Okay guys, what has been your favourite car that you've owned in your time driving. So far out of all the cars i've had, i'd say my 106GTI was my favourite as it was so much fun to drive.
I love the Cupra, but that 106 was a great summer car. What's been your favourite car you've owned and why?

I think it was about 80 on the back and 70 on the front. was a very harsh ride, was so much fun for a 17 year old who hadn't passed their test!!!! my mum used to love driving it!!!!! Shame the engine didn't like me!!!

well that is what i thought, the 1.6 is the same as the vtr being 90bhp, the 1.4 was 105bhp but there was a thread a while ago and everyone said i was wrong and the 1.4 had 90bhp and the 1.6 had 1.5 which is bollox!!!!! 1.4 had a fairly lairy cam as std aswell according to pugperformance.
