2. Lada 2107 1700i '96 (picture)
3. Mitsubishi Carisma 1.8 GDI '98 (picture)

That mitsu was actually really good car in longer distances, and it's steering was somehow much more accurate than in my mx-5..
Edit: And actually the seats were much better too, they had quite nice lateral support.

These are the cars I've owned my self:

1. Skoda 120l '82, paid 20€ (or was it 20mk = 3€, can't remember) for this one, and it was one of the best/most fun winter cars I've owned. It really loved to go sideways and no matter how bad the weather/snow was, it newer got stuck and it just kept going. I remember one blizzard where neighbours brand new x5 got stuck in parking lot, and there was 5 people pushing and pulling it with no luck. I got to my skoda, started it and drove it past his x5 though huge snow bank like it was nothing 
2. Mitsubishi lancer 1.6l '92 Great dd and most maintainance free car I've ever owned.
3. Peugeot 206 gti Had some serious problems in winter, otherwise great little car.
4. Nissan 200sx '91 I had no intentions of changing cars at the time and almost accidentally took it for a test drive. I instantly fell in love with turbo noises and just had to have it 
5. Nissan 300zx tt '91 with ~450hp. This was absolute horror to maintain with all goodies that wanted to break down and hard/expensive to repair. This is the one car I should not have bought.
6. Mazda mx-5 1.8l -93 with this one I realized how much fun it is to drive slow car fast on and off track.
7. Mazda mx-5 1.6l -91

[Mai-ck]

1. -89 ford sierra 2.0 ohc, still works today. It's now my winterbeater and my father keeps it for summer as his daily.

2. -89 sierra 2.0 ohc, this one i crashed into a lamppost and it was the day after i got it MOT'd for a full year 
i must admit i cried a little 

3. -91 sierra with 1.6CVH prolly the shittiest car ever made 

4. -88 volvo 740 GLE 2.0i automatic driven 500k +, lowered& nice rims my first "tuning" car

5. -91 Eunos Roadster 1.6, decided i need something better. First i was going to buy something like Skyline or Silvia. But then somehow found some miata "stance"-videos from youtube and started to look for a one. I'm lovin' it!
