I was just curious as to what sort of first cars people had, my first car was a 1.0 litre ford fiesta, drove like it was made of cardboard but you could go round the world before needing to refill its tank

...

hairy_Palms, mine was almost the same - 1987 suzuki forsa. Little three cylinder dealy, they call it a 1.0 litre but on the engine it says 993 cc. I bought it when I was 16 for $500 (CDN), and drove it to university 5000 km away when I was 20. Didn't last long in the Ontario winter, sad to say...

mine was 1989 reg and it was a horrible light green colour, it finally died in 2004, it cost me £495

[EDIT] it was the same green colour as the wikipedia picture that matthew posted

A mini-moke, brand new, back in 1965.

If I had money, I would buy my first car...well gotta keep workin.

My first car:


Suzuki SJ413

I loved it, though Norway isn't the best country for a open car... so I sold it after one winter.

my first car IS, i still have it, i only bought it erlier this year, a N reg (1996) 1.8 ford fiesta classic diesel. Its RED!!! and yea, fuel consumption is good and hey its a 1.8.

But damn my insurance is high

My first vehichle was a 1972 Chevrolet Cheyene, the most awesome truck to ever roam the streets!

I miss that truck

My first car was an '02 Chrystler Neon

1964 Chevr Impala-blue. Chevrolet Impala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mine had 283ci v-8 engine which I rebuilt and bored out to a 301. That puppy hummed. I bought it from a school teacher while I was in the Navy, stationed in California. The car was beautiful.

1967 Chev Bel Air 4 door. Didn't know it was white 'till I washed it 3 months later! Red interior (when you could see it through all the stuff!) and sounded like a Sherman tank most of the time. Cops even stopped me but 'cause I'm a girl I could play dumb about the muffler and tail pipe having been torn off. Back then the fines for not having a driver's license and valid registration was only 60 bucks and I was getting caught about once per week. I don't miss those days at all!

damn that wouldve RAPED my wallet at the time, the insurance on my 1.0 was bad enough.

My first car was a Fiat Panda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first generation. That car was so small

Got it from a couple of days work. At least if someone asked I could say I had a black italian car (Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.) 903 cc What a lot of power

Now I'm car-free. And it's good not having all those expenses.

£1600 a year. Feel the pain!!!

thats not much more than what i paid, 1500 was what i paid, but i am in london so insurance prices are higher anyway

1995 Chrystler Cirrus... will never own a chrystler again... it was green... ran ok till the tranny died

My first car was a light blue Ford Cortina Mk III. My mates mum gave it to me when I was 15. (see image below, but in blue)



It's a funny name for a car, in Spanish Cortina means Curtain. So there you have it, a nice picture of the Mk III Ford Curtain

It's a good idea to stay away from chryler products. Ford isn't that hot either.

1960 Chevy Impala coupe.

Like this one, except black:

1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe Vintage Print Ad

Mine was a Ford Escort, MKI 1300 XL or something. Red with a red interior. Remember vinyl seats on a summers day?!?



The only picture I could find was of a model... Plenty of pictures of the sports versions, like the Mexico. I wish...
