Since I learnt to drive in 2006:
1999 Ford Focus 1.6l
2006 Mazda MX5 2.0l
2013 Toyota GT86 2.0l

Also consecutively had a 2005 Nissan Xtrail just before the GT86, and that's recently been replaced with a 2013 Kia Sorento, but those were really my girlfriend's cars.

Next car...cant think of anything I'd want to replace the GT86 with that I could realistically afford, so I am probably going to spend some money for some modifications for a touch more power.

1983 Cavalier SRi - it had half leather recaros :D
1996 Golf GTi 8 valve - disappointingly slow but was my first car in my name.
2001 Audi A3 1.8T Sport, my first turbo, had it remapped to 220bhp - my first taste of remapping a turbo and I was hooked! :D
2008 Seat Leon Cupra K1, mapped again to 300bhp, was a weapon but was a handful in damp or wet weather.
2011 Audi S3, mapped to 370bhp.

Ready for the most epic downgrade ever?

02 Clio 1.2
2006 ford fiesta zs
2005 Honda S2000
2012 Kia Rio 1.1 crdi

Only new car out that lot was the fiesta.

I bought a house in 2015 and I couldn't afford to run the S2000 anymore.
