So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

[drmikki]

I have a MY07 Citroen C2 VTR (named Claude; being French he has a bit of personality...). Sadly not for sale in Australia anymore, which is a shame, its a great little car - kind of like a normal car but half the length - like someone chopped the last 50cm off a C3- so can park anywhere, has a tailgate and hatch so can fit almost anything (42"LCD tv when moving house, IKEA flatpacks) but pretty zippy. Also, flappy paddle gearbox and tiptronic (although I wouldn't use those as a selling point...).

Looking at getting one of the newer DS3s, but sitting on the fence til Citroen decide for sure that they aren't bringing the DS3 Racing to Australia since they say no and then increase production in Europe and reconsider. (Also, planning travel using DS3R money). Maybe I will have to get one in the UK and then ship it? Good value with the pound at the moment...

I believe that it's actually called a GTD if it's a diesel

 

[adl73x]

I don't.

No point owning a car if I'm always going to be somewhere it isn't.

Besides, one of great challenges in life is bending the world's public transport systems to my will

Currently have a 2006 model (2007 Purchase) VW DTI Comfortline, have been looking at the Passat CC as a replacement as i am finding it a bit small.

Previously i had 2 modified Holden VX SS V8's that were a lot of fun

Looking forward to upgrading to a convertible sometime this year. Now that I know what to look for in a car, car shopping seems less intimidating and actually fun.

i love car shopping more than almost anything else...

all reports say go the sportage over the IX35... same fundamentals but better execution...

Looks like I'm winning coughpiest car so far! Which is sad, she's a goodun.

I'd wait for the new Civic which is being refreshed for the 2012 model year and should be on sale in Oz sometime late this year.

Looks so cute!

Ha the comments are all quite negative But I do like the looks of it (though I also love the new impreza which most people hated).

Want to buy mine for me then

This is sad. But at the age of 30 I don't have my license to drive.
I almost see driving as pointless - but then my partner has one .
