Ah Holdens, I drove a 70's Kingswood round South NZ. I liked the look of those Berliners, - have never seen a Holden in Britain.

Presently on a 2 Litre Honda, a real old man's car, it's great; unusual in that it is very very very ordinary.

1990 camry sedan. she shows her age in the mechanicals and interior acoustics, but the appearance both inside and out has been maintained to a greater degree than most of the other camrys of this vintage that i've encountered.

"pwr" acceleration and no overdrive is the only way to get some real power out of her.

My current car is a 2008 Fiat Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet, a great car, really cheap to run, Averages around 55mpg.

Trying to restrain myself from buying any more cars because I'm saving up to move out. (Although I did see a couple of Alfa's that I was rather tempted by)

i drive an Australian designed "holden statesman" at the moment.

it is more like a "large sedan:, but i chose "sedan" in the poll.

it has a 5.7 litre V8 series 4 engine, and it very powerful in my opinion.

accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.1 seconds

top speed 175 MPH.

very comfortable and smooth and capable.

I don't drive so I don't care about cars at all. I find the whole idea of driving terrifying.

I'm kind of looking forwards to self-driving cars, but don't know if I would put my trust and safety in one.

So I guess it's what you'd call a "sleeper", doesn't look like much at first glance but really goes when you put your foot down.

A 1994 Mazda 323 Astina. It's really old and I've been driving it for 18 years. Mechanic says it's in better condition than many cars half its age. Paint on the roof is patchy due being parked out in the Aussie sun for two years and there's a dent in the front bumper put there by me.

Next car I would like is a new Suzuki Vitara. Have to get a job first.

Man I never had my own car. I actually have the money right now but am holding out on the purchase till I completely finish my studies at uni and get a more stable AKA full time income

From my point of view a car is something to get you from point A to point B, while being reliable and fuel efficient.

Couldn't care less about extravagant cosmetics or super unnecessary gadgets (flipping doors/headlights, open roof, wing etc)

Although I do think that old 90s Mazda (forgot model name) with flipping headlights looked super cool. a s**t car tho but eye candy :))

Yeah, just googled it, that's the one. The red one.

Saw a few of those on the road. Most are pretty battered because owners tend to abuse em.

Nice car Kip.

yes that is a blasted nice car mr balhato.

is it a 4.3 V8?

here is a clip of trying to follow a worked up earlier model car in my model statesman , but shows the power.
the other car is clearly superior, but is is worked up to the hilt.

this is not me driving.

I do care somewhat about cars, but don’t expect to be ever able to afford my own or to be allowed to drive again, so they’re far from my top priority. And focusing on sports cars would be especially impractical, so there’s no option for me in the poll.
