The perfect 2/3 car combination?

[Bart 124]

The fiancé and I have a good set up going at the moment in my eyes:-

2006 golf GT Tsi - the daily
2002 Noble M12 GTO - Useable hoon car that she also drives time from time
2003 Ultima GTR - For when it's dry and you need to hear the sound of a V8

[MrVert]

Was:
Old X5 3.0d - good old tank
BMW 335d coupe - work car
Astravan Sportive 180 PS - all rounder, trips to the tip and quick as hell
Porsche 911 GT3 - big boy toy

12 months later....

X5 xdrive40 - perfect lugger and family bus, wife's daily driver
Audi TTRS - nippy work car
Mini Cooper D - commuting car
Porsche 911 - old skool. cool Wekends and Euro Trips

It's been an expensive year

[Dr Slotter]

Currently for us:

C-Class - main car, wife daily.
106 Rallye - my fun/occasional work car and when the Merc doesn't like the weather.
Caterham - fun x10.

[TheInsanity1234]

My perfect 3 car garage would be:

Range Rover (5.0 Supercharged petrol) - daily.

Ford Fiesta - shopping chariot for ding collecting.

And something agreeable for when the Rangie or the Fiesta just won't do (there's always that scenario).

Thanks, the build quality is really superb, one of the only cars I've been in that seems to get quieter the faster you go...

[Cartloads]

i have what i think is the perfect combination

1, BMW E60 520D
2, BMW E46 M3 Convertible

i like to think the best of both worlds.

[Jaguar steve]

Our 3 car combo works for us.

Battered Berlingo diesel MPV. Cheap and comfortable daily.
MG TF. Topless summer fun and B road hoonage when the mood takes.
XJ V8. Long distance drives and weekends away.

Sub ten grand the lot

Without getting ridiculous this time.

Daily: Mercedes CLS (W219). Probably a diesel and automatic version (320 CDI pictured).


Shop nipper: Renault Clio Trophy 182 (or an earlier 172).


Toy: Lotus Elise 190.


Close, but not quite,

I've got a CLS for the daily hack. Wife has a Civic for shopping and carting the kids around (It replaced her RX8). Plus an Ultima GTR for the weekend toy.

Something like this Exige V6 Cup for zooming about in and track days

Very much looking forward to the forthcoming Tesla version of the Exige
So, that, a BMW i3 and any Tesla Model S and I'd be an extraordinarily happy greenwash victim

[Patrick1964]

I have an X-Trail and a 986S, if money were no object I think a Disco 4 & a GT3 would do the job even more enjoyably

[Patrick Bateman]

A car that each offers different things to the others is key.

I've currently got the M5 and a Clio Trophy. Might consider a third car in the form of Boxster S/Z4M at some point as well to get the topless motoring base covered too.

[Filibuster]

I know, I know...

But since I bought a new car, I can't help but brag about my perfect 3 cars garage!! (sorry about that... )

Well, the new one first:


Porsche 911 Carrera, coupe, manual


Audi S4 Avant, automatic, 4.2 V8, quattro


The two black/black daily drivers together


Volvo 1800 S, just the perfect classic car for me and of great sentimental value to me!

There are all bases covered, I'd say. From a sunny sunday morning blast (911 or Volvo), european city trips (Audi or 911) to ski holiday (Audi) and classic car meets (Volvo) and just about every other opportunity!
The only thing missing is a small shopping car... Oh I should have kept the Lupo GTI... That was a great car too...

[99dndd]

Golf GTi
MX5 built to Hillclimbing/Sprint regs.
Renault Twizy (would be fun)

[GrandAndrew]

I'm contemplating rearranging my cars to achieve something like this, I'm currently a bit overstocked with Peugeot GTi's, ideally I'd like to end up with my 205 (modern classic) 986 S (everyone needs rwd and six cylinders once a week) and in addition to this I'd like to add an XJ8 as a nice rainy day car.

What will probably happen is that I'll buy an XJ8 and not sell my 106 or 306 though. It's just all of the road tax that frightens me!

Had my three outside together briefly earlier, so took a photo:

Given a bigger budget it would still look similar, just different cars:

• Lightweight mid-engined sports car
• Fun daily
• Cute shopping car for the wife

A revision.

BMW 130 with some mods - daily
Atom- track days to reset your head
Griffith - for cruising to the pub on a Sunday afternoon
