Currently I have these two - both manual:




And within the next month, the 2-car garage will become a 3-car garage with the addition of a black GR Yaris smile

Not the perfect 2 car garage by any means, but it certainly works for us at the moment.

BMW X3 (F25) for family duties
Megane RS265 for fun blasts with a bit of practicality thrown in

Couldn’t be happier with my two car combo. The Corsa is a proper little hooligan yet still fairly refined and comfortable for my 30 mile B-road commute. The Corvette is a rare manual, the perfect weekend car for trips out to the coast.

(Awful picture) Love my 2-car combo, covers every base (ish), if I had room for a third it would go to a Renault Sport spider or original Dodge Viper RT/10.

Two car garage is the only way to go!

My previous 2 car combo was a daily driver Honda Accord Executive and a Caterham 7. The Accord was a saloon, so an estate / hatch would have been better, but it did the job. Back then, both manual!

Now, it's a GT86 and a Corolla Hybrid. The 86 needs no introduction, and the Corolla (in 2.0 guise) is actually a really great car. Waft in comfort at 65 to the gallon or, slip into sports mode, use the pedals and have some fun! To boost the practicality side of things, the Corolla Hatch is being replaced with a Touring as soon as delivery dates allow.

I'd love an Elise, Caterham or MX5 as a perfect 3 car combo, but I don't have a garage right now.

Mrs Catflap wants an i8... probably the only thing to get her away from the 86, but a close encounter with a Supra when ordering the Corolla Touring turned her head! If only they didn't bait and switch with a false price, I'd have walked away with two cars!

Some beautiful 2-car garages here thumbup

I was/am on a budget...so...

Honda S2000 and a lifted 5 door Grand Vitara for me.
The Suzuki is a cockroach of a car, that will stay forever with luck.
The Honda.... we'll see, life is short to spend with just one flavour of fun.

I've got a choice of 12 cars and 8 bikes. I prefer older stuff; not least, it appreciates, rather than the less desirable opposite with new cars. Current runabout is a full Type-R spec "CRX-R" and a 4WD 4 berth Toyota built Diesel camper (With a bike carrier). Both are over 30 years old. The more expensive but still '80's and '90's toys only come out very occasionally.

Currently, a petrol SQ5 and a Nissan 350Z.

But the Nissan is entirely too practical now that my wife and I both work from home, and will br transforming soon, into...

Caterham
XV220 NA 2.2 with a SC kit
Ginetta
Elise of some sort

Or something similar, to live in the garage and come out at the weekends for fun, sprints, hillclimbs, etc.

+1....My favourite combo so far.

My next favourite 2 car garage featured so far is the Caterham and the Porsche Cayman from AndrewGP.

Some other great cars featured also but unfortunately not keeping to the theme of the thread of a 2 car garage! biggrin
