Considering the SAAB 900 turbo is one of my favourite cars ever, helped more by the fact Feeder frontman Grant Nicholas drove one in the music video for Tumble and Fall, and the quality assurance of that brand, well. I could also sperg on about the Vauxhall VX220 being one of the most overlooked cars ever just because of the badge. The Nova and Calibra, as well as the currently-produced Insignia are also all excellent. (The Tigra is kawaii so bonus points!) I won't get started on japanese cars yet.

Volvo make some of the few estate cars that don't look like they had the entire back portion stuck on as an afterthought, so huge props to them, even if I used to think they were ugly and 'for old people' when I was little (god, how dumb of me). BMW estates look great too, though IMO the E30, E36 and E46 models are probably the greatest BMWs ever made.

The AC was broken for the longest time, the seats were a bit ergh, the stereo died and ate the CD that was in it, and it just barely passed the inspections.

Despite with the fact it was poorly maintained by previous owners and has a problem with the A/C. It also has some rust, which is almost obligatory for an almost 20 year old car in Norway, but I did repair some of it with help from some people i know irl. Aside from that, I do miss my dad's old Volvo V70 from 2006. That thing was the comfiest car I've ever sat in, but it was a repair hog and it was approaching almost 300 thousand kilometres, meaning the engine was tired and using too much petrol. My dad actually only got rid of it due to repair costs, otherwise that Volvo might've been my first car, not the Civic I currently have.
