Oh my Nissan Sunny hatchback '93!.
You were a 4th hand car,I paid for you in 6 installments,in fact I am still owing Mr Lawrence some money,lol.
I changed virtually everything in that car excluding the chassis. Fuel consumption was next to nothing.

My first car was a 2003 Honda Accord EX. Enjoyed it more than any babe I had at that time. I used it for just over a year and sold it at a great profit. I still love, admire and misses that car anytime I come across any on the road.

I loved it, it was a very nice looking car.

It had so much more downs than ups. . . .and we had the best trips to the mechanics.
Re: Memories Of Your First Car by swiftycool(m): 6:21am On Jul 05, 2012
Mine was a peugot 406, very cute and efficient. I got it at next to nothing from my cousin when I first got to Aberdeen but rarely used it due to parking costs where it was most needed, since bus services for me then as a student were very efficient and cheap. I tried selling it on gumtree and ebay after a year to reduce my expenses on road tax, insurance and mot but coulnt get a buyer till all got expired. And since we didn't have a garrage in the house and I couldn't find anyone to dash, I had to give it up to a lowbed guy taking it to a scrap yard for a measely £70.

hmmmm, my first car is a honda accord 1990 model aka honda halla. Mine is an american spec and a front wheel drive, most new cars can't even compete with it on the high way. Still using it now but will get a new one soon. The car no be moi moi, highly maintainable and durable, fuel consumption is very ok. The main problems i am having with it is the front wheels.
Re: Memories Of Your First Car by Nezan(m): 7:31am On Jul 05, 2012
My first car was a Datsun Laurel. Fuel consumption was very high and I bought it 3rd hand. I parked it when I bought my second car. I have changed up to 4 cars now but that Datsun Laurel is safely parked as a monument.

Mercedes 190. I got it 2003. I drove it for 2 years. D overheating na story for another day. I drove it for 2 yrs.
Re: Memories Of Your First Car by Nobody: 8:24am On Jul 05, 2012
My first car was a 1989 jetta manufactured in Germany. The car uses the same engine as golf 2. Very strong and I never spent more than 1500(changing clutch disc) on the car for the 3years I drove it. Super fuel efficient and very good for off-road aslong as long as the road is not flooded or marshy.

Despite its age, was thrilled that it always felt solid on the ground with great handling and no rattling like Japanese cars. I dashed my relative and he totaled the car on Lagos ibadan express way.
