What was your first car?

[SteveMcs]

So my pug is my first car, and i was wondering what other people chose first and why?
I chose my little pug because it was ridiculously cheap and felt a lot more fun than similar aged golfs and fiestas id looked at.

[Matt-Rallye]

I had a Mk1 renault clio 1.2, simply because i have always loved mk1 clios and because i couldnt insure the 1.8 16v i was doing up at the time

But the little 1.2 8v was immense fun, even had a 'V8' badge on the boot

[7057sam]

[ozonehostile]

Technically my first car that I had on the road was a 306 Nad, but it only lasted 20 minutes before I boiled it to death haha

I think the car I had the longest after passing my test was a 405 Dturbo

[mr_fish]

Peugeot 205 1.8D

Gave £50 for it, off a farmer

[SteveMcs]

Its weird that every first car has been different so far... A 306, a clio, a corsa, a rover mini, a 405 and a 205. Round where i live, pretty much everyone gets a corsa for cheap insurance

[Chris_90]

Fiat chiucento (how ever it's spelt) 900cc then on to a Suzuki alto 1.0

[rallywoodhall]

I dont drive by my other halfs car was a 954cc citroen ax

[1616six]

Had 40+

first i owned was mk4 Escort

First I used on the road was an AX

[bashbarnard]

I travelled for all my cars to be honest apart from mini which I bought off a neighbour. To be fair though all my money went on insurance when I started driving. I used to cycle to work so I could afford to go driving in the evening.

[ozonehostile]

Funny thing about first cars and insurance though, when I started driving all my mates were buying 1.0 micras, 1.2 corsas etc for supposedly "cheap" insurance, yet my 1.9 td 405 with t2 and a bosch pump (stage one tuned naturally ;-)) was half the price.

Only major difference was they were paying £60 for 6 months of tax while I was paying £120 but guess who had more fun

[bashbarnard]

My first 306 was aroun the £1500 mark to insure at 18. That was 7 years ago.

[SteveMcs]

Sounds about right, im paying £1200 at 19 for mine

[bashbarnard]

My current one all mods declared £531 with my other half on. Puts it down loads when you have a kid.

[swampy]

very highly modified MG Metro

[Pete]

Mk5 1991 ford escort 1.4 fresco, was a mint low miler more-door until I crashed it twice lol. Cost me £1200 to insure 11 years ago

[StarBenn]

I started in a 1.6 petrol 306 then the 2.0 HDi 306 I currently own. At 30 I feel that's a very low number of cars to have owned.

[Frosty]

Ph1 sigma Dturbo brought off a mate with head gasket gone

[Seb_Ryan]

1.6 mk5b Escort si 3 door, then Ph1 miami blue 306, then I had a 360 bhp subaru for 3 months cos it was only 450 quid, then my diablo Ph2 dts which I still have, and now a vectra b dti estate lol

[rallywoodhall]

Interesting hoe some people go for higher engine cars when it would be so expensive as a first car

[Andy annear]

My first weapon lol! 1.7 derv, had it a few months then got fed up of it, shocking economy and no go! Was immensely clean mind, when i sold her people thought id resprayed it LOL

[SteveMcs]

when i was looking for cars, i found 1.4 petrol to be the cheapest and big engined diesels not too far behind. I don't think it matters on the size, more on the actual car.

1.1c rover metro rio
