    A J plate Rover Metero much like this one

    [​IMG]

    1.1l of raw un bashed British power, no central lock, no remote locking, no fogs, standard steel wheels, didn't even have standard ISO wiring looms for after market radio installation, manual choke or if feeling lazy a hand operated accelerator.

    Had that car for two years, pasted the first MOT with flying colours on the second year failed miserably because the entire rear sub frame had corroded, yup in one year it went fron fine to iron oxide dust. Saying that it was a constant battle with rust especially under the front wheel arches.

    All in all if I had a choice between my first car and my current car, current car in a heart beat.

    Ah man i miss mine. An absolute pile of S***, but i loved it coz me and my mates could use and abuse it without worrying about it.

    Cost me (my mum actually) £100, Proton Persona 1.8 something or other. A lovely faded red one.

    Not that we cared much but often the front door handles wouldn't work (in or outside) so I'd have to climb into the back seats to get out :p
    If you used the air vents, bits of leaves would come coughing out sometimes.
    And the heating had only one setting, FULL blast. So it would end up like 40 degrees in there lol:flame2:
    It was only needed for a few months, but we had some awesome times with that car. I miss it:bugeye:

    My first car certainly wasn't special to me.

    The car I loved the most was the last one I owned while living in the States.

    A 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood. 5.7L V8

    Man I miss that car.

    Fiat Punto Mk1. Good little car, no problems. Served it's purpose as something to get from A-B and then sold to move onto bigger and better things. It went to a young lad who wrote it off in under a week. Nice.

    Noticed a lot of kids these days especially around here (where I live, not Guru3D) with all the private schools and such, get bought new cars or given their parents cars and also have their insurance paid for them as well. Shocking. Pay for it all yourself and maybe you'll learn the value of money.

    Audi a3 1.9 105hp (130 with "OC") TDI (photo is from google, mine doesnt have the window on top and has a "rear-wing"? the rest its exactly the same) as you see, idk how to call things on english D:!

    [​IMG]

    Of course paid by dad, by im already more money-saver than him (just check my PC specs, i can buy everything i want unless PC goes over 1000€... but its under 500 i think xD), so he doesnt need to teach me about the value of money xD!. Mainlly because we dont have "own money" @ my family. Altho i earn enough to maintain it... and maybe buy a less value car.


    I still spend like 800-900€/year on gasoil at average 5.2l/100km -_-

    My first car (still have it because I'm only 17) is a 1999 Chevy Tahoe.

    5.7L V8, 4speed auto, 4WD, A/C front and rear, and 117k miles

    It looks like new inside and out :D

    Jesus Christ almighty, you were driving a brand new 325i as your first car? Your parents must be rich, and they must like you A LOT.

    Just got mine yesterday, 2nd handed Peugeot 206 from 2002, 65.000km, €3000. Not a sporty car, but by the end of the year, I'll be counting the cash I've saved on gas, taxes and insurance and go on a nice trip or buy some extra new hardware.

    2003 Mazda 6. It can be fun to drive but I'd like something with a bit more than what I have. I've always wanted a '67-71 Mustang. Eventually maybe.

    Not mine, but mine is similar. It's still in almost new condition, and it's more fun to drive than I expected.

    The first was a handed down 95 Toyota Camry from my mom when she left the US to stay permanently overseas. Was having problems with leaks, AC, and such, but uncle bought it off of me /shrug.

    I currently have another handed down 2000 Honda Accord from my sister who past away. It has about 185K miles on it though and I plan to finally get my own car once it gets to around 225K or sooner.
