    Best all rounder I have driven, and own, Not that fast, but ticks all the right boxes for me, BMW E39 3.0 Touring, Diesel, slightly chipped, 5 speed, with full lux pack, Comfy, practical, [sling the dog in the back without too much of a problem] and averages nearly 40mpg, and will tow a house without noticing.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    I've never owned any really fast cars nor do I know anyone with one. The best 3 cars I've driven are a 2wd and 4wd Sierra and a Scooby all belonging to mates. All fast cars but non put a smile on face like my Mk1 Escort.
    Of all the things I've lost, its my mind I miss the most.

    the most rewarding car i`ve driven was an E30 M3

    just a standard one,and once i`d got past the LHD of it all,i feckin loved it


    also my old bosses 3dr cos....had a posh wedding one night(obviously someone the other half knew!!) and i had the cos for the weekend...i was working that weekend so i drove and just the look on all the fancy suited ponces faces when i rolled onto the car park amoungst the bentleys and rollers was priceless!




    and me escort(when it was a driver)

    My old 16V Integrale. Totally standard except for a different chip, and the front suspension reset so the front tyres lasted more than 3,000 miles. Had it from new to rust - which surprisingly for an Italian car took over 12 years. Just found out that it's been Dave Roberts'd and all it needs is the interior retrimming. Well, it took 4 years but you get the idea

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    Prob the most expensive car ive ever driven is my bosses 996 Carrera 4S, very fast and the grip out of corners is awesome but a scooby is similar.
    The fastest car ive driven was my old 205gti 1.9 Turbo Technics, closely followed by other 205mi16!
    But my award for best allrounder is a Honda Integra Type r, very underated machine with top top handling brakes grip feel and power delivery, all for about 5 grand!

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    I worked as a collection and delivery driver for BMW at the age of 19 when the e46 M3 came out, I wasnt meant to drive anything over 2.5 litres but my boss was pretty laid back so let me drive anything and everything so learning to drive sideways in M3's and M5's at the expense of other people's tyres was a good laugh!

    Fastest car I've driven was an RUF 911 turbo (996), over 500 bhp but so easy to drive at speed, but it did get boring after having it for a few days as it had no real character.

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x4yNpOFHwRY...</param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x4yNpOFHwRY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Borrowed a friends F430 a few times and as a driving experience it's simply awesome, if the top speed was 70 mph you wouldnt care simply for the noise the thing makes.

    But I'd take a mk1 or 2 any day of the week

    Ford Puma.

    Does everything right and never ever fails to make me smile, and I've driven some more prestige and expensive vehicles in the past but the little puma does it for me.

    Never driven a really fast car... driven impreza std's and the like but nothing special... My "new" e220 coupe is pretty cool to drive in the sun with the pilarless windows handles amazingly for a big car.

    Nothing beats the feeling of taking roundabouts sideways in my escort though... and the looks on the faces of the local chavs

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    have driven many cars over the years from cheap to dear
    360 moderner was the latest car about 5 years ago when i worked at a ferrari garage 355,testas,boxer,dino,308.Maserati but the most fun must be the old ones, 360 355 are boring to drive after you have been up the road in them ,its all to new ,
    but my escort gives the biggest smile of all and would beat most of them to a 100mph anyway
    but i must say my new evo does it as well grips like f--k and goes well and you can dive it to church on sunday

    My 330d msport touring, does everything, quickly & comfortably. The best all round car ever (for me). Though a really quick fiat 131 fitted powered by trick V6 with slicks on round the North circular in 1989 was the biggest eye opener (and very illegal).

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    Had this in for a MOT a few weeks ago - owned by a young lady driver. Had to take it for a spin round the chippie at lunchtime. Went like a fooking rocket but considering it was its first MOT and it only had anout 25,000 miles on the clock, down the backstreets with speed bumps, it had more rattles than my MK1 escort! Oh, and when I parked it up I kerbed both the n/s wheels so I parked that side against the wall and was out when she picked it up. So far I've got away with it.

    Now i know its gonna sound silly compared to the supercars etc mentioned but i test drove a mondeo ST TDCI yesterday and was well impressed, enough seemed to have a wall of torque and pulled really well and popping it into 6th was happy to laze along at 60.......so much so im thinking of handing over the keys to the astra in exchange for it(oh and its cheaper to insure)

    2007 S320 CDI merc

    Not very fast, handles well for its size and technology ridden

    I gave a guy a shock on the oban road once. he could not believe that this barge could keep up with his chipped alfa brera coupe thing. then he was even more gobsmacked when 4 of my mates came out it with enough gear for a week!

    Self stopping at lights, radar cruise control, 7 forward gears, 2 reverse gears, 560nm torque and brakes that rival any race car.

    not the fastest, best looking or mine for that matter but its bloody brilliant



    my 120,000 320 cdi merc is the best ive owned. another indestructable all rounder with self levelling suspension, 7 seats, 33mpg and suprisinglyvery good off road with its electric diff. its also been used as an HGV

    Driven quite a few interesting cars but by far it has to be the Lotus Carlton simply because it was a beast and scared the shit out of me.

    Re: Best car you've ever driven!

    I can't compete with the supercars on here, but I love my recently purchased Caterham HPC.

    I did 750 top-down miles the first week of August despite the weather.

    It's pretty quick (XE on 45s - 180 hp, 590kg), stunning round the bends and EVERYBODY seems to love it - I've have great comments/shouts from granddads to toddlers. People fall over themselves to let you out of side roads - it's a real pleasure.

    My 4 year old and 18 month old boys absolutely love going out for a drive with me
