    I've a an 06 BMW 3 series. Started with a civic and have moved up the ladder, my dream car to own in the next few years if I things go well would be the 6 series, beast of a machine and quite rare on Irish roads compared to the 5.

    The only hitch is that the top of the range can retail at over 100k. :eek:

    Fabia estate 1.4 MPI (LHD), but I have to go back to england for it.

    Also have a 1991 Peugeot 405 1.6 petrol LHD but it needs a fair bit of work.

    I thought it would be interesting to put it here. Thread title is too generic for the motors forum.

    2002 lexus is200 that I bought for 1000 quid.

    Edit: OP you can pick up a 6 series second hand cheap enough these days, especially the ones with the petrol V6 or V8 because there aren't many around these days who can afford the running costs, the diesels might cost a bit more but will obviously be cheaper to run.

    Best built cars in the world as they say, and there's a lot of truth to that. Toyota often top the reliability polls.

    Although locally, WRX is being pushed aside by the demand for the new (lesser powered) subi BRZ sports car (aka Toyota 86).
