Since my first 'proper' car, bought a V-reg 1.8 XS at 18 and even managed to insure it for less than a grand. Loved that car to bits! Every car since has never lived up, whilst my MX5 was more of a laugh to drive it wasn't as practical (surprisingly). Had that car nearly 2 years before getting a GTi6, which was a dissapointment from the XS to be honest and that ownership didn't last 6 months...because I stacked it on the way to work one day. Broke the car for parts and saved up and bought a 1.8 Cabby, which I still believe was one of the best looked-after in the country! The previous owner had spent a fortune on bodywork, tuning and a full leather retrim inc. heated seats. Lovely car, but juicy and slow (28mpg!) so I got rid and bought an MX5...
...Now with a small family I couldn't think of a better car to have for the same money (£1500). The Ford Focus was supposed to be the best in class, but I feckin' hated mine! Back in a Y-reg HDi and loving it.
