FormulaFox is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
As of today, metallic blue 2017 Chevrolet Cruze. My first new car - two model years old, but never sold, never rented, just test driven. Steal of a deal with the 2019s beginning to hit the dealerships(dealership owner said the first batch of 2019s arrives next week).


I was tempted by the 2016 Camaro V6, but I needed something I wouldn't feel bad about using up until it's dead.

Congrats on your first new car, FF! It doesn't happen often and is a great feeling. That's a very underrated car you have there too. Enjoy!

Neither. Its the three door hatch. I passed up on the coupe as I felt the hatch actually looks better - and although I originally wanted 5 doors, the lines of the 3 door are actually better. I really wanted a 135i or 140i but that was veto'd by my better half! - pretty happy with it and I got to take it to Le Mans this year too

Oops I didn't know that was a thing. In my defense and as you would expect, we didn't get either hatch.

Long shot... anyone on here any experience of running the J series Vauxhall/ Opel Astra (that's the model before the current one with the 3 door GTC based on it)?

Thinking of getting one... mid life crisis, just under 280bhp on the GTC VXR/ OPC and the last few new 'uns are going cheap...

I have not, but I had a friend who owned one. They are good cars if you buy an unmodded version. There are many poorly done aftermarket mods added by previous owners on the cheap. He had many many issues with those. The stock car however, was fine.

I've had a 2013 Citroen DS5 Hybrid for about 1,5 months and I'm very dissatisfied to it. So I'm going to trade it in sooner or later.

I drive a fairly regular car: a blue Ford Mondeo (2004) that I bought secondhand in 2007 (40.000km) and that now has done 265.000 kms.
It's a diesel, which means I can't enter some of the Low Emission Zones over here (Antwerpen, Gent?, Brussels?).

I am currently looking for a new job. In IT it isn't that uncommon to get a company car, so I would like to keep my Mondeo running until there's a bit of certainty: I need a car, but I don't need 2.

Just added a "new" vehicle to the fleet. My grandma sold me her 1992 Honda Accord coupe that has 30,000 miles on it. It is fun to drive as it is small, low to the ground and relatively light. I still need to get it registered in my state so there is currently little driving to be done till that gets done. She kept it in great condition and has 2 oil changes per year regardless of the mileage.

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!

I'm about to get rid of my exceedingly rusty but oh-so-much-fun 2006 Mazda MX-5 2.0.

I'm going to get... Surprise! a 2014 Mazda MX-5 2.0 to replace it. And the first thing I'm doing is taking it to my local MX-5 specialist (who races the things too) and getting it treated with Waxoyl or similar from front to back underneath, and getting all the cavities wax filled so they don't hold water like my existing one has.

Now I just have to wait for the time it'll take to get all the money lined up in one place!

In 2004 I got a new job and a Subaru Legacy estate, which proved a superb family and race/tow car . . . when I changed jobs and lost the car I bought my own one . . . 11 years later I've sold it in perfect working order for 25% of its purchase price and I've just taken delivery of another one with 103k less miles on the clock (70k) . . . . A superb all rounder and a bargain to boot.

Ooh, a road legal little red monster! ( PS best get your rego renewal and insurance sorted )

Mine will (when I get it) be a standard 160hp (so 120kW) with factory Bilstein suspension and no mods.

By the time I finish with it... who knows?

How deep are your pockets? Sadly I think mine are coming up dry now but then again this thing is probably as fast as this old bugger is capable of managing, any more and disaster looms!
