hard question.. I'm a bit of a petrol head and best depends on for what.

My supercharged clio phase 1 172 was awesome little car. I had lots of fun on and off the track... same with my metro with a lotus engine.

Best for me though I think has to go to either the 156 v6 alfa.. or my current alfa spider. I adore them and love how they sound, drive and just make me happy...

Although ask my kids and they would say it was the type r scooby... just for rarity, speed, noise and smile factor... but I stand by my best cars being one of the alfas

An old Land Rover Defender. At the same time I had a 170mph motorbike so didn’t need it to be fast, but it was fun to drive and had real integrity - nothing on there except what was absolutely necessary.

The kids loved it as it was an 11 seater so taking friends anywhere was easy.

Tough question....how do we define "best"...?

Fastest was a chevrolet camaro

Most fun to drive was a mini 1275

Most reliable was a rover 620

Most luxurious was a jaguar xj6

Cheapest to run was a hyundai i20

The best all round car i ever owned, (taking all the above into account) would have to be a vauxhall senator 3 litre 24valve.....it was classy

I'm with you on that, I've had loads of cars I've really enjoyed but only two really stirred my soul. One was a 98 Mini Cooper Sportspack which was my first company car and I loved it.

The other was my Alfa GTV V6 which just made me feel great while driving it.

I rarely feel that way about anh cars now, certain bikes still do it though

I could list out a variety of different cars I've had and what they were best at.

I'd struggle however to determine my all time favourite.

From a purely practical and longest period of ownership/most miles and smiles I suppose it would actually have to have been my BMW 530D estate. Out of all the cars I've ever owned it's the one car I'd have again without hesitation.

Pfff - I'm sure most people would think that 600 bhp monster cars and proper off road mini monster trucks made for better conversation - and they'd be right!

Try owning the fucking things and you'll see the reality is a little different. Yes individually they bring alot of joy. But they also bring a huge amount of cost and maintenance!

There is a lot to be said for a sleeper that lasts you 7 years and 250k miles, does 145 mph all day long and still does 40 mpg whilst being able to fit anything you want either inside it, on top of it or dragged behind it! Also very funny burning boy racers off in it! Didn't say it was stock did I?

currently own three. The best of which is off the road. A Mazda Bongo. More of a van but counts as a car where it matters. easily the most useful and versatile vehicle I have ever owned.

It ran cheaply (note past tense)on cooking oil and had loads of diesel torque. Unfortunately getting too old to keep roadworthy but I could end up regretting that belief.

Moved sideways to a Honda Stepwgn which is also nice and quirky and a lot quieter but takes up more road space versus interior space. ask me in a year how I got on. Still better than any European equivalent.

My faithful runabout is a Suzuki Ignis 1.3 3 door hatchback. rear folds completely flat and there is no cam belt. Lovely friend but not competitive in the Ruhr defending searchlight environment.

Had classics like 'Woody' Morris Traveller which did me well in their time. But nothing modern appeals to me at all, regardless of availability.

No. I'm referring to the ludicrously over powerful lighting on modern cars in the urban environment which has been aided and abetted by the reduction of overhead street lighting to a mere joke.

Unless you are sitting high up and the roads are level you end up with an eyeful of HID headlight beams which don't even reduce in power when dipped.

They call it progress!
