Well my car history comprises:

1) Ford Focus 1.8i 5dr Zetec (Black) - great engine and gearbox - pleased me no end as my first car unfortunately my colleague borrowed it one day and it didnt come back...
2) Ford Focus 3dr ST170 (Magnum Grey) - got this after a catalogue of courtesy / hire cars (see above)
I know this car didnt get the best reviews, but its very underated in my opinion - yes the gearing was too long so the 6 speed box was a bit of a novelty in that respect, but it was slick and precise. The steering, handling and brakes were excellent. The ride compromise was just right....my second favourite car!
3) VW Golf 1.6 5dr SE - Tropic Orange - trash, absolute trash, never never again, don't know why I even bought it - oh yeah had to save some money for a house and wedding!
4) Peugeot 307 1.6 5dr S - Silver - company supplied this car; though more like company supplied poo...actually to be fair I had no problems with it given how low the reliability ratings were and it was a reasonble cruiser...
5) Honda Civic 2.2 ES in NHB...still a company car but I chose it, and that makes all the difference!

. Really really pleased with it - excellent ride, decent handling (though not as good as ST170, not by quite a bit actually) lots of equipment. I'll definitely be looking at a Honda again in three years...
