What cars have you had in your lifetime?

1990 Honda Accord EX Auto
1997 Nissan Maxima SE 5 speed
2000 Audi A4 2.8 6 speed
2005 Mazda 6s 5 speed
2011 Ford Fusion Sport Auto
2014 Audi A4 P+ 6 speed
2018 Acura TLX A Spec Auto
1997 Honda Prelude Base 5 speed

Still have the bottom two. No clue what’s next, going back and forth between a sporty SUV or a sports sedan. The Audi may have been a 1999, all I known is it was a money pit. Not a good car for a college student with limited financial resources.

Owned the Mazda 6 years, haven’t owned a car longer than 3 years since.

didn’t you also have an Audi A3 TDI?

For me:
2006 Volvo S40
2017 Audi A3 (first lease)
2017 BMW 330e

God yes. I loved my G37S 6MT. Apparently the take rate for the 6MT was around 2%, so they are pretty rare. I keep an eye out to see if I can find a clean one again and it’s nearly impossible.

Damn dude - that is some good memory. Yes I did - I don’t count it since I did it for arbitrage…but I’ll add it anyway…

2002 VW Passat 1.8T GLS (hand me down from sister)

2012 Ford Focus SE 5MT hatchback (first new car, financed through Ford Credit; sometimes wish I kept it and didn’t get anything after that, since it’s all you really need in a car. Bought it for $21K and sold it for $11K after 2.5 years to get a…)

2014 Ford Focus Electric (got a hellish commute; free charging at work, free ExpressLanes tolls, and EV driving experience made it worthwhile; first lease)

2016 BMW 328i (leased a fart car driven by some brasshat in Texas; didn’t like it, brake pedal felt sloppy, the car never seemed new)

Never owned a 3 series oddly enough.

Had a DC-era E500 for a brief period of time (1yr) that I fortunately sold for just the cost of two airmatic shocks to me.

You also had (technically) a Cayenne and a few X5s :grin:
