I've usually bought something that has an interesting engine, and produces a good sound. So, Rover V8, Opel Monza (straight six), Audi 90 (straight 5), Alfasud (flat 4), Granada (V6), and a few 4 cylinders cars, Montego Turbo and Escort Mk2 (with a 2.0 Pinto conversion!). So I don't think I've had a particular fondness for any make, they all have their good and bad points.
I've never really been very sensible with my choice of car (probably why I'm still skint!), and I suppose buying an Alfasud as my first car sums it up really. And if I think about it, Alfa Romeo would probably be one of my favourite brands (although I'm too scared to own one now!). Some of their current efforts (Brera, 159), are just stunning. Now if they could mate that body shape with German or Japanese reliability we would be getting nearer perfection. But then, of course, they would lose their soul...
