Why did you buy your car?

[LegoHead]

Because I'm stooooopid and wanted AC.

Actually, I remember why I changed. I put water in my power steering reservoir in the clio grande I had, and I wanted a warranty. It was gonna cost me s**t loads to fix, and thought may as well spend the money on a new car instead. So part exed the grande in, without telling them there was strawberry flavoured frijj under the bonnet.

I bought my Vee because
- I thought they looked mental from the moment I first saw one - reminded me of mad Group B cars of old like Metro 6R4 from when I was younger
- I've always wanted something with more that 4 cylinders but didn't want anything bigger than a hot hatch
- The TopGear review of the Mk2 made me even more certain when I heard the sound of the Vee
- I loved my 172 and so it was logical progression
- You only live once so I thought what the heck it's now or never
- I'm a father of 3 boys and it's surprisingly practical

Always wanted an RS ever since they came out. Couldnt really afford it until now.

I brought my car becuase my WRX was burning a hole in my pocket and was getting far too old.

I kinda ended up buying the 172 by accident as it was on my shortlist from quite a few makes....turned up, had a look at and really liked it straight away so the money went down.

Also the low miles appealed to me
