What was your first time car?

[Bewilcorp]

I'm nearly ready to pass my driving exam but I haven't got the slightest about cars.

What was your first car? Or any recommendations?

[scottish]

Haha Citroen AX was my first car, and I still have it! :D

Little AX Jive in white, does the job of getting me to work. Only paid like £300 an it was Taxed and MOT'd for a year. :D

Please tell me it's lowered and got stretched tyres on it? :D
Possibly smooth bumpers? Basically euro'd up? :D

[Blinger1]

Although i know its probably hated in the UK thanks to top gear or because its a crap company, the (Vauxhall) Vectra is pretty good. I drive it, i like how it isn't a big car and not a small car.

Nice! I do love a nice euro'd VW! :D
I'm into the old Beetle's too, the whole low and slow look. Love it. :D

[Nightcrawler]

my first car was peugeot 307 but had to sell it due to other commitments :(
i miss my car, im getting new car soon but not sure what to get as need something cheap as will only be using it about 100 days of the year.

[Eoin]

1.6 honda civic vtech hatch. bought for 400. decent wee car for the money like!

[GommeInc]

Don't, whatever you do, get that Mondeo. All of them have a broken back bumper, they're horrible to park and drive! Start off with something small, like a Fiesta, Corsa, Saxo etc. I'd suggest something that isn't too old, as you can get pretty good deals. For example, an '03 Fiesta for less than £2,000 (last I checked). Not too flashy, but not cheap as chips :)

Oh, and I got a 5-door Fiesta mk5 with a 1.4 petrol engine. Very nippy, nice space and good on petrol. It was £4,500 when I got it (years ago mind you), so it will be alot less now. It's worth thinking about, all the cars in that era ('03 Corsas etc) are pretty good, not hard to fix and come with some pretty good things inside.

First 'time' car got to be this one:

http://americanmadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/bf-back.jpg

No really, it's a Ford KA mk2.

[Black_Apalachi]

Mini Mayfair. This thread doesn't really make sense given your name and sig lol.

With a bodykit, or somewhere between the Audi TT and the car? Or maybe neither, and it's hiding somewhere in the boot? :P

Haha he's not talking about the DeLorean, he's just saying his car is a Ka :P.

No that's what my car is lol, not the time machine :P

Well you've ruined many posts to follow that were going to ask for a ride :( What KA? The new one, the Street one or the one before that which is adorable and like a bubble?

[Yoshimitsui]

It's the new one :P

Awww, cute car :P Is that KA Style, or Style + (going by wind mirror and wheels)?

[Dan2nd]

My first and only car to date was my Mini One some people say it's really a BMW though so meh call it what you want

[Yoshimitsui]

It's the seccond model, Style. Not much point in the style+ in my opinion. :8

[GommeInc]

Indeed, unless you consider air conditioning and a heated windscreen worth the extra £600 odd :) It's odd the Ka Zetec has the type of wheels you'd find on a standard Titanium Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo :/ Ford are terrible with not making their cars similar in specs depending on model :P *nerds out over Ford cars*

A/C alone is worth $1200 IMO. I am falling in love with Ford.. if they kept their value I would probably buy one.

I only knew of two kinds. I've only seen one of Yoshi's before and I was like wha?! Looks even more like a Fiesta than the first one :P.
