Citroen XM in the early 90s, looked insanely futuristic like a spaceship on wheels. It had air suspension that could be raised and lowered, self levelling and adjusting for a smooth ride or firmed up for performance and responded to steering going through corners... And one of the first cars to have a CD entertainment system in. My dad had one as a company car before a Volvo 850 sports saloon and wow did that move

A sad end to a much loved car. Know I shouldn't have give it her.

"Golf GTI Mk1. Had a go in one later in life and it was every bit as fun as I imagined.

Had a mark 1 convertible for 10 years, I loved that car!

Lucky lady. I bet the feeling of driving with the top down was immense!

"The James Bond one that turned into a submarine

JPDV (see above) would ask if you really needed a car with submarine capabilities.

Ofcourse it’s so unnecessary.. people who drive SUVs with 5 seats and pollute the environment really get on my tits "

A Quattro is a normal sized hatchback, like a Mondeo, not an SUV..

FFS the title of this thread is 'Fave car when growing up' - nearly every car quoted on here would be considered either a gas guzzler or a polluter now.

"Nice to see the Capri get a mention. Even today, some of the younger guys at work are interested in my past ownership. Mine was the 'Special' edition. The sound from those twin exhausts!"

I had a brooklands 280 and a 3.2 savage if you remember them. I also had a 1966 cortina. 1 owner from new. I dragged it out of the garage it had been in for 40 odd years. Wheels seized and into daylight. Round the 2 head lights crome rims it had a circle of rust that was it. 2 hour after I got it home I had it running. Some payday that was

I don't know much about cars but my dad went through 3 Mitsibushi Evos when I was younger. Everyone at school thought we were so cool, which we are.
