Well, i just thought id try and satisfy a curiosity. I wanted to find out what peoples first/current cars are, any modifications and regional/country differences.
In britain, unless you have rich parents, a very good job or just insanely lucky, you start with a small engine and epically high insurance premiums.
My first car was a little Rover 25 1.4. I paid an exorbitant amount to insure it but it was great because i was on the road and free from public transport.
I currently have a Vauxhall Astra mk4 1.8 convertible (marketed elsewhere as Holden or Opel) and a Peugeot 306 1.9 diesel turbo as a winter motor. All have/had subtle modifications which made them mine

I had a blue Ford Fiesta 1.4 which I bought for £500 and it sucked. But it was better than what we called "the peasant wagon" aka the bus.
Then I bought a Peugeot 206 1.1 in black, which was lowered, had sub + amp, tinted windows, new 17inch wheels, good headunit, White neons in the footwells and under the car.
I now have a 2008 silver Vauxhall Astra 1.6 bog standard no need for mods.
My next car soon is gona be a Honda Civic 1.8 Type S in black. The reason I say this is because I financed my Astra and part of my deal was I get a new car at the end of payment, and that's about 5months away
As for driving cars iv had my 3 above, a Subaru Imprezza ( they are crap, if I could use a harsher word on here I would ) mini cooper, 207, megan scenic, corsa, polo.
Not an amazing car list but I'm only 21 and still going strong
my perfect car would be a Mitsubishi Evolution XII. I would LOVE one and I will have one, one day when my insurance won't fist me and cost about 10k -_-

Had a Renault Clio as a first car, then a Renault Clio 2.
Now, because business is good and cars are an important part of social status in Eastern Europe when you do business with Russians, I have a Volvo S80. It's nice and powerful
