Matt Alsop Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 My last car was a Peugeot 207 Sportium special edition. Bought it 6 months old and by the time it was 5 years old I'd had at least six expensive major problems with it. It was a total disaster !!!

Daggerit Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My last car was an S4 with almost all the option boxes ticked. It was a beast and tuned, lowered, wrapped, spacers, etc. Only issue is that I started doing 5 mile commutes and the poor thing wasn鈥檛 even heating up so thought it was a waste and chopped it in. Then the commute went up to a decent distance. Doh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim H Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hello and Welcome to the Forum. I started with a car with 998 cc, then bought a car with 140 BHP. I now have a car with 998cc and 140BHP. !st car was my Grandfather's 1981 (W reg) 998cc Austin Metro given to me when I passed my test in Jan 1997. Ran it for 9 years until it went to Metro Heaven in 2006, (body rusted away) In Sept 2006, I bought a 2004, Skoda Fabia vRS. A great car. 140BHP (officially 130bhp) 250 lbft of torque, and 45-50 mpg (more if on Motorways) from the VAG 1.9 PD130 TDI. I now have (bought last July) a 2018 Fiesta ST-Line X 140, which I love, although I still miss the extra torque the diesel gave. 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tef89 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Audi A3 Sporback 150 COD.聽 Had it from new (66 plate) sold it after 18 months as the cylinder deactivation started making a 'crunch' noise when it engaged.聽 JCT600 started bullshitting about avoiding fixing it so when I found out I had equity in the car I WBAC'd it pretty quick 馃槃. Was a nice car and the perfect size for me, enough power as well. Was a shame to have to sell it but I wasn't gonna be arsed arguing with them for the money I was paying. I do miss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 not my last car, but way back. I had a (like in the Sweeney series) 1977聽Granada mk1 3litre V6 automatic and a 1974聽Granada mk1 3litre V6 manual in the 1980s , this聽was when you could buy them cheap, The manual one was a tarted聽up rough one and was about 拢200, the automatic was in pretty decent shape and about 拢300. 聽Loved them.聽before them, in 1983,聽I had a 2 litre manual version , Ford Consul which was Granada with less聽shiney bits of trim,聽(the later pinto ohc engine, not the earlier v4) and that went like a rocket for a car of that era, but was full of holes as was normal in that era. Scrapped that one when cam belt broke, although on those cars it did not bend valves so could have been fixed but it was so rough and they were worth nothing then. See what they are worth now.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I learnt to drive in my fathers 1966 Hillman Minx, official paid for driving lessons (拢2 per hour) was in a Mini Clubman, first car of my own was a 1963 Vauxhall FB Victor, (bench seats, 3 speed column change, handbrake under the dash, headlamp dip switch on the floor) second car was a Morris 1300, 1968, paid 拢400 for it, it was 4 years old. after that it was a fleet of Minis, 4 in total over time, then an Austin Maestro after that a V8 Range Rover Vogue Auto, then a couple of Land Rovers, a S111 and later a non-turbo Defender 90, a 1966 S11A which Is in storage. My previous vehicle was a MK1 Focus which I bought whilst my current LR Defender 90 County was being rebuilt, didn't keep the focus but 12 months, nice car but had the chance to buy my current car, 2007 low mileage Fiesta 1.4 Zetec Climate in Tango met red for 拢800 plus the Focus. 2 vehicles are needed in my part of the world, if you only have one and it lets you down you're well and truly marooned. That's my vehicle life history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doylie Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I had a 1.7 Puma, similar specs as the 140 I've got now, but the 140 is no way near as much fun to drive as the Puma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was JCT 600 that put me off as well. I used to think they had a good reputation until they took over the local (previously independent, and very good) Audi franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetec S is a trim level (Zetec is also an engine name) which could be a number of ford models. 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
