What did you drive in the 2020s?
Discussion
2017-2020 mk6 fiesta zetec - my first car took probably 40k miles of abuse from me learing to drive, only ever needed a header tank
2020-2021 mk3 golf gti 8v - decided i should buy an old vw to cure some lockdown boredom and scratch the itch ive had since my mum got her mk2 scirocco, was a great car to run about in day to day minus the rot
2021- corsa d vxr - its alright for what it is, will go when you stamp on it and has comfy seats, I just dont seem to have bonded with it like the other two, can see it going after another year of NCB

2018-2020 a 2016 Toyota aygo on a ridiculously cheap deal. Paid 7k for it fully loaded from Toyota 3yrs old & 2.8k miles on it. Traded it in against my yaris grmn. Car was 4.5yrs old & had 10k miles on it. Dealer gave me 7k trade in for it.
2020- yaris grmn really really enjoying this car. Admired them from afar when released in 2018 & eventually bit the bullet. Inially seen this as a stop gap for a few years till the gr floods the market at 2 years old now not so sure

Personal vehicles: BMW 335i, Kia rio & KTM Duke
Use of or borrowed: Audi SQ5, Mazda MX5, Mini cooper, Porsche 718 Boxster GTS, Yamaha YZF R125 (Phwoar), Renault Kadjar, Mazda 2
The porsche was a highlight, won it for the weekend so did the NC500 in August when we were allowed to venture out.

Went into it with my old modified BMW 2002tii and Golf R estate, sold the golf after 5 months of reduced mileage whilst working from home (i used the 2002 more instead!) and bought a Lexus ISF. I thought now is the time whilst im not car dependent and who would have thought it would be cheaper to run than the golf anyway?! Use the other halfs Volvo V50 from time to time, had a go in a Stelvio QF which i found quite disappointing, just felt like my golf r estate on stilts with a nice interior.
It's been an unusual year (not sure if anyone else has noticed?) but in particular for me unusual in terms of car changes, as I'm not typically good at selling cars, but have managed some churn this year finally.
2005 V70 D5, gave it to a friend as I couldn't be bothered to do the drop links or anything else on it any more.
1999 GTV V6, finally sold a week or so ago, was only driven to MOT / cambelt service last year and a brief lap around the block for a final drive goodbye.
Cars I actually still have / like etc.
2003 Holden Ute
2005 Monaro
2008 Holden Commodore wagon.
1998 316i Compact just arrived as girlfriend's first car / learner car, drove that yesterday, so all in all, strange times.
There was a brief period of commuting in each of them during 2020 but realistically I've done hardly any mileage at all, so I've taken the Monaro apart and am going a bit silly on it.
