My car had an amazing !

[Thankyou4calling]

Washer resevoir!

Each car I've owned I remember for some feature that set it apart, often an oddity.

My Citroen C5 for the HUGE size of the washer resevoir.
My Chrysler 300 you could unlock from over 100m away.
My VW Phaeton thay leapt forward at the slightest touch on the accelerator.
My Lexus GS300 with an uncannily quiet tickover.

Does anyone else recall such things of their previous cars?

The complete opposite for me. Fuel tank never seems to last.

[Thankyou4calling]

which car?

[sparkyhx]

Lexus LS430 oh the silence & oh the comfort oh the reliability
Modded Nissan 200sx - oh the brutal acceleration

[guitarcarfanatic]

My Volvo 480 for the cool digital fuel gauge/dash

My Peugeot 406 for the very comfy ride

My Saab 9000 for the amazing boot/load space

My Saab 9-5 for the amazing seats

My Audi A3 for the nice dash clocks

My Merc E-Class for the brilliant auto gearbox

[guitarcarfanatic]

Also, the Saab 9-5 washer reservoir was also a monster, but would empty quickly due to the military grade jets that sprayed a litre a second on the screen and headlights!

My Megane has a pretty beastly one.

More impressive is the fact it's leaking (Bumper off and there's a constant drip drip coming from it), but it still seems to last months and months!?

MK2 golf, with the rear seats folded had a huge amount of space! Managed to get 12 large boxes in it with plenty of room to spare.

Seat Ibiza, the deadliest lift off overseer i have ever experienced, new tyres and tracking didn't cure it so must have been a design feature

[moffat]

My C63 for the noise and brutal acceleration
My S2000's for their 9000 rpm limit and screaming engine
My 640d for it's great external size and tiny internal space
My Audi S3 for all weather traction

TVR Griffith - visceral roar.

[RacingBlue]

...amazingly bad driving position (Clio 182).

The rest of it was superb though

[stedale]

Megane coupe, power >hinged< rear windows

[Darko92]

EJ9 Civic in Nighthawk black and it's sheer chuckability. Nothing ever went wrong with that thing.
Pug 306 for it's go-kart style driving (I was 17 at the time ok)
E46 Coup for the HK Sound System

Also c5 RS6, just ridiculously quick for such a large heavy car.not many people expect to shift like it does

[thatdude]

my (wifes) golf mk IV had....

.....heated seats!

Such a brilliant thing in winter. It had five stages of heat. 1 was comfortable, 2 was toasty, 3 was getting a little too toasty, 4 and 5 were nuclear.


My suzuki SV650s (1999 model) has...

...a decent rear brake!

More modern machinery seem to have really st rear brakes. My SV hasn opposed twin-piston rear caliper, which gives great feel and power, really good for slow speed maneuvering and such. I had a 2006 bandit (hire bike) and now also own a 2008 yamaha FZ1s which both havd / have a single-piston sliding caliper, and they were / are ste.

E500. 450 watts of HK 7.1 sounds.

[McFarnsworth]

- Golf mk1 convertible
The amount of crap this thing can haul with the roof open (and thanks to the rollover bar) is insane!

- Saab 9000 turbo
It had some... lots ... everything wrong with it, but it just would not give up and die.

- Mini r53 Cooper S
Worthless as a 4 seater, absolutely brilliant as a 2 seater. It fitted my 6'5" frame with room to spare in every direction. A lot of far bigger cars do far worse in that regard.

.....rev limit (for 1986) - Toyota Corolla GT Twin Cam 16. Red-lined at 7800 or so, Yamaha/Toyota 4A-GE motor.

[cocopop]

RX7 - drinks fuel at an amazing rate.
MX5 - leaks an amazingly large amount of water into the passenger footwell.
