Merc Maniac
1982 Ford Sierra L
+ My first car!
- It was in crappy condition. Front suspension froze and there was absolutely no suspension at below-0 degrees.
1992 Mazda 626 2.2i SVX
+ Nice punchy engine
- Rusty, noisy and the fuel consumption was pretty bad for a 4-cylinder engine
1990 Mercedes-Benz 200 D
+ Great cruiser, relatively good condition (500 000 km on the clock, and after me my father drove it for 50 000 km more before selling it)
- Rust.
1994 Mercedes-Benz C 220 Elegance
+ Felt quite modern at the time
- It was crashed and repaired quite poorly before my time. That combined with the w202 rusting issue did result quite massive rusting, and I sold the car for that reason alone.
1997 Honda Prelude
+ Sporty, surprisingly roomy
- Noisiest car I've ever had. Ruined the whole car IMO.
1996 Mercedes-Benz E 300 D Classic
+ Nice to drive. I bought it with 295 000 km on the clock, drove for couple of months and sold it to my father, who has done now over 110 000 km with no technical issues. He still has this.
- Rust
1997 Ford Scorpio
+++ The LOOKS
- I've used too much money on this pile. Never going to sell this.
1999 Volvo V70 2.5 TDi
+ Felt pretty luxorious with full leather and other equipments.
- Had a lot of small faults, every time I fixed something, something else broke.
1994 Ford Escort 1.8i
+ Punchy engine for a car this small
- RUST
1999 Fiat Marea 1.6 Weekend
+ Great value for money
- Cannot really think of anything, worked like a charm
2005 Renault Laguna 2.0 Break
+ Supercomfortable
- Broke the cambelt and caused more repair bills in the last 3 months of ownership, than what I got from it at trade-in
1990 Buick LeSabre
+ 'Murica
- Pretty neglected example, the result of which I've now fixed quite a lot. And used way too much money for a car worth as little as this.
2003 Ford Mondeo 1.8 Ghia STW
+ Great to drive
- Too small engine
Maybe that's all I've had so far in purchasing order... After reading these points I've just made, the Fiat is actually the best car I've had
