WOT THE FOCK?!
nvm.
I drove a Fiat Uno without roof. We cut it off at the Schoolworkstation. Some 35hp somethin shyte thing, which is actually quite funny.

How it looks? Dont ask, childish crap chit. Orange with flowers drawn on it lol. The car reacts very good imo. But the gears are  fcked haha. Its like you have to hit the gear knob to get a gear in.

I'll join this too.
Nissan Bluebird was first car i drove, tho now it's siting on bricks @ my back yard. 2l D. It had some torque, but not much, and ride was too soft.



(not my pic)

Second car i drove was Renault Espace 2 (that's what i'm going to drive for whole summer................) 2.2l petrol engine, light car = fun, tho i has broken suspension in back, so now it's a boat




Audi A8 4.2L quattro. well that was epic fun to drive on snow, too back i had only 1 time in it, but that was epic fun !





Ford Glaxy Same as Espace, but more stiffer.





My sisters 530d e60 This thing is..... the best car i've driven soo far.




Mazda Premacy my driving school car. 2l TD not very manoeuvrable, feels abit like a boat, and heavy.

Great contribution Spinaker! That maserati must be an awesome grandsport.
Yea, to make this clear this thread is "about cars you drove yourself, give a small personal review on them"

----------------------



Drove this black Nissan 370Z Roadster a couple of times. First time it I drove a Z34 was a 24th Anni-model in the snow. Well, drove... we had to push it since this modell didn't have snow-mode yet so would only spin the tires like crazy and go nowhere. Second time was better in this black Roadster. Once you get in the car right away feels massive. You are completely "build in". Some might say that this gives a safe feeling which it does; but I right away felt the lack of the real "open driving" sensation like in a MX-5/Barchetta. Also the upper-bar from the frontshield goes so far to the inside that when you are in your normal driving position you feel like you can tought it with your forehead. However the preformance, speed-wise, is on a whole other level... damn that thing is quick! It also has a nice low but not to screaming sound in it. I drove the automatic this time tough... eventough I'm normally not a fan of a automatic gearbox in the 370Z I think its a "must" when you want to drive it on a daily basis. Also drove the manual but its way to agressive in the gearing to drive it on a daily basis. Perfect for a occasional trackdays, but a hell in heavy prublic traffic. What also amazed me is how abnormal stiff the suspension is. Ofcourse its allot stiffer than allot of normal cars, but even on a flat, but brick, road I almost litterly got shaked like hell. However get a smooth asphalt road, give it some beans and you'll forget all that in just a second. Lovely car!

I clearly think the same on old bmw...better to drive than to look at...lol
Great experiences mate!

Nice reports guys! Lets keep this thread alive...
I already liked the Atom but right now I want to drive it so bad! ^^



I drove it many times before but its been a while untill today when I drove the new Kia Sportage again.
I know that allot of people like the new look of it and it sure doesn't look bad. Alright, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the LED-lights in the headlight... In fact I start to hate them more and more... They are becoming the new Altezza-lights! Brand like Audi, Nissan and KIA and such make these light way to strong in the presence. The only brand that seems to make nice "day-running-light-setups" (what-a-word! lol) is Citroën like in the new C5. But anyway, enough about the LED-rant. Back to the Sportage. Looks pretty good on the outside but as soon as you get in you know you are in a Korean car. The used materials look allot cheaper than for example in the Qashqai. Also the radio design seems like something from the late '90's. Also all buttons feel a bit dodgy and not very solid. But oh well, what can you expect for that price? After you get in you (atleast I do) notice that the interior is not very ergonomic. I'm a pretty avarge person in lenght and such so that can't be the excuse. The seats are adjustable but you never get into a good position for example you cant even lay your hands somewhere near the door while you still want to steer. If  you lay it at the window-line all you blood runs out of your arm cause its so high and if the lay it on the pad low at the door you sit like a "chav in a tuned Corsa" cause its way to low. I had to drive the car for like 30 minutes and already my arms got tired of not being able to place them somewhere decent. Than as soon as you start to drive it things don't get much better. The engine is pretty noisy and the stock 1.6l is anything but fast. If you want to overtake on a highway it even feels underpowered at some times. And than there is the gearbox of which you need a map to find the gears cause the shifting is anything but direct.

My verdict? Looks nice, doesn't cost much but please save a little more and buy a decent car like a Qashqai or even a Koleos!

Oh noes! Hide 'ya kids, hide 'ya wifes! Its a gawd-damn CUBE!
Ok, i'll give you a few seconds to scream "kill it with fire" and "my eyes! its burns!".
3.... 2.....      1...... alright... Done flaming? Cause I'm gonna shock you with what I am about to say...
I think the CUBE is a pretty good car! Yes, and I ain't even trollin' y0!
The looks of the Cube are ofcourse not of everybodies taste. Infact most people hate it.
I'm not one of them. I already liked the first 2 gens and this 3th one looks pretty funky in my opinion.
Well, I don't like the back-end with that "ass" sticking out, and the carpet on the dashboard is also quite "meh".
But besides the carpet on the dash the interior is so spacious and feels so big with that panorama roof!
And the seats are by far the most comfortable seats Nissan makes. The ride also feels very smooth... almost French.
However for some reason it just "looks" like it would handle like a boat, but thats not the case.
The ride is not fast but fast enough, and the steering is accually pretty sharp for such a car.
Even the gearbox is ok... On point tough... I believe its based on the same chassis as the Note. In the Note the seats are a little lower so the position of the gearstick is ok there. In the Cube it looks like the installed higher seats but didn't relocate the gearstick so it quite "down there". The don't really grab is easy enough as its a bit to far down. Besides that the quality on this thing is just plain simple "good". Another downside tough is the price. Which is a bit to steep in my opinion (just like Toyota's Urban Cruiser).
Second point is that the "square" shape and the pretty much vertical placed windshield mostly meens massiv wind noise. I remember driving a Daihatsu Materia where you couldn't even hear the radio on normal volume when driving over 120km/h. Strangly enough this isn't the case at the Cube. Good job engineers!

Verdict, Pretty decent, pricey and underrated car. INB4 paperbag. lol

Range Rover Supercharged 2011



I had a go at it today again in the Range Rooney. I've heard Clarkson saying how Range Rover ruined the new looks of it. It's a rather of personal taste. The LED's gives it a modern look. Looks wise, it's a freaking Range, it's obnoxious big, commands respect and class. Interior is A1, I looooove the digital dashboard. It's crisp, functional, elegant. The GPS and the audio control aren't exactly "intuitive" per se. Leather, touch, finishing, fit is typical Range Rover: amazing.

How's the drive? It's obviously not a FD2-R but the supercharged 5.0L V8 can pick up speed pretty fast, it's almost scary. It's Cherooke SRT8 scary fast. I didn't get to test the legendary offroad capabilites but the streets of Montreal are crappy enough for me to catch a glimpse of its capability. Soaks up the bumps without drama. The air suspension is sick. I'd lower it just for fun. I heard you can remove safety brackets and hack into the programming to slam it. 

Final verdict?
If you have this amount of money and you have Canadian/Norwegian winters? It's the best SUV money can buy
