I'm relatively new on here so I thought I should share my current car as well as some previous favourites as well.

Had this for about a year now. 2.2 138 bhp derv (I needed something economical):





I had this for a couple of years, loved every minute of it. Civic Type R:



Before that I had this, Clio 172:



BMW 330ci Sport:



9-3 aero:



Theres quite a few other previous cars as well, but I haven't got all night!

Yeah that orange is quite smart. Which did you prefer the Clio or the CTR out of curiosity and why.

The clio always felt torquier than the type r, although the civic seemed to pull much better at higher speeds.

The 172 handled much better, without doubt, plus it was excellent on fuel (40mpg).

Although the build quality and reliability let it down, which ruined the ownership experience somewhat. The civic never put a foot wrong, I had so much faith in it.

In all honesty I would choose the type r over the 172 all day long, it was so much more rewarding when worked hard and it sounded fantastic too. 

The 172 is far from a bad car but the type r is the car for me.
