...about the best three 'drivers' cars you have owned (in your opinion)

ill go first

ford puma - sloppy rear when performing fast direction changes/increasing cornering angle, felt like it needed a rear ARB imo

106 gti - gear change seemed to slow progress when driving 'swiftly', it liked you to take your time going from one gear to another - not rush

ford focus mk1 zetec - performance didnt seem to match up with the amount of fuel used, as if it disapeared somewhere



what about yours?

MX5 - Internal temperature was never quite right, often too hot or too cold.

MR2 Turbo - Seemed to rust easily. One winter on salted roads ruined some preveiously good bodywork!

Subaru Impreza - immobiliser/alarm is a bit of a funny one, as it requires you to start the car without about 30 seconds of unlocking. it often means having to click to lock the car whilst you're in it before unlocking it and starting the engine!

Impreza WRX - Was very fussy about what brand of fuel it was running and engine management light would come on often as a result.

Mondeo st220 - DMF Failure at 55k (£1300), sub frame bushes and lacquer peel on the wheels.

Peugeot 309gti - regular smell of fumes in the car, owner after me traced it to a pin prick size hole right next to the fuel pump.

New rear beam bushes apparently would have sorted that right out.
