kombolcha Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 1996 Chrysler Cirrus. It was nice. 2.5L Mitsubishi V6 good for 160hp. CD player, automatic transmission, power everything. It was a good car. It met it's end hitting a F-250 at about 40 mph. :cry: I walked away without a scratch but "Tug" (that was the first 3 letters of it's license plate) wasn't so lucky. that's what i got, except it was Dodge.. tranny went out at 127K, repaired it and then gave it to my cousin. we're going to do major service to the car since he's getting below 15MPG.

Homer Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Ouch only 15MPG? I'm getting about 26MPG from mine... Anyway I learnt in a VW Lupo 1.4 X reg as seen below And I hated it. The engine knocks a lot of the time, it sounds horrible and it looks like a small box on wheels. Wasn't comfy either. But it did handle alright. And now I drive my car, a '98 Rover 416i and I love it. Don't care what people say about Rovers, tis MY car and it is fine for me, performance is good, it's roomy, comfy, handles alright but it's not a sports car by any long shot. Oh, and it's British. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271203-your-first-car/page/11/#findComment-587633069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted June 29, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2006 2001 Jeep Cherokee with around 100,000 miles on it. It is my first car and the one I'm currently driving. Gas milage sucks but that is the same with all Jeeps. Its a great little car though, I love it!

cbosdell Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I just got my first car on Thursday and am currently fixing it up a bit before I drive it and tune it up to get better gas mileage. 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Pros: * Came with High Quality New Tires * Came with New Brakes * Came with a New Battery * Working A/C * Electric Windows and Doors * Great Gas Mileage Cons: * Needs to be painted - It's burgendy and the paint on the top is rusted off and its faded on the hood and trunk and its champaigne burgendy so I'm going to paint it silver. * Has a Windshield crack which needs to be fixed. * 244,000 Miles Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271203-your-first-car/page/11/#findComment-587687010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

naap51stang Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 first car I ever drove was a 1964 Ford Galaxie 2 door in 1975. "Graduated" to a 1969 Galaxie 500 XL sport in 1978. That was really "my" first car. Wish I had that car back. 390 4bbl, 22 gallon gas tank which cost 19 bucks to fill with gas back then LOL. Since 1985, I've driven mustangs. On my 4th one now. 99 which I bought new in 99, only 46,000 miles. Still smells new :) :alien: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271203-your-first-car/page/11/#findComment-587707574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeeekyyy Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 first car, still own: 96 strip-down 4 cylinder ranger with absolutely NO addons except poer steering and automatic transmission, which is actually a bad thing, imo. less power for heavy loads compared to a manual. it didnt even have a radio. it does now.

b10h4z4rd Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm still driving my first car, hopefully not for long. 1990 Dodge Daytona ES w/ V6. I will hit 160,000 miles here soon. Trying to sell it so I can get a mid-90's V6 Mustang. Yeah I know, V6, but it would be cheaper for insurance and gets better gas milage than my Daytona does now.
