Guilty Pleasure Cars

So guys, we all have those cars which we know we shouldn't like, what's yours?
I caught myself looking at a new Mondeo estate yesterday, thinking "that looks nice, I wouldn't mind owning the diesel one".

Agreed, I'd love one but I'm not sure I could live with driving one day-to-day. I'm sure they're a hell of a lot of fun on a track day!

One of my supervisors had a jcw mini which he chopped in for a 500 abarth in a kind of gloss flat grey colour, looks awesome!

A Mondeo estate seems sensible and practical, not sure why that's a guilty pleasure.... I mean I could understand if you'd said a pink Micra cabby or similar....
Love all small Fiats, Even the old Cinquecento sportings! Not many cars I hate TBH, everything has the potential to be good with enough imagination/effort/money thrown at it.
One standout one for me is the Nissan Cube, I love 'em  ![[Image: 2zp12lw.png]](http://i50.tinypic.com/2zp12lw.png) *Dons flame suit*

I quite like to drive my Fiancees 07 punto so nice and quite, smooth, easy to drive. Keep saying I'm gonna get one but doubt it will ever happen lol

Pretty much all Skoda's. Not the best looking but it's VW quality without paying for the badge!

Mini gp works. Would love to drive one, but always think blokes look odd in any mini. I try not to be seen driving the Mrs' Cooper d but it is good fun.

Mk2 Clio. My mate had one and it was shit, spent all of the time in his ownership fixing it. First job I ever did was all new valves after he snapped the cambelt at full chat. But ever since then I've always had a soft spot for them, and would like a 182 one day. Plus they look pretty awesome. Oh, and pops and bangs remap.

E46 320d touring with the Msport alloys. It's sensible, does decent mpg, I wouldn't give a shit about the paintwork that much (back to a good ol bucket and sponge Lol!) and I could chuck my mountain bike in it and go miles and miles on very little fuel in relative comfort.
Not ready to be an old man yet though, I enjoy driving too much!

Ed that's exactly what the Bosnian workers in our factory drive! Probably for the same reason, except instead of a bike they carry a shit-load of tools!
Personally, MK1 Focus RS has always done something for me. I know it shouldn't really be a guilty pleasure, since it's quite highly regarded, but I have a lot of hate for the MK1 Focus. The interior is sh*t, the build quality is average and to drive them they are predictable and un-inspiring. But the RS... Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.

What do you mean "guilty pleasure"? Everything is rubbish compared to the 306!

The RS is an excellent car. It's like the Delta Integrale, a pretty poor base vehicle transformed into a world beater. Seriously considering a Volvo 740 now, apparently if you can find a diesel they like veg... ![[Image: tapatalk_1427020983519_zpsnwvozlhb.jpeg]](http://s768.photobucket.com/user/annegg5511/media/Mobile%20Uploads/tapatalk_1427020983519_zpsnwvozlhb.jpeg.html)
