I've only ever really regretted buying 3 cars out of the ~30 I have owned in 15 years;

1) Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4. Bought with the utmost stupidity. Everything was telling me to walk away from this car but I still bought it. Was a big pile of st and I ended up breaking it for spares.

2) Subaru Impreza Turbo WRX STi v1. Bought via PH. Worst car I have ever owned. Scaff bars for suspension, misfires, gearbox issues, over heating issues. This was all within 2 weeks. Sold the car after 4 weeks taking an £800 loss on it.

3) BMW M5. My current car. At first it was great, but over my ownership it has thrown up a few issues, with the latest one being one that I either live with, or throw money at, which I arent really prepared to do either of, so after deciding to keep it, I've now decided it has to go. What I will replace it with I do not know, as there is very little this side of £8k that does everything an M5 does. I could spend £4k on it and it be no closer to how I want it to be.

So thats my 3, what about yours?
