What kind of car do you drive? - Page 6

sherkanner · 07-13-2009, 11:06 AM

As I am french, I drive a... French car

Citroen (you know, the company that did the DS back in the 60's 70's)

But the new version, Citroen C5 (the black boat on the picture)

I like when she gets up in the morning (hydraulic suspensions makes it possible to modify the heigt of the car at will)

Comfort is impressive.
Diesel engine, below 6.5l/100km (above 45MPG)

We have three in our "fleet".

2002 GMC Envoy
2008 Chevrolet Malibu
2006 Pontiac Montana SV6

The Envoy and the Malibu are our daily drivers; the minivan is what we use when we're driving together as a family.

I have a 2004 Mini. Husband has a Toyota Rav 4, '62 MGA, & '69 Jag E-type.

We have Honda's. A Honda Odyssey Mini-Van (that mainly sits in the garage these days and only comes out for trips where the whole family is coming along), my Honda CRV, and a Honda Civic hybrid that the kids drive back and forth to college (it's 6 years old and has over 100,000 miles on it). We LOVE our Honda's.

Yesterday, I was at the Smithsonian's American History museum. They had a 1977 Honda Civic which was the car on which I learned to drive a manual transmission!

I loved that car. I was driving down a fairly rural road and hit a patch of black ice. After spinning out, I ended up in a snowdrift. I walked to my friend's house and her brother and 3 of his friends literally lifted the car out of the snowdrift and back onto the road, that's how light the darn thing was.

Over 30 years later and we're still buying Honda's.

Either we're really loyal or really boring.

OK - I drive an Audi A6, about 8 months old. Second successive Audi A6 I've had and like them a lot. This is the first automatic car I've owned and I don't see myself going back to a manual unless I absolutely have to.

My car history to date is:

Morris Ital (really bad car)
Vauxhall Astra
Ford Escot
Ford Orion
Vauxhall Vectra
Citroen C8
Toyota Avensis
Renault Megane
Audi A6 (first one)
Audi A6 (current one)
