Mine was a MK IV 1999-2002 Ford Fiesta. Got it free. My parents bought it for my brother and was passed on to me. Was a good reliable whip.
Moved on to a MK II 2004 Renault Mégane, this was the first car I actually bought myself. Caused me nothing but trouble as it was an unreliable piece of French... You get the picture. However I loved the styling of it and despite all the trouble, I sort of loved it.
Currently got a MK V 2010 Volkswagen Polo. Really do love this car.
Got my full motorcycle licence last year and want a bike but can't afford one, and because of the rules in Northern Ireland I'm restricted to a 125CC for 2 years!!!
I will post some pics when I get home from work. Edit: For are US peeps who don't have these, (I think) 1) Fiest 2) Mégane 3) Polo, the model is my mum lol

That's what makes your first car so special - the memories :)
Mine was an inherited 1984/85 Nissan King Cab ute (pick up)
The damn thing was near indestructible which was just as well, the way I used to drive it. I had more fun in that car than all of my others combined.
In hindsight, I'm glad it wasn't a muscle/turbo rocket car, because I'd be dead.
My mate had the wagon version - that was also near indestructible. Flogged the living hell out that one too.
This was our family car we had just before the Mercury Station wagon.
I can't believe someone else owned one of these, well in the U. S. anyways.
Ours siezed up on the way to a family gathering in Ramona California and my Mom took the oportunity to get rid of it.
She strongly disliked adding oil to the gas for the 2 stroke engine. LOL Fabe
A brown Plymouth Valiant Brougham 2-door, 318 V-8, automatic.
The last straw was when I started it in the garage, it backfired, parts of the exhaust ripped open, not to mention waking up the dead!
(Don't get me wrong, it was a fun car to have for a while.)
Saab 96 1970. I paid £100 exactly at the time. I've had four of this model over the years and would love one now. Never see them on the road anymore. I don't know whether they are considered a classic car but they are by me
Those Saabs are real classics. I think the early models had 2 stroke engines too. Later I think they switched to Ford engines.
