A Horrible Car Bug! (and what I could have had!)

[Martin_M]

As I have reached the ripe old age of 30, I have been reflecting on my cars over the years and have realised that had I not wanted to change cars so often, I could be driving something really special if I had only kept some cars longer, saved more and bought less! I confess to having a horrible condition which sees me buy a car and get fed up very quickly!

Here's the line-up:

Corsa Comfort 1.2 2001

Honda Civic 1.4E 2004

Honda Civic Sport 2005

Clio 197 2007

Porsche Boxster 2009

Jeep Patriot 2010

Corsa VXR 2011

BMW M135i 2013 to present.

And now...well I can't stop reading about and watching videos about the VW Golf R and The forthcoming Subaru WRX STI!!!

Arghhhhhhhhh

You're in good company here and probably one of the more mild cases.

I average around 2/3 cars a year. I get bored very easily. Even now I am considering selling my M5 after less than a year's ownership, and I've wanted one for around 6 or 7 years.

Im 24, been driving 6 years and owned 15 cars and 3 motorbikes. Only consider ones ive owned over 3 months to be worth talking about though!

First world problems !

Do you only ever have one car at a time? If so, I think lots of people would get bored quickly. I find having a couple of contrasting cars sees me happy for much, much longer. Of course then you're running two cars, so not saving money unless you're buying heavily depreciating cars regularly and taking a hit each time.

This, I've had 3 cars for over a year bit had 2 at a time for the last 6 years.

Only ever have one car at a time - personally, I could never justify having more than one to be honest. My father always told me to stop buying new but I never listened...which is probably why he's sitting in a 911.

Might go down the leasing route next time - I leased the corsa vxr and it was generally a trouble-free experience.
