One brand of car since you passed your test?

[Ved]

Just wondered who's stuck with one badge throughout their own car history. PH has a great reputation for everyone having a variety of cars over their lives but has anyone on here, for example, only stuck with one like Volkswagen and, even better, only a Golf?

I've split mine between VWs, Toyotas and a few other Japanese ones so own up if you're a one badge man

3 out of 6 have been Nissans. Does that count?

No. Didnt you pay attention in Maths to the bit where teacher explained 50% wasn't 100%?

[kambites]

I've had five cars, all of different brands, so far. Not intentionally - brand just isn't a consideration when I buy a car.

[Jasandjules]

Nope.

I've gone back to cars and had a few of the same make/marque but I don't think I could ever stick to one brand of car... For starters I can't think of any TVR I can use for the B&Q (Other DIY stores are available!) so I have no choice !!

[TheEnd]

Yep, BMWs, two e34 520s, a 320, then a 325, and now an E36 M3 and a E39 540.

[DavidHM]

Nope, 4 Peugeots, 3 Renaults, 2 Fords and a BMW.

And that's in descending order of reliability, given age, price paid, etc.

[Disco You]

Yep... that said it is only one car.

[m444ttb]

Started in Peugeot's before going into multiple BMW's. That was only because insurance on an e30 316i was silly compared to a Pug 106 1.6 XSi!

5 Fords. That's it. Sorry.

I keep buying them, they last forever and never seem to cost me very much. Other than fuel in the ST.

For #2 I was specifically after a Ford. The others were just the way it worked out. I'm after a RWD 2 seater next so I think it's unlikely the next one will be, but then I thought that last time too...

[sunbeam alpine]

Not exactly, but I've still got the car I learned to drive on!

[Aydogflipper]

All 4 have been vauxhall so far.

[jimxms]

4x Lexi's

Since moved to a Merc which I hacvent actually driven yet as its been in the repair shop since I bought it. So at present that doesn't count.

0.5 rounds up to 1.0

[samwell]

I did for my first 3 cars: '92 Vauxhall Corsa Flair; '06 Vectra; '57 Corsa VXR.

Then got the Scirocco...and am picking up an RCZ at the weekend... so have since gone quite awry.

[roscozs]

Ive had 4 Ford Fiestas since I passed my test and only last year bought a Rover Mini to shake things up abit.

I was "brand loyal" until they started manufacturing cars as repmobiles!

1: Alfasud ti. (first car back in '92)
2: Alfa 155 v6 re-vamp model
3: Alfa Spider twinspark
4: Alfa 164 24v cloverleaf
Then came their first of many repmobiles the 156! I thought it had no character,
was totally soulless and no fun to drive compared to their previous models.
In disgust and as a protest came car number 5.
5: Mitsubishi l200 animal (now the wifes car as it's still so much fun when off-road
or in bad weather)
6: Vauxhall VXR8 (all the fun and character of the old Alfas but with sooo much more
powerrrr!)

[MGZRod]

Only had two cars. Both MGs. Hopefully a Toyota next.

Brother has no logical pattern to me, Nissan, pugeuot, seat, Honda, lotus.


Not going to be buying a British car for a while I think!
