Car brand loyalty

[NiceCupOfTea]

2 BMWs (323, 330)
2 SAABs (c900, 9000)
2 Rovers (200, 25)
1 Mazda (MX-5)
1 TVR (S2)

Doesn't look very conclusive until you consider I've owned one of the Saabs for 15 years, the BMWs for 6 or so, and the Rovers as first cars for 3 years or so. Love (older) BMWs for the way they drive, likewise older Saabs. And despite only having owned 1 TVR definitely feel some loyalty to the brand and would happily own more of them if I had the time to drive one!

1 x Austin Mini
1 x Mazda
1 x Austin Metro
3 x Skoda
1 x MG
1 x Rolls
1 x Jaguar
1 x Vauxhall
2 x BMW

Surprisingly Skoda! Admittedly, the first two Mk2 Octavias I ran were very good indeed

[Jerry Can]

63 cars owned in 28 years,

1 Austin
2 Citroens
3 Peugeots ( 1 still own)
5 Rovers

[mnaylor]

I am quite loyal to Honda, but mainly their 90's vtec's.

2 Ford
1 Renault
3 Peugeot
2 Toyota
6 Honda
1 Citroen
2 Jaguar
1 Lexus

50% Japanese.

I currently have a Honda and a Lexus, and the other half has a Toyota so there is a Japanese bias for sure.

[RDMcG]

Hard to remember

6 Porsche
6 BMW
3 Mercedes
5 Buick
2 VW
I Oldsmobile

I bet if the question was 'had for more than 3 months' that list might be whittled down quite a bit!

[soxboy]

8 x BMW

1 x Saab

3 x Triumph
2 x Suzuki

30% Triumph, but the bike I've owned the longest is the Kawasaki as it was my first bike about 18 years ago.

My pick of that lot would be the Golf GTi's and GTD, Fabia VRS, Micra, both Swift's the Sport is sensational, Cayman...just WOW.

[Jag_luvver]

2 x VW (golf mk 2 and 3)
1 x Skoda (Octavia vrs mk 1)
1 x Jag (XFR)

I've liked Jags since my teenage years so will hang onto the XFR for as long as I can, but I don't consider myself to have brand loyalty.

I do think I'm loyally against some brands: I don't think I'd ever choose to own anything made by:
- Vauxhall;
- Peugeot;
- Renault;
- Fiat;
No idea why!

[DavidJJ]

1 Fiat (Cinquecento)
1 VW (Polo)
1 SEAT (Ibiza)
1 Toyota (Celica GT4)
1 Lexus (IS250)
2 Porsche (911, Cayman)
