Peugeot 205 look
Was just about to buy a Renault Mégane, but found out I'd won a Rover City at work, but sold that instantly because it was a horrible car.
Bought a Peugeot 306gti6 out of the sale money.
Then a nissan 300zx, this broke a lot.
Then a other nissan 300zx, that was a silly idea!
Skoda fabia 1.2
Saab 93 2.0 petrol turbo, underpowered but smooth to drive.

15 I can remember off the top of my head. Mostly 1980-1990s warm/hot hatch stuff.

Some 1960s classic stuff thrown in.

And more recently some 2017-2020 warm/hot hatch stuff.

Plus had a 10ish year period of company cars during which I had 3-4 cars a year. Not owned though so don’t strictly count.

Notable mentions: (modified/performance)

Citroen AX GT
Golf GTI MK1
Corrado G60 Supercharged
Ford S-Max 2.5T

Always wanted a Corrado G60. Still look at them on eBay now.

Had a left hand drive Golf G60 for a couple of years. Interesting driving a lefty on the UK roads.

Funnily enough, I was looking at all my previous cars the other night and seeing what ones were still on the road.

Been driving 23 years, and seem to have had 22 cars... ouch. Some times a had a few, sometimes I had one a while. The m140i was my longest kept by far, and I can see me doing similar with the 330i.
