Why do you own the car that you own?

simple, low payments! ;)

and the golf wagon, the reason is that the jetta wagon was a lease, and 2 years after, it already had 70 000km and 10 000km left for 2 years. returned it to the dealer and bought the same thing but 2011 and not a lease

we are after wagons! we love the style, the room and the practical aspect of this car

I used to own a Jeep and realized that it was probably the biggest moneypit ever. That being said, it had a rough past.

I have a Civic now, because it's cheap to run, gets good gas mileage, and is relatively quick. Perfect car for my budget and lifestyle at this point.

Porsche 993 Cabrio: Because dream car, and I've always wanted to have one. Aside from that i just love the styling of it and i still believe its one of the very best air-cooled porsches ever built. There's nothing that sounds like it with the top down.

MB ML 550 08': It was my father's car bought it off him when he bought the new ML. I needed an SUV at that time so the timing was perfect. Looks good, drives really well, comfortable and quiet. It does have over 100,000km on it, but i know its history very well and its been well taken care of.
 
kia soul, needed space, cheap price, and new car!

The Scion IQ:

Wanted a small car for the city that's cheap on gas, was gonna get a Smart, until the test drive. The IQ was a million times better so we got that instead.

The Jetta 2.5:

I wanted to replace my old MK3 Golf with something newer, safer, fully loaded, and great on the highway. Was looking at american, japanese and german cars. I didn't see myself in a Civic, Corolla, Matrix, and I wasn't comfortable getting into a 2.5 Subaru, due to the fuel consumption, engine problems, and added maintenance with the AWD system. The Jetta just felt a notch above everything else in its class. Plus the 2.5 5cyl gives it a sound and feel that IMO feels so much more upscale than a 4cyl. Gets pretty decent mileage on the highway too.

350z: don't know, always wanted an STi but ended up with this... :p

mazda 3: cheap but reliable car (except rust and shocks)
 
Silverado: pays itself off and makes plenty of profit. Simple cab 4.8 that has towed over 300 times, approx. 60 000 kms. I stay under the 3000kg limit so don't need yearly inspections. Great truck. Wish it was extended cab tho.
 
Ça a été difficile pour moi...

-Minimum 250hp
-Très équipé... sièges chauffants, clim automatique minimum
-4 ou 5 portes (2 kayaks et un gros chien!)
-Environ 30000 avant taxes avec du 0% ou proche
-Neuf

J'hésitais entre une Mazda6 GT-V6 ou la speed3. Je me suis ramassé avec la speed3 parce qu'elle est manuelle, mais des fois je m'ennuie de la place que j'avais dans mon ancienne 6 2.5

My Civic SiR (2000) was stolen in September of 2009.

Insurance only gave me 8600$ for it so I was looking for a cheap car I could buy for cash.

Ford was having crazy deals so I bought a Ford Focus SE with heated seats/mirrors, satellite radio, A/C, etc... for 18,000 taxes in.

Because Racecar

I bought my M3 a few weeks ago, it's amazing no words can describe how amazing, if I went back in time I would buy 2 so I never have a shortage of amazingness. I enjoy everything about the car it does everything so well, there is no car within the same budget that I would consider owning before this car. With your budget I would buy the same car.

If you want pics there are many in here: http://montrealracing.com/forums/showthread.php?822302-BMW-M3-Detailed&goto=newpost

I want one, but I'm scared I won't get that brute power feeling I have now and the upkeep cost.
