My current car is a 1998 Chrysler Concorde LXi



I've also had a 1994 Dodge Intrepid and 2003 Dodge Intrepid SE.

I plan to get a Saturn Aura(similar to Opel Vectra) sometime soon.

The car I'm driving is a Peugeot 307 SW 2.0 HDi which, as Verso will surely agree upon, is one of the best looking cars of its segment ever to be made



Next year I'm planning to buy also a Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi, similiar to this one:

I actually thought of buying a Peugeot 307. I've had that car once on loan from my garage while my Peugeot 306 was in maintenance. I also had that car as my driving lesson car. I appreciate any car where you can sit straight up, because I want to drive long hours and have a good overview.

I drive a 2006 Acura CSX 2.0L 155 hp (automatic with paddle shifters), which I bought just a few months ago after graduating from university. It is a Canadian-only version of the Honda Civic, although its exterior design is used by the Civic outside of North America.

Before that, I drove my parents' 1998 Nissan Sentra.

But do You know the 307 is known for beeing one of the least reliable compact cars?

OK, it's time to show sth. really cheap. All the following cars were made in Poland. Years ago

Fromally I own two cars, the first is mine, the other is actually my Mom's, but I own it for insurance reasons.

My 1998 Daewoo Lanos 1.5 S (+ LPG conversion). Bought in 4 yrs. ago from my friend, the first owner, for less than 1,5k euros. For all these 4+8 years the car proved to be reliable and virtually bulletproof. It's also very cheap to run and insure. I miss for some features, especially aircon, so I'd like to buy sth. else, but it doesn't make sense to sell it for just a handfull of cash.






My Mom's car, fromally mine and actually I drive it wuite frequently, since it's great in city use. Another one very cheap to run and buy - bought it in 2006 for 1400 euros, it's now worth... 1400 euros The 2001 Fiat Seicento 1.1:





And now sth. special, not to be found somewhere out of Poland. My Father is a great fan of these cars, that's his 5th one. The FSO Polonez, the one is 1999 Caro Plus model (additional LPG conv.). Extremely good value for money - the car is worth aprox. 600 euros, which is my Father's 1 month net salary, and despite that it's reliable. It's not modern, fast or very comfy, but it's fair all-around car and I could take it for a ride to Spain any day... Yep, the fat guy on the left is me, before I"ve lost some weight (15 kilos and counting):



There're many cars I drove from time to time, but those three are definitely the most frequent ones.

Because, in North America, it's getting pretty rare to be able to buy a new vehicle with a manual transmission. Automatics dominate the market now. Even in larger commercial vehicles, INCLUDING articulated trucks...

Which I find a bit odd, given that Automatics aren't all that rare there from what I understand.

That is actually increasingly common in Europe as well.
