306 1.4 Miami - Boring
306 1.4 Meridian - Broken
306 1.4 Meridian - Slow and ate gearboxes
306 1.8 Meridian - Reliable, good looking - thirsty as hell, had to go diesel!
MK4 Golf GT TDI 3 door - Reliable, good on fuel - not enough doors, poor spec list
MK4 Golf GT TDI 5 door - Good car...until I modded it for college project, broke it for parts when cams/lifters and clutch/DMF failed
106 NAD Zest 2 - Cheap as chips, good on fuel, a bugger to fix as everything was rusted and seized - only a stop gap so sold it on for what I paid
Vectra B 2.0 Petrol Auto - Nice leather interior - f*cked waterpump leaking all over the place, took it back a few hours later for a refund
Avensis 1.8 VVti - Not as thirsty as expected, slow, horrible and cheap inside
306 HDi Estate - Borrowed from Rowell, took some getting used to after the Golfs, slow, poor on fuel for the slowness, expensive to tax
306 HDi estate - Bought my own after giving Rowells back so the insurance price didn't rise - didn't like that one either lol
2006 Vectra C CTDI 150 - Pile of shite, broke before I even got it off the driveway, cheap and nasty inside, noisy, poor on fuel, does have decent spec and costs little to insure
306 HDi hatch - Bought as a breaker, been driving it for this week - realised I don't like them after having newer cars lol - its a laugh to rag around for a week, but no chance as a daily
So yeah - if you're anything like me, everything you buy will be shit!
