What car do you drive?

[ThomasC]

Love driving and satisfying cleaning a car for end result.

This is my third Volvo.

It's so economical for a big car, has lots of tech, Bowers & Wilkins, 360 camera, blind spot system, parking sensors all around, heated steering wheel/seats, autonomous driving, pilot assist etc.

What you got?

A Toyota Rav 4 Hybrid, similar to this one :

i'm not going to name my car, but i recently upgraded to one 18 months old, and it has brought all the joy back into driving again. It has all the latest tech, which as a "real driver" i didn't think i would need, but it's just fantastic and takes so much of the stress away. I would never go back now

I was looking at an A class then I got one as a loan car whilst one of mine was being repaired and now don't like it.

I didn't like how it drove.

Each to their own though. If I didn't have a Volvo I would probably have a Mercedes of some sort.

Toyota's are very reliable or so they say.

I'm not ready for hbrid or electric anything. Once the world catches up maybe.

I wouldn't be ready for a full electric car yet but this one doesn't need to be plugged in, it charges off the engine so it's not that much different to an ordinary car really. I just love Japanese cars in general, most of my past cars were Japanese

Since I sold my last Black Cab I haven’t got my own ride and that suits me.
I very occasionally drive my wife’s 3 y.o. Peugeot 2008, but only if she holds a gun to my head.
After a lifetime earning my corn by holding a steering wheel, I get no kicks from driving anything now.
I've driven everything, from a Fiat 500 at home in London, to a LHD Mercedes 44 ton truck all over Europe, enough already.

A BMW 3 Series Convertible pretty much identical to this one. It’s a 2.5 so it’s quick when I need it to be and drives pretty nice too. It has pretty good optional extras considering it’s an older car.

We're soccer moms at the moment so are rocking a Kuga of course, it was my wife's choice. It is however brand new, which is amazing, our last car was 16 years old (10 when we bought it :joker: ).

He was a VW Golf+ and actually an absolutely solid car - hence us not replacing until now. We've had the means to for years but kept looking at cars then deciding against it, because we liked that car so much. In the end though it developed wheel alignment and repeated wheelbearing issues and was costing more to fix than to replace.

Have to say on balance I much prefer the VW interior though, despite the Kuga being a bigger car (more room in the back for kids & dog, certainly) I find it slightly cramped in front, both driver and passenger.

If I had the choice I'd get another VW or a Volvo. Again though likely a beefy SUV. Because like I said - we're in the Soccer Mom phase :hehe:.


BONUS STORY

This is the first car I've had with AC. Because of this, I did not know how quickly AC drains the battery when the engine isn't running (spoiler: it is about 25 minutes). We left the AC on sitting in the car while my daughter was at football, and had to suffer the shame of an AA man laughing at us and asking "Heh heh so who left the fans on?" as he arrived before even asking what the problem was. :fist:

My car actually died during LD, so I've been borrowing one from my folks for a few months. I'm not really as bothered by cars as I used to be, but I'm looking at getting an old school beetle, or an old Mk2 golf convertible.

I love the old Beetles, not really a fan of the newer version oh you know what I'd love is one of those VW Camper Vans :flutter:

Those camper vans are lovely. The shape and everything about them is perfect. Would be great for touring the UK.

I have only ever owned a Clio since I began driving. I just swap it out every couple of years. :laugh:

Lots of variety then.

On the lookout currently for one. Bit of a swine when you’re as tall as me and only really like small cars. :joker:

…I love those, I so covet one….:lovedup:…I was thinking, though…you would obviously need to buy provisions so for ease of parking in town etc, you would surely need to have a car as well …that’s a lot of carbon footprint….I mean, if you were parked in a caravan/camper van site …it wouldn’t be practical to just take the van offsite for shopping….

….there are tents that look like VW vans and they’re a bit more affordable so maybe that’s something to think about…

that camper van is a very unstable vehicle, so it wouldn't be my first choice. I prefer to arrive at my intended destination in one piece :laugh:

Have you changed AGAIN, Mrs?

I adore those vans. I even have an art print of one on the wall. :blush:

[Dogeatdog]

Someone I work with owns one of those old VW Camper vans. There’s a really big interest for them, there’s like owners clubs that go on cruises around parts of the UK and some of the vans particularly the older ones, sell for crazy money. It’s weird those vans in fact many older cars that you don’t see anymore have some presence to them when you see them in person that you don’t get with newer cars today. I was warned though that owning such a car can be a nightmare to maintain because of parts etc.

i want one of these
