i have a 2014 model. I used to enjoy the torque steer, i now find it frustrating it doesnt get the power down properly.
Having done a few track days, the car gets increasingly frustrating on the track

I personally thing the ford was not designed to be a track car or a more refined car its a typical american car straight line fast.. and does crazy things in the corner a mini muscle car.. I've yet to see a american car that is on par with handling with the german counterparts... but i suppose if you want crazy car then ST is the way to go if you want refined the GTI the way to go
 
1) What car do you drive?
Ford Figo Ambiente 1.4 petrol

2) What was the purpose of its purchase?
Needed second car for commuting and holidays, I was doing too many kms a year on my then 8 years old Ford Ikon sedan (now sold because doing much less km.

3) What is your favourite thing about your current car?
Find it comfortable to drive and its just the right mix of modern comforts but not having too much electronic nonsense gadgets (like it locks manually with a key, no remote jam nonsense to even think about)

4) What would you buy next and why?
I'd love a Ford Ecosport, for commuting and holidaying. Will have to see if I can afford it, otherwise maybe the new Ford Figo Aspire (that's the sedan version) that might reach SA next year I hope, I miss my Ikons boot space for neighbourhood watch equipment and holidaying
 
1) What car do you drive?
Alfa Romeo 159 1750 Ti

2) What was the purpose of its purchase?
Didn't want to keep my BMW out of motorplan, didnt want another BMW since it never made me quite as happy as previous Alfas and Fiats did

3) What is your favourite thing about your current car?
Comfortable, powerful, looks amazing, and heated seats!

I'm still happy with this, but plan on either getting a used Giulia (doubt i'll be able to afford the QV) or whatever they replace the current Giulietta with in a few years.

Finally one person actually buys the Brio, :D
Mybb's generally don't like the Brio for some strange and obscure reason.....

I always wanted to know;
What's it like to own? How light is it on fuel?
Any issues? Service quality good?

Its the one car you don't see enough of and i always ask why?

Should be a best seller, should be in the top 10 list but isn't for some reason......

And unless there's something dangerous/annoying/expensive wrong with it, why we see so little of this car.....
 
1) What car do you drive?

A white Mazda Drifter 2002 model, she has a double cab!
2) What was the purpose of its purchase?

HO, she was taking too long to transport my weekend beer stock by pushing a trolly down the road....also used as a transportation device to take Shadow the Ferocious to yon beach.
3) What is your favourite thing about your current car?

It still moves, although once every 6 weeks, I have to plug her into Eskom for replenishment.
4)What would you buy next and why?
Gonna keep driving her until she either rusts before my eyes or catches fire....

HO, well, she has a way nicer and modern transportation device with blueteeth that she allows me to use whenever I leave the township....
 
Any prizes for this survey? Or do we get paid in additional posts!
 
1. 2011 Volvo S60
2. Needed a car for the school run and got a good deal on this as Volvos are not that popular in SA.
3. Comfort and has all the bells and whistles, but at the same time I understand it is not popular with our local car thieves
4. Anything other than a Volvo. Maintenance is expensive.
 
1) Golf 2 1.6I
Hyosung 650R
2) Getting from A-Z cheap
3) Cabby for rainy days, bike for the rest. Freedom baby!!!!
4) When affirmative action or someone more disadvantaged as me decide to lent one of them. Maybe then the new QQ3 and or the Kawa Z1000.

It has a ZERO STARS Global NCAP crash test rating - it failed SO BADLY, that Max Mosely, the CEO of Global NCAP, told Datsun they should withdraw it from sale until the body structure was adequately reinforced.
