JimmyJames Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Jimmyjames what was your opinion on the civic type r v the 330ci? Type r was a great little runabout, s**te on long runs though. Went to Paris and back in 24 hours and it was on vtec most the way lol. On the other hand the 330ci was a great all rounder but ideally needed the extra gear my m3 has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Driving for 6 years: FIAT Punto 2a 1.2 - first car. Learnt to drive and then sold to my uncle Skoda Fabia 1.4 - upgrade over the Punto. I loved it for a bit, then the VAG reliability hit and it became uneconomical to keep going VW Polo GTI - loved this car. Not the best in the world, but great fun and cost about £70 in repairs in 3 years Mazda RX-8 - owned alongside the Polo while I was on my uni placement year. Lovely car, crazy running costs and not that exciting on the road as never near it's limits VW Golf GT TDI (PD150) - worst. Car. Even. Crap noise, looks, chassis, handling, ride, engine. Good gearbox though. I was sad when it got rear ended as the damage wasn't terminal! BMW e46 330d (current) - very good all rounder, and still able to put a smile on my face, when hooing up an Alp or Highland pass, or equally happy sitting on a motorway at 70, returning up to 60mpg. Not the cheapest car to keep going, but at 216k miles, it's still only failing on rubber/wear&tear items. BMW e30 325i Sport - not the best start to ownership, but I'm looking forward to getting it back... some day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpanneR Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Corsa 1.2 Energy - First car loved this little thing but had a tendancy to want to spin out and in the end hit oil and ice and had a choice between a tree and a bush so i chose a bush whilst going sideways and it got written off Mazda 3 Tamura - Great car really comfy and it looks amazing also not many around but it was a petrol and i was starting to do 2k miles a month so sold it to my mum who crashed her corsa (can you sense the bad luck with corsa's in my family) and she still owns it and has kept it looking mint which is odd as she normally couldnt care about cars. E46 320cd Msport - Current daily driver only owned it for just over a year and is probs the most unreliable car I have owned but it was a cheap car and a project car for me to mod and learn on but despite all its cost me i wouldn't swap it. So far its had new subframe (warrenty covered), diff cradle, water pump, egr stat, 2 main stats, upgraded msd intercooler, rear disks and pads, handbrake cable, poly bushed all round, 4 new tyres, full respray, retro fitted the original nav unit, fitted the iPhone 5s cradle as i had factory bluetooth and acid dipped the alloys so they would hold air. Still to do, Structural foam from Redish to make sure the subframe does go again, Koni FSD's as my shocks dont shock, decat, remap and then its done. Between the house and the car who both want some lovin its taking its time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
