2007 VW Passat wagon 3.6
2006 Infiniti M45

That's it for now, there are many others, some good, some not so good, and some I just forgot!

1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Eurosport Coupe - Awesome car. Very sporty. The engine /exhaust made a sweet sound. I lurved it!!! Amazing seat/driving position.
Maintenence wise it sucked. Clutch wire snapped. AC stopped working multiple times. It would stall if you turned with the clutch in (very annoying - dangerous). Burned the clutch too easily. Swapped it at least 3 times in a 6 year period.

1992 Ford Tempo - Piece of s***. Awful in every aspect. Altho great to do e-break 180's.

2000 Honda Civic - Another piece of s***. Underpowered. Felt like it had 50 horsepower. Dropped to 10 horsepower with the AC on. Worst brakes ever. Ride was comfy tho.

2002 VW Jetta - Nice car. Comfy ride. Good suspension and the engine was nice for NA 4 cyl 2.0. it was my down payment for the MS3.

2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3 Grand Touring - Awesome power. Great handling. Worst "build" quality I've ever seen in a car. Everything rattles and squeeks after a few days of taking it out of the stealership. Most uncomfortable car I've ever owned. Pedals/wheel have the worst placement

Sorry to go off topic here, but you really got rid if the 08 M3 for this???

 

[kaganb]

1988 Toyota Camry Station Wagon (hand me down from my sister when I got my license)

1997 Acura Integra GS-R (Toyota went splat)

2000 Acura Integra GS-R (Lease was up on first one)

2009 Mazdaspeed 3 GT (GS-R had a cracked exhaust manifold, rusted cat, needed brakes and new tires, total coming to about $3500. Was also on original clutch at 140,000 miles so a new clutch was coming soon which was quoted at $1800 by Acura. Wasn't about to spend $4k+ on a 9 year old car worth $7000.)

Yes unfortunately. My business has suffered somewhat with the economic downturn, so I figured I would be wise and get rid of the BMW and get something cheaper and still have some fun. MS3 does it for me!

My wife's rides were:

2008 Mazda CX-9
2006 Mazda 5
2005 MDX
2003 MDX
2002 Windstar(screwy)

current car is: 2008 Subaru Forester.

I'm done with expensive cars........ for now(spin)

oh man, sorry to hear that, but in terms of a fun, cheap car, it can't really be beat... I do however, want an E92 M3 sooo bad. That and an E39 M5 are my dream cars

and to keep on topic, my MS3 is my first car, I did however drive my mom's 2001 BMW X5 3.0i for a few months before I got my Mazda...
