Favourite grey imports - mini gullwing Autozam, Mitsubishi army Jeep, stealth Toyota Will VS, Toyota BB Open Deck Aero. I guess the most popular grey imports are MPV's but a shout also please for the Toyota Sera - 250 in the UK. Read more
will only go up in value now, but I have never liked them.

My first toy car was a dinky VW Bettle, next was a Triumph TR4 Triang pedal car which I still have. My first real car was a 1963 Austin A40 in which I passed my test. Followed one week later with a 73 Marina 1.3 Coupe, then a 73 Triumph Dolomite 1859 HL which got written on within a week when someone drove in the side of it. It was replaced by a Vauxhall Victor 2,3 Estate and a Fiat 128 3P Berlinetta. Sold both those and bought my 1st of many XJ6 Jags, all this by the age of 18, after that it become a blur. At present I run a 3.2 X300 Jag, a 2.2 Diesel Saab Estate and a Lexus IS 200 sportcross. I do have a few more but not sure what I'll be putting on the road next. Read more

I still love my 257,000 mile 1998 v70r which is basically a renamed 850
I love the awd but wish it had a stick.
No engine work, transmission work and the oem turbo. Now that's reliability

The Chrysler K car (Plymouth Aries / Dodge Reliant) should be on this list. Whilst pedestrian and boxy under Lee Iacocca it saved Chrysler's bacon in the late 1970's / early 1980's. I believe it was also the 1st N. American "budget" car with FWD. It spawned a whole series of other badge engineered vehicles, including the original Chrysler minivan.

Hi.
One of my favourites is missing from the list.The Honda DC5, 2001 to 2006 powered by the 2ltr Vtec engine.
Its a great reliable drivers car with track and safe fast road in mind. The two models, pre facelift and facelift have slight differences mainly front end and rear tail lights.
The facelift road springs are apparently modified although I doubt they perform any better than the earlier car.
I have a 2004 pre facelift in Arctic Blue Pearl and in standard form and I'm so satisfied with it that I cannot see what I would replace it with, without having to spend a lot of cash.
Regards.
