What does your other half drive? Mine's just got...

She's got a tango orange Punto Sporting. It's actually a cracking car and useful to have something fuel efficient in the family. Before that she had a 1.7 Puma. Very fortunate that she loves cars and quite often borrows my Peugeot to do tunnel runs in like a massive chav.
She thinks the Exige is awesome but still wishes I'd got a TVR as they sound better. No pleasing some folk...

She's driving a golf gti currently, which she hates. She keeps talking about getting an Integrale, and sooner or later heart will win out and we'll end up with one working vehicle and a beautiful Italian ornament.
Her previous has included the obligatory mx5 and Impreza WRX.
Eventually she's aiming for a Cobra replica.

When my wife, then girlfriend, announced she was going to learn to drive back in 2004, i had my heart setting on buying 'her' an Audi S3 to complement my Peugeot 307 diesel estate company car.
As it happened she wanted a shiny new red car and being young at the time, budgets dictated and so it was a Kia Picanto 1.0 GS. Brand new - not much more than £5k - i knew the dealer.
Then 4 years later, along came the baby, then another, then another - and during that breeding period she upsized to a Renault Megane Grand Scenic 1.6, which does what it says on the tin, and suits her needs nicely.
She wants a Qashqai next.

but then he upgraded 
Just to add - we've never really shared cars. One has always been mine and one hers - despite the fact both are paid for by our joint bank account.
Both cars have always been vastly different. Mine have always tended to be diesels, and either a lot quicker or a lot bigger - i.e. Peugeot 307 vs Kia Picanto or Grand Scenic vs Ibiza Cupra TDI and have been fairly need-specific - i.e. big miles vs big family.
I'd like the idea of coming out of the house in a morning and picking which car to use for work.
Saying that, with the mileage i do, i'd probably take the older car if given the choice and give the wife the newer car for doing less miles in.

Its a bloody good car in every way and the most reliable car I've ever come across. Only consumables required in all that time.
A real high point in Honda's car making history IMO.
