Just thought this could be an interesting discussion, what do you guys drive daily?
Currently I drive the C5 8), mum has a Corsa and dad has an Aygo.

Currently my mum drives a Fiat Dublo and my dad drives a Suzuki SX4 but he will soon be trading it in for a KIA KX-1
Its not my daily, as I dont have one of those, prefer to save money for the toys and walk/bus places, but it still gets used fairly often.

Its a 1991 205 GTi 1.9 :)
A boring estate.
The fuel economy of a smaller car, but space for loads of windsurfing kit and sleeping. Tinted windows for privacy and it's a stealth camper.
I'm off to Anglesey tomorrow morning for a weekend of windsurfing. :D

That looks stunning 8)
Thanks :) Its had quite alot of time, money and effort lavished on it! But its worth it, it seems to be an appreciating classic at the moment. (not that I have any plans to ever sell it!)
Some before/afters since I bought it then finished restoring it. Fortunately my new C5 doesnt need as much work! :D

I am quite literally mad on Citroens, we have 8 of them in our household, two of them are mine.
My current daily is a Xantia HDi Exclusive Estate.

It does make for ideal Sinclair C5 transport.
My toy is another Xantia, 2.0 Turbo petrol Activa. Which has something called 'Anti-roll Control' basically it dramatically limits body roll and as a result drives unlike anything else. With the turbo boost increased, it's a bit of a woof in sheeps clothing.

I happen to write the Xantia column for the Citroen Car Club magazine ::)
Until a few months ago I used to keep my Xantias for nice days and had a sucession of Citroen C5s for my daily driver, which would have been quite fitting now ...
My weekend toy is a 1996 MGF 1.8 VVC

And the wifey has a Corsa
Here's my daily drive ride 8)
(http://photos.cm7.ch/C5/Other/i-9BCBvM4/0/M/Bike-M.jpg)
I do just over 20km to the office and back every day on it. It's a one-off as I had it custom made locally, colour matched to my old (now long gone) sports car with 8 speed hub gears and disk brakes. Also got a few trailers for it depending on if I'm heading to garden/shops or taking the kids out and about.
(we also have a Ford Focus, but I only use it once a week or so for large shopping trips or day trips out of the region)

I drive a Citroen DS4 and the wife has a Citroen C1, both nice cars for different reasons, we have had 12 Citroens over the years and I think I have had over 50 cars altogether.
Retro Andy.
New shape Ford Fiesta, titanium, really great car cruise control, hill start assist, 125bhp and does an average of 41mpg and that's with learners driving it ! Love it

Can't get the C5 in it tho
Currently my main daily driver is an 89 Saab 900i 3 door Auto.

The weekend car being an 87 Skoda Estelle 120LX. The last one in the country apparently.

My other half has a 09 plate Pug 107 Verve which I have owned from new as well for when we need to be sensible...or it's hot enough that we deem air con necessary!

Car I really miss is my Suzuki Cappuccino. Now that was fun. Closely followed by my Lada Niva and Austin MiniMetro HLE, any of those three I would buy back in a heartbeat.
My daily driver is a Focus Diesel Estate(which carries a C5 with ease). My toys are a Renault Sport 172 Cup (for Autosolos), a Vindicator Vulcan V8(for sprints & hillclimbs) and a Porsche 924S owned from new (competed in quite often too)and currently undergoing a more powerful engine transplant.
Hi all,
I drive a Mercedes C220 CDI AMG sport..............Which could be up for sale tomorrow as looking for a new car - Sold - NEW CAR ORDERED (Birthday present to myself).

My wife is so happy with an old Y reg Peugeot 306
It is an estate
Mine is a Jag XK8 - I do like my classics; but I get even more looks in the C5 than in the Jag. Go figure!!!
Piaggio MP3 400ie - at least it's a 3 wheeler
;)
Currently giving very serious consideration to adding a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit to the fleet.
...aside from anything else, seeing it parked next to the Skoda would so wonderfully baffle the neighbours!
QuotePiaggio MP3 400ie - at least it's a 3 wheeler
Yes, but to drive forwards you have to drive backwards. :P
In the last few days this was added to the fleet. Intended mainly as a winter hack, but seems in such good state I may well hold on to it for a while yet.

She's a Xantia 1.9TD Sensation, picked up as a trade in to clear for £295 complete with a full year's MOT. If you had put some tape over the odometer and sent me for a test drive, would have said 50-70K on the clock...nothing close to the 197K on there. Reckon the mileage must have put a lot of people off.
