Whats the best car you've driven

[obi_waynne]

Of all the cars you have ever been able to drive which one was the best and why?

Would you get this car as a daily runaround or just keep it for special occassions?

Being young and poor there are no supercars on the list, but i recently test drove a second hand alfa 147 (1.6 lusso), it was the first car that ive driven that come stock with over 100bhp, and it handled brilliantly. properly considering it for my next car looks great too ( it was a faclift model, post 2004).

I know its probably a bit small and bad compared to everyone elses best drives, but i thought id just chip-in.

I've drove alsorts but the best handling and easiest to live with car has to be my Focus. But only because I had it brand new and all the other cars I have driven have been a few years old. I never thought there would be much difference but since having the Focus everything else I drive feels like a shed.

The best "all round" car I have driven so far, is the car I've recently bought - Passat R36. That said, the Torsen 4wd system in the W8 and KW Coilovers mean it runs rings around the R36 in terms of sheer chuck-ability. Hard to choose.

Other than these two, all the other cars I've driven have been somewhat dull in comparison - which I think is pretty cool. My favourite two cars are mine, but then again - I suspect alot of people would say that. Why would you buy something that was worse than your last car..?

I used to drive alsorts when I worked in a garage. Yeah alot of them was faster than my Focus but out of the lot it's the easiest best equipped and generally a better car than many. Rob will understand the feeling of driving a brand new car. Everything else to me seems rubbish in comparison.

and i posted the focus as the best all round car

Perhaps we need to redefine best.

The most expensive; the fastest; most comfortable; quietest?

Hard to know. As an all rounder and taking price point and market segment then Ford's Mondeo is a good starter.

But could I argue that it's superior to a Jaguar XK-R? No, but the Mondeo has more seats, more space, is cheaper to buy, cheaper to service etc.

Depends upon your needs, wants, whims and budget I suppose.

The most expensive; roll's cant think of the model
the fastest; mine or a scooby
most comfortable; roller /bentley
quietest? roller sliver shadow or lexus ls400

I've never driven a RR or a Bentley. Have been a passenger in one or two.

I'll put a flag in the ground here and say this, Lexus GS430 (2003 model).

Silent and swift, with superb roadholding despite the fact that a high end 5 series from the same era is more engaging to drive.

See my point? It depends upon you idea of best.

There's some I know well who rates the mid 1980s MG Metro Turbo as the best car he's driven. Yet he currently drives a Saab 9-3 TiD.

Perhaps we need to redefine best.

Just about yes as an all round car I can't fault it.

Got to be my current Octavia vRS. The only ponts it doesn't win is "most comfortable" - that would be my fathers 1.9 Octavia Laurin and Klement luxury model, and most expensive - TBH, I'm not sure what would win that, maybe the old 405 (as People Carriers and Minibuses aren't cars )

 

[HDi fun]

The Peugeot 405 revolutionised the way FWD saloons handled.

 

[doof]

The most expensive; A COMMODORE SS GROUP A

the fastest; A COMMODORE SS GROUP A -

most comfortable; SILVER SHADOW

quietest? VAUXHALL CALIBRE I BOUGHT AS A NON-RUNNER AND RE SOLD AS A NON RUNNER-BOY WAS SHE QUIET.

OVERALL- 1988 RX7 - JUST BAGS OF FUN TO DRIVE.
