This is your chance to explain away your seemingly irrational car choices, when a more obvious or 'better' alternative exists. There are no right/wrong answers, no rules either.

I'll start with a couple..

I'd rather have an MX-5 than upgrade to any current supercar - it's better for the narrow country roads around me and I can use a lot more of the available performance; lighter and more nimble too.

I'd rather have an old Land Rover (Series 1) Discovery than a new Defender - easier/cheaper to fix and still does all the 4x4/towing stuff well, zero depreciation too.

Do you have a vehicle that on the face-of-it, isn't the most obvious fit or choice for you?

I'm with you on that - the wife has a basic spec Mini 1, it's great fun to drive, peppy enough and with decent sidewall tyres less likely to get punctures or a damaged rim. We wouldn't upgrade to a Cooper f'rinstance, if we had the choice.
