I already knew the model quite well so was confident in it being a good runabout. 91 Sentra

I could fit in it and it filled my wifes need for some power for the school run.Price was within our budget and mileage was good.V8 Commodore.

I wanted a decent amount of power and was not going to settle for the Holden V8 (5litre) as the stock Gen3 is so much more powerful (though I actually kinda like the exhaust note on the 5litre a lot - more of a low down grumble). I would have liked a manual but the Mrs is scared of it as it is and she is not a big manual driver. Low K's appealed with one I chose too. VXCommie.

road car: had run various quick BMWs and wanted something a little more laid back, and it's more attractive than 99% of cars on NZ roads
weekend car: because I went with my grandma to buy a brand new one c. 1972, and it had nostalgia value
club/race car: strong, cheap and tuneable - and considered one of the finest handling cars of all time

Came home late, had another glass, browsing TradeMe and saw a nice looking little car, woops hit the buynow button.Flew down to Christchurch & phew it was just as good as it looked in the pictures. We had a great summer drive back North with the top down. BMW Z3 6 cylinder, worked out very well indeed!

Haha, legend.
I got my Accord because I needed a daily for Unitec, and it's been great this entire year, no worries at all. Almost at 300,000kms.
I decided on it because A. it was $1,700, B. it was reasonably powerful, and C. Had read many a good review on their reliability.

I got the Peugeot GTi6 because my ex had one when I was with her and it was a great hot hatch. Economical, spacious, comfortable and reliable yet fun when on the open, twisty road.
I got the Exige because, in my opinion, it's about as hardcore as you can get in a road car that's still actually a car (disregarding stuff like Ariel Atoms, Caterhams etc that don't have doors/windows etc that I don't class as cars per se) It's certainly proven to be that way!

Had a Mk 1 and liked it, but couldn't afford brand new so bought an ex-demo petrol manual. Liked it and it was comfortable, handled and steered well, very versatile, towed really well, economical and 100% reliable so when it was time to change, moved on to the diesel version.
Had that 5 years and it was even better than the first, got a really good deal on a trade in against a new Mk2, also diese,l and it is even better on all counts!

Bought my VR Holden ute because my E34 BMW didn't have a tow bar. So it was 'buy tow bar & pay someone to fit to Bimmer or buy ute'. Why wouldn't you buy another car if the opportunity presented itself lol.
