I will have had my v6 for 3 years at the end of July, no intention of parting with it.

In the past I've usually only kept my cars for a year then sold on for something else... had my Clio 182 over 2 years now and tbh I want to keep it for another 2 goes to show just how good it is!

7 years, I do lust after other cars,
but the only way i'd drive something else is if I could afford to run the Clio aswel,
it's just too much fun to ever get rid of.

7 years I think. With a year break in 2009 then bought it back.

Had our 182 from new and it's still going strong - 10 years in October! Has been great during that time, and since it needs another cambelt, I'm going to treat it to a good fettling shortly to celebrate!

I've never owned a car for a full year...
You find a lot of people who are 'into cars' change them on a regular basis, hence I don't worry too much about the number of previous owners when buying a car. The 182 I owned before my Trophy I had for just four months. In that time, I'd spent quite a bit tidying it up and replacing worn parts, it was a good car, I just fancied a change.

Do you lose a lot of money this way though? I have a friend who's similar and swaps his cars every 6 months... (just gone from an R26 to a GTI E35) and I guess one key advantage is that he buys after a service has been done, and sells before the next one's due.
For me the main part of car ownership I enjoy is customisation and then enjoying what I've done lol so I tend to keep a little longer, especially with this one

I have a mate who uses that swapz website. Different car every month or so. I can't be bothered with the hassle! Plus the worry of buying something that's broken.

This your first one?
This 100%
Owned my 182 one and a half years now. I'm looking at other cars for when I'm 21 next year, but everytime I drive the clio, I always remind myself of how much I don't want to sell it.

I wouldn't say i've really lost any money tbh. For example, I sold the 182 for more than I paid for it, but then I'd spent a bit of money on it so probably broke even.
I've nearly had my Trophy for a year and have no intention of selling it. I think in was a case of finding a car I was happy with.
