    Mazda 6, brought new through then work scheme in 2008 and paid for years ago. Starting to get a bit long in the tooth, but can't quite justify getting a newer one just yet as I don't do a lot of mileage any more.

    My current everyday car has been with me since 2003, and my running classic has been mine since 1986. My previous daily driver (which is in my shed awaiting attention in its position as "next project") was on the road from 1988 to 2003, and my current project joined me in 1985, went away for a while, and came back in 2008.
  • Daily Yaris, bought as pre-registered last March, 8 miles on the clock but a massive saving on first registration. So almost 18 months.
    Plus 1962 Morris Minor 1000, close on 20 years.

    Ford Fusion 1.6 Diesel since Feb 2011 Thinking of getting a hybrid Golf GTE in September (mine)

    Volvo XC70 2.4 D5 since Jan 2014 (OH) - will keep for a good while.

    Previously had Xsara Picasso for 8 years (mine) and 2.2D Mondeo for 6 years (OH)

    Some people change cars more often than their socks but I could not be bothered, shopping for cars is quite fun though.
    ISA £1675 :DMiniMoohound savings £3685.86 :T Plus £3800 CTF :)
