Mine was and Audi A8 4.2 - will walk all over the 964 from 90 upto 130 but it had to go..... all my points I got with this car - since the 964 (past 2 years) I have no more points as it is much more involving (touch wood)

before that various VW's

To be exact, the Civic was owned by me, and the Alfas were/are owned by the lease company

The Civic was very cost-effective to run, and huge fun to drive. No power steering, wide tyres, light weight, fantastic gearbox, ... I loved that car.

The Alfas, being lease cars, were more expensive (as lease cars tend to be), but I made sure to get the most out of my monthly leasing costs
The last service of the 147 included
- new wishbones up front
- new stabiliser bar (sway bar for the 'mericuns here ) front
- new silencer blocks rear
and some other assorted mechanical thingies

Bottom line, the Civic cost me about as much as the 146 per month. The 156 was obviously more expensive, but it's in a completely different class. The 147 is only slightly more expensive than the Civic, mainly due to driving loads of non-work kilometers. (I don't pay extra for private use).

Cheers,

JW

Great idea!!!
From oldest to most recent:
1988 Vauxhall Cavalier - with back seats that folded flat... perfect at 18 years old!!!!
1889 Renault 12 tl estate - cost £75 and never had to spend a penny on it... maybe i should have kept it??!!??!!
1990 Ford Cortina - everyone HAS to have owned a Ford at some point..
1992 Austin Montego - the least said about the Britsh Steel this was made of the better!
1993 Triumph Spitfire - i didn't learn my lesson about rusty british steel quickly enough.
1994 Peugeot 309 - i know... it's french...
1995 Peugeot 406 - another frenchie, but not too bad...
1997 Audi A4 - my first taste of German build quality
2002 - 2004 BMW Z3 2.8 - though it was quick, until i bought the 964!!!!
1996 - 2004 Porsche 912 - great fun car, just needed more power, kept me busy for years!!!
2002 - 2004 BMW 320d - VERY cheap to run and great build quality
2004 - Porsche 964 c2 cabrio - makes me smile LOADS!!!!!!!!!!!!

have fun...
