What Cars Do You Drive?

[kapitan]

talking about accidents... this happened to a fellow forummer in the KIA Forte forum... haiz... ouched...

[phaleesy]

Women are generally more careless than men, on driving, we know that.

Please kindly explain to me why car insurance premiums for the ladies are significantly cheaper?

S**t happens, Nick. That's life. Women are generally more careless than men, on driving, we know that. But the actual fact is that anyone can be careless (truck or taxi drivers included for example).

At least was she pretty? [though I understand this may be the least you care about now...]

Agreed. Not one bit pretty.

Just irks me that the lady made no attempt to stop at the stop-line and just shot out.

OUCH! Nick C
I guess probably not given the 4x in his post.

Oh dear. Your brand new Golf TSI? Ouch!

Yeah. Actually, it's superficial damage to a non Petrol Head. To me, the bumper is 101% dented and off alignment by 20mm.

Dang. No offence to the ladies on SQT but my car got clipped by a _______ lady driver this morning. There goes the front bumper. Some idiots really should be banned from driving.

Can't be too ambitious when we can't handle the sticks.

Safety features for me since I seem to be rather accident prone.

speed IS a safety feature

This was once on my Japanese car lust list


Its now on my owned list
Handles like a dream, you can overtake 99.9% of all cars in corners. My only gripe: A new set of tires after every 10,000km.
But when you shift up @ 8,400rpm with a straight-thru exhaust, heavenly.....

0-60 under 6 seconds!

Well, I am not as ambitious as many here and go primarily for looks and comfort.

Well, I am not as ambitious as many here and go primarily for looks and comfort. I am aiming for a convertible next - either the new Lexus IS250C (with Mark Levinson sound systems ) or the BMW 320d if the convertible version ever makes it down here. Hopefully the ride quality in the Bimmer 3 convertible is better than the sedan, as I find the ride on the sedans a little too firm (but in 1 series form it's not too bad). I probably won't get another car for a good 2-3 years but nothing wrong with some forward planning.

well, I'd say my lust list would include the Mazda RX-8. Simply because it features interesting technology and cool doors
