Surprising cars you've fallen in love with

[Baz2000]

What cars have you fallen for which you would never have thought you would have.

For the past few months I have been using on and off my mums 1.1 Citroen AX and I have grown to love it's simplicity and character something that I never thought I would be saying.

[MyNameIsNotBob]

Saab 9000

[billzeebub]

Subaru Forester

[gizlaroc]

Mercedes E320 estate.
Bought it as I needed a van, a load lugger, but thought that was better than a van.

Fell for it straight away and found my love of Mercs. Just a shame the newer ones have been a bit pants.

I loved my old Rover 45 Connoisseur - full leather, electric bits and in my eyes, a bit of a looker in black, with its shiny alloy wheels!

Only a 1.8 but spritely enough for A to B transport.

[Backtobasics]

Suzuki Splash.

[redtwin]

Lexus LS400

[mygoldfishbowl]

My present Peugeot 407 estate. Never thought I'd take to it at all but I've been very pleasantly proved wrong.

[iva cosworth]

Fiat Barchetta.

Owned it 18 months.

Have driven it more miles in that short time than any other car I have owned.

Somewhere near 14,000 miles.

[excluding 2 vans I had for courier work which did a huge mileage]

[Bungleaio]

Peugeot 208 with a 1.2 engine.

A million miles away from my last car (BMW 325) but I love driving it.

[TREMAiNE]

I've been using a Fabia TDI the last few months.

It has so much body roll, it looks like st but I do love it. It's great for the commute and I've averaged 65mpg!

Getting back in the RX today for the first time in a while saw me attain 15mpg for the same journey! I want the Fabia back!

[mini1380cc]

206hdi sw. Reliable,frugal and possible to leave overnight in the sttiest areas.

[Skyedriver]

After years of sports cars I fell in love with a Volvo 940 Estate, actually a 740 Estate followed by 4 940's
The breakers took one last week and another is on its way. Replaced by a Jag X Type Estate - very nice but not a patch on the beloved Volvo(s).

[Spoof]

Volvo 850 T5. Love them.

[smileymikey]

Hyundai i40 Tourer......I drive 1200 miles a week I Loved it

[eddrevhen]

The mrs' abarth 595.. always find myself looking for the keys to it, don't think i've done 1000miles in my audi since she has bought it!

[AClownsPocket]

A MK2 950CC Fiesta. No equipment, nothing to break and a clutch pedal that goes 'pyoinnnggggg' every time I press it. Love it to bits, such a hoot to chuck about.

[Buff Mchugelarge]

Fiat Seicento Sporting.

The most reliable, longest owned car I've had. So much character and such a giggle to drive too.
I've taken a deposit on it tonight and I'm gutted.
I've been less upset when a girlfriend has left me

[FRA53R]

My favourite car so far has been a Land Rover Discovery 2 V8 gs manual. I expected to hate it but instead I truly loved it, good fun and full of charisma. I will also recommend a Volvo 940 lovely beasts.

[alolympic]

Volvo S60 T5.
After my Clio 182 and 2 classics it started off feeling too big, heavy and dull to fall in love with but after a year or so I realised just how good an all rounder it is. Not sure I'd know what to replace it with now without spending loads of money.
