What's the best thing about your car?

[white_goodman]

Just interested to see what everyone likes about their current cars (hopefully you like your car)! Fortunately, even my worst/least interesting cars have had some good points! Conversely, has anyone ever owned a car with no redeeming features?

The best thing about my current car, an Impreza WRX is full throttle in 3rd gear!

Just for interest of my previous cars, this is what I liked best:

Cinq Sporting: Handling and joie de vivre
mk3.5 Astra 1.4 (V-shaped grille) - Best speakers and acoustics of any car I have ever owned!
205 GTi 1.6 - handling and lift-off oversteer on demand!
MX5 - top down summer evening drives
BMW 325i (E30) - comfort and straight-six noise!
Corrado VR6 - the noise and the rear spoiler!
mk4 Golf GTi - VW 6-disc CD changer (unfortunately it was slow, unreliable and very thirsty though)!
Polo TDI - fantastic fuel economy, cheap tax and fantastic cupholder!
Fiat 500 - Red and white interior

What's the best thing about your car and have you ever owned a car with no redeeming features?

Series 2 Landy; rolling the sides and back of the soft top up, removing the door tops and opening the front vents - perfect in this weather!

Porsche 964 - the sound, the sense of occasion whenever I got into it

Corrado - the rear spoiler

Porsche 968 - the handling, with tail out goodness on demand

Corsa: the options package (fairly rare) which includes some really quite terrific seats.

Elise: The steering.

to much to list

[folos]

First few cars there wasn't much to like I guess!

1st - 1998 5 door 1.2 renault clio, it got me around!
2nd - 2004 ford fiesta finesse 1.25, bugger all!
3rd - 2008 ford fiesta zetec S tdci - fuel economy?
4th - Liquid yellow clio 197 R27, the handling - no corner was too much for it!
5th (current) - 2007 (56) DPB golf Mk5 R32, the engine obviously

It's red.

Current car - 2008 118d ES Edition - The best thing about it is the seats as I suffer from a bad back and its the only car that I can drive for any length of time without crippling myself.

[E38Ross]

The refinement/smoothness.

[peterbredde]

Mazda 3 - the stereo - for a base car it's pretty damned good.

[VinceFox]

The balance of being quite powerful, smooth and still engaging, for half the price youd have to pay for anything else that does the same, while still being reliable.

The noise.

[Jasandjules]

I have a TVR Chimaera. I trust this is a rhetorical question.

[PumpkinSteve]

New Polo: It's quiet. It does nothing fantastically well, but nothing poorly either.

Fiesta 1.1 Pop plus - The car that got me everywhere. Still have a soft spot for them.
Sierra Sapphire 1.8 GL something or other - First RWD car. Taught me a lot, without killing me. Also, bloody comfy.
Astra 1.6 Euro 96 special edition - No particular redeeming features. Was new, but apart from that, meh.
1993 MR2 NA - Bloody lovely. Not the fastest, but lovely handling. Made me want more power, so...
1994 MR2 Turbo - Bloody lovely. On boost it gives a hell of a push. Comfiest car I've ever sat in. The car I regret selling the most.
1984 Merc 190e - 2.0 auto. Like a tank, went surprisingly well considering an auto. Loved that car. Handled really nicely, and despite the somewhat tweed seating, and squarish dash, was very nice place to sit.
1984 Astra GTE - Fully race prepped ex-luminition championship car. Handled like a silly thing, and the engine with its Peter Maiden head screamed like something being tortured. Little rocket ship. Had to be push started.
Isuzu Amigo - Got me into offloading, and did SO many miles out in the backwoods of the Adirondacks. Many good memories.
Infiniti G35 - Comfy, comfy, and comfy. Lovely noise from the 3.5 V6, and being RWD you could really play with it. Bit of a sleeper as it just looks like an everyday sedan type thing.
Suzuki Vitara - Current plaything and daily. Slow, not overly comfortable, noisy, not great on juice, but had hours, and hours of fun in the thing out in the hills and back trails.

[matthias73]

RWD. Absolutely innapropriate for someone my age, I shouldnt' be allowed near it to be honest!

[A900ss]

BMW 520d - Cruises at 95MPH at less than 2,500 RPM and is so relaxing whilst doing it. Handy when you drive high miles.
It may not be PH but it is real-world.

(and a Bluetooth System that connects with my iPhone to warn me of speed cameras).

[900T-R]

TVR. The noise
MINI. Mini roundabouts

[Conor D]

1.6 Eunos - Dab of oppo in the wet, well below legal speeds.

[white_goodman]

Apologies. Should have said in the OP but some of you haven't actually said what car you're talking about!
