What Was Your First Car?
Discussion
Peugeot 206 1.1 Independence, 2 years old and 22k miles when I got it....
Rear ended 3 weeks into ownership on the M6, everything rear of the axle replaced
Rear ended at traffic lights 6 months later and the same again!
Was on it's 3rd gearbox and had a habit of cutting out randomly (inc. L3 of the M25!) by the time I sold at 4 years old and 48k miles

Vauxhall Viva 1256 HC, in brown. Nice.
First car I ever drove was a 1300 pushrod electric blue Viva with wolfrace wheels. My first car was a Suzuki Swift 1.3 GS in two tone cherry red and white. Like this one...
It had a wopping 78bhp and hit 60 in 10.3 seconds. As a student, I couldn't afford a Nova GTE or 205 GTI so this was a good 'warm' alternative.
2000 Pug 106. 1.1 Independence a.k.a. Starship Independence Just after passing my test at 17 yo.
Bought for £1500 / Insured for £1500. Loved it. Was stolen and wrapped round a post. Didn't even get a chance to do that myself lol.
Had a few cars before passing my test which I was lucky enough to be able to drive on private land. So actually first car at 13 was an Austin Metro

Shame they are so rare now as I'd like to revisit that..

As much as I like the Metro; £20k?!My false start first car was a Jag X Type 2.0D - my dad bought it and hated and added me as a named driver. That lasted two weeks before, after we'd passed one another a few times, the old boy took it back off me (it wasn't objectively fast but compared to the little BSM Corsa I'd learned in it was a rocket ship).
First car proper was a Corsa C 1.2 SXi that I'm pretty sure was clocked - no AC but it did have 17 inch wheels and a fk off stereo so I was sorted for a couple of years!
