whats your motoring guilty secret?

I used to lust after the Daihatsu Move RRXX when i was 17 etc, also at the same time after a few lessons from the AA I badically taught myself to drive.....I also at the time thought it might be cool to change my name by deed poll so I could tell people I had a private plate...C530XDH my first name does begin with a C and I thought Xavier, Diablo, Harliquin might sound cool.

I test drove a current shape Astra. My wife didn't like it (it's to replace her current car), but I did.
No feel, but handled very well, light, and supple suspension on broken tarmac meant there was more fun to be had. The 1 litre, three-cylinder engine was a game little powerplant too.
A bit like a PH Katy Perry but more embarrassing: I drove a base spec Astra, and I liked it...
I've been pondering having a try in the 200bhp 1.6 to replace my daily driver and suggesting if if be a good balance between commuting and fun when the opportunity presents.
Yes, I'm pondering buying an Astra "for fun". I feel like I should have in my PH card this week.
I actually have an Astra, which I keep thinking of replacing this year, but having sat in a few similar cars, there's nothing I prefer. I had a new model A180 hire car a few weeks back, it was very flashy and it certainly looked the part, but for driving experience it had nothing on the Astra, it was slow, not that comfortable, not that refined and despite being covered in screens wasn't actually better for equipment. The only real advantages were the LED headlights and the speakers were better. I test drove a current shape Astra. My wife didn't like it (it's to replace her current car), but I did.

I was glad to be back in the Astra. So my confession is not only do I drive an Astra, I also really like it
it's also a diesel, please don't ban me .

Whenever I see an original Smart Car on the road I have the urge to dive online and buy one.

I have a 2005 car from new. Love it.Would cover 95% of my motoring needs and save me a ton of cash.
Turning circle on it was side-splittingly funny.
