What Cars Do You Drive?

[KeithMEL]

Awaiting delivery of my shiny new 2009 BMW 118i - my first car so I'm v excited!

I also considered the VW Golf, however BMW Melbourne had a sale which made the price differential rather negligible plus they also threw in the exec package (leather seats, bluetooth, rear parking sensors). Finally, the Audi A3 as Audi had a similar sale, but they just seemed a little dull.

Other tempting options were the Alfa Romeos (whatever the compact car model is) and Fiat Punto based on looks alone - soooo sexy! But apparently they have a shoddy reliability history and the resale value is terrible; after all FIAT is meant to stand for "Fix It Again, Tony!" Happy to be corrected on this - as I really want something like the Alfa 159 as my next car!

Looks different from Honda Accords in Singapore N_Architect.

Use to drive one. Very reliable car..

kapitan, Korean cars are getting more and more attractive.

( More than I can say for the new Merc E class. Urghh! )

Was admiring your Kia Forte when I sent wife's Mitsubishi in for service at Cycle & Carriage.

Honda Accord 2.0L Automatic, will be replaced summer '10 with a new car (lease expires in 10 months). Currently 42k km on the clock. Will switch to winter tire set (mandatory here after Nov 1 each year) soon. First time I had a Japanese car, this one is a very nice car indeed - still not used to the 'less solid' feeling though (compared to German cars).
