    6 years on 1st September. Toyota Yaris and my one and only car I've had since new and hope it will last at least another 6 years.

    I think SWMBO might win this... 31 years and counting. We're driving to Poland in that one in a few weeks time.

    Mondeo estate, 2-litre Tdci 130. Owned the longest of any car, 8 years now. I will probably keep it until it dies.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    late 2010 E class Mercedes bought with 52,000 miles on the clock as my first car after passing my test on a intensive course in August 2013. It is now on 92,000 miles (!) Didn't take and pass my test until I was 42, now making up for lost time...

    Jaguar XJL owned for 2 years, before that a V50 for just over 2 yrs, before that a mk3 Mondeo and prior to that my longest owned vehicle was an 04 Legacy saloon Auto which I owned for just over 4 yrs from new until it was stolen.

    The wife has a 116D owned for about 6/7 weeks, before that a Clio Dci owned for 6yrs and prior to that an Accent auto that she had for roughly 3 or 4 yrs I can't honestly remember.

    If I don't sell the Jag in the next 5/6 weeks I will likely keep it for the next 10yrs as I am no longer going to be using it for work.

    I sold one car yesterday, which I'd had for 3-4 years.
    Due to get a new (used) one on Saturday.

    About 4 weeks, had the previous van about 5 years. Was going to keep it for another year,but one of the dogs has a collapsed trachea and really struggles with hot weather. So I got a van with aircon for her:o
