As per the thread title, I was wondering what "standard car" owners keep their cars the cleanest.

My vote goes for the new shape Mazda 6 Series, in Estate if we're getting that specific.

They always seem to be gleaming, you don't see that many, but they're never dirty when you do see them.

I think this will be a difficult one - Mazda 6 is a popular company car choice at a place I used to work and such they were always absolutely manky hehe

I'd say something that older poeple tend own and have the time to keep clean, space to keep garaged.

Honda Jazz?

Oooo good call. Newer shape Jazz always look clean. As do Honda Accords.

I've never seen a dirty MGB...and I've seen a few in the summer.

Do weekend cars count?

You don't often see a dirty pre-1980 Rolls Royce

My old Chimaera was my only car & used daily, & I know for a fact that this is the case with a lot of TVR owners. Not all of us have a 3 car garage you know.

Going to agree about the New Mazda6.

The lines hide the dirt well, but even the company car ones that come in aren't too dirty.

Okay so the MGB is a classic, so not an ordinary car anymore.

Agreed, but a Chimera is hardly an 'ordinary' car, is what I meant. I wouldnt class a hand built british 2 seater sports car, as ordinary. If you do, then fair play, preceptions and opinions I guess.
