After reading the worst car ever driven, how about your the first car you ever owned? Might have been covered before, but why not?
Started with a red Honda Jazz (also called City in some parts). A tiny 1200 cc car with a small wheel in each corner. Absolutely great fantastic! Cornered like a go-cart. Quick off the mark too: 68 horses and no weight to pull. Looked like a thing from Star Wars, or more like a Renault Espace that shrank in the wash. Memories... Went driving in the snow with it, handbraking it on car parks, waltzing four-wheel drifts...

Front wheel drive. But I must admit I drove one when they first came out and they were quite fun compared to everything else at the time. My first car was a new Fiat 128 which i bought in Germany whilst serving in the army. I had to pick it up from Hamburg docks and will never forget having to drive it through the centre of Hamburg. I can remember six lanes of traffic and trams. Quite terrifying for a young lad of 20. Those trams just dident move out of the way!
Austin 1300 estate, the one with the fake wood down the sides 
Was left to me by my grandfather when he died. Mint codgers' car with 45k on the clock.
Quickly uprated to a 1275GT with 13 bolt head, single 45 DCOE, and LCB exhaust.
Prob was it still had cross-ply tyres and hydro-spastic suspension hmmm.
Handling was er interesting...well John Cleese would have loved it
