What is your favourite car to drive? Surely it's a high powered sports car?
Here I am in a Porsche Cayman S, it's a super fun car as expected with great detail, looks and features. What's not to like? Well there's the price not just for buying but also the upkeep, fuel, insurance. Then there is also the worry of where do you park it without it getting vandalised or stolen. With so much power under the hood, you worry if you are going to smash it and yourself to pieces around the next corner. If I had plenty of cash / crypto then yes this would be one of my play cars.
look at my smiley face :)
Here is a recent everyday car of mine, a Mini Cooper
Two days after buying it, some jealous prick keyed a long scratch right outside my house. What a moron, I wish I could have caught whoever done that. The car is a really nice drive with lots of mod cons, the upkeep costs are not too much either, the parts are slightly expensive but I haven't had to replace a thing on it for years because of the good build quality.
Here is my old Hyundai Coupe, I have some great memories in this car, many a road trip. The only problem with it was the amount of fuel it burnt through, that may have been because I was always out in it and it was a fairly old engine. It had some cool features like an electric sun roof that angled down so the wind was blowing on top of you in the summer, and cruise control. I might get another in future....
Last and also least was my first ever car, running costs and parts were cheap and it got me from A to B. It also taught me how to drive sensibly and I wasn't going to be racing anyone at the lights in this bad boy, not that you should ever do that.
I've owned and driven lots of different cars, some I haven't mentioned on here. My preference is to own a car that is practical, affordable within my means, fun, full of features I will use, and looks. My favourite cars to drive are the Mini Cooper and Mercedes SLK (sorry don't have pics of that). If in the future I strike it rich, I will definately try out a some super cars :D
So what is your favourite car?

My first ever car was an old Triumph Spitfire MkIV I drove it everywhere with the top down - even with our Rottweiler pup in the back!
I've had a Toyota Supra for twelve years and I adore it. I have to sell it now though, I have a new toy...
VROOM!
Oh wow that's an awesome car! Can I borrow it for the weekend? The triumph is a classic, would love to test drive one.
Short answer on borrowing my car... no ;)
The Spitfire was old even then and when a double-decker decided it preferred my lane to his, despite me being at the side of him, it became exceptionally scary!
Yikes!
I don't think the Cayman will go down in history as a Porsche classic like the 911 did, but I've heard its a real fun ride! Beats the Honda Jazz I inherited from my grandpa! Ha ha!...reliable as hell though ;)
My hubby has one 'classic' in the garage...
Perhaps next year...
...and blasts the pants off the Cayman ;)
It's a '77 (registered '78) model and we've had it a loooong time. I don't know about the Cayman, but I do enjoy that car :)
I have a good friend who can respray it for you any colour, mates rates of course. You can always lend me the mustang as a thank you :)
You're determined to get your hands on my car aren't you? LOL :)
Never been in one, Honda are reliable. Haven't seen many on the road, but I guess when you look out for certain cars you see a lot of them
Not the Caymans or 911s of the road are the Hondas, but turn that key and they'll never fail you! I do look forward to more of your motoring articles if you do them (hint hint!) :))
The Cayman is actually a great all round car! You can't beat a small car like a Mini though for everyday driving around town.
Love the Mini, @opheliafu doesn't like driving it though :/
