    Just thought it would be interesting to see what people are currently driving, and what they would be driving if petrol and tax wasn't an issue..

    Im currently in a 320ci, but if I had a choice I'd be in a e46 m3.

    Probably my current car, a 2.2 diesel Civic. Road tax up north is £120/yr.

    If tax and petrol weren't issues then we'd all be cars similar to what the yanks drove in the 70s. Irish people (by and large) drive boring cars because of tax and petrol. Oh well, a man can dream about a more wasteful time.

    If petrol was free I'd still drive my current car, a Dacia Logan MCV. 4.5l/100km. Leave as much fuel for the future generations as possible!

    I think many of us would go for German stuff, much of what the yanks drove in the 70s are awful piles of sh1te.

    Think of what the cars would be like without taxation on fuel (/emissions) and taxation on reg plates!

    Performance, weight, handling, safety, looks and cost would be how they differentiate, a much better product would be produced.
