thing, the front seats are very comfy...as long as you're stationary or moving in a completely straight line because the side support is non-existent.

There's something very wrong with aggressive looking, body kitted cars with spoilers that have a soft top.

[Blown2CV]

there's something very wrong with that full stop.

Mitsuoka Orochi. Bit of banter about it on the previous pages, if you feel so inclined.

Only just found out Audi offer the A3 2.0 TDI 184 in S-Tronic Quattro form, and its faster than my MK5 GTI. Straight to the top of the 'potential next car list'

It doesn't really exist as it's a home made one-off - here.

Driving behind a Skoda Citigo this morning, never heard of one before.

It also comes in Seat flavour as the Seat Mii.
