Do yo own one which is/was your dream car? Or you had to settle down for some compromise? Are you satisfied with the one you own?

My car - 2005 Buick LeSabre
I owned my dream car when I was a teenager. It was a 1962 Ford Falcon. I loved that car and wished I had one now. But I am very pleased with my 2005 Buick LeSabre pictured here. It also has OnStar built into it. A great thing to have as well. www.onstar.com HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

My mini-van is a bottom of the line van, the only options are an extra door and AC. It is one of the few vehicles left in the world without power windows or locks or a CD player or most anything you can think of. But it is only 9 years old and best yet..paid for. I love it. It has about 130K miles on it and I want to try and take it to over 200K...I have started a saving account for a new car..but that is many years away. My new car--will be a used Honda SR-V (That nice 4 wheel drive one)

Yes, I own one. My dream car is a brand new Volvo XC90, but I don't own one of those. :P Instead it is a used 2000 Taurus that I bought just a few days ago. Even though it is not my dream car, I am very happy with it. It's in great shape mechanically and cosmetically (other than a few minor dings). It has low mileage for it's year (55k) and my husband and I got a pretty good deal for it. So all in all I am very satisfied. :)

In 1980's, India had two stong brands, AMBASSADOR and FIAT. I had a second hand fiat, though it was very good car, I could not keep it because everyone was selling it for buying fuel economy cars. I did buy a Maruti Omni of Suzuki and kept it for 4 years. A few years back, I sold that and purchased a Santo of Hundai. It is a good family car, though maintenance is comparatively expensive.

We have an old Ford estate which we are more than happy with. It will transport nearly as much as a small van, but is comfortable. The seats fold down and we could sleep in the car if we had to. The outside looks tatty but that is all right because it is less likely to be stolen. We bought it for a very small sum of money and we thought if it lasted one year we would be happy but it is now on the fourth year and still out performing much newer cars. So we are very lucky and we love our car!

No,I don't own my dream car. I have once but sold it when I moved far away. I do wish and hope I get another one. I like the muscle cars back in the 70's

My own dream car is still in my head day dream and night dream. It will take some years to gain it. It will cost +20 thousand dollars here to have a TOYOTA VIGO model.

I was 50 years old before I learnt to drive. It was a challenge from my best friend who owned and drove a Jaguar. I passed my driving test and drove his Jaguar. I loved it but knew that I could never afford a car like that. So I bought an old Vauxhall Corsa and have had the car for 6 years now. It's old and bettered but I love it.

I've had 3 cars. The current one is one that I really wanted. The others I got because I wanted a car/Needed a car and it was there. The last time I needed a car I took a lot of care into picking. So it's a car I wanted. I don't think I have a dream car.

Owning a car in itself is a dream...talk about owning your dream car-Wow!!!Well,"if wishes were horses,beggars like me would ride".Anyways,we settled in for a Maruti-800 DX.It wasn't my husband's nor my dream car,but at that time that was the car that fitted well within our budget.We were more than excited to be able to possess a car of our own...so that became our reality and prized possession.We are more than satisfied with it and infact happy to have made the right choice for all the practical reasons.

My dream car? An early model Nova Deuce, the cute little square kind, not this one with the fast back. Hot pink, metal flake, with a kickazz stereo system. My actual car? A 1992 Buick Regal Gran Sport. It's a cute little car, speedy & nice options that all still work, but it doesn't handle for crap.

I own a Ford Focus 2ltr saloon. It is very comfortable having a good ratio of power to size. It has an engine management system which when driven normally brings about 40 miles per (UK)gallon on a steady cruise and around 32 about town in heavier traffic. I have always liked the look of the Mercedes, but they tend to be a lot more expensive to buy and maintain than my Ford.

So far not yet, Ranjeet. My mind keep on wavering and inculcating for ML500SUV. And far from satisfaction for what I've own now, also a SUV. But that is my new dream car, I mean the ML500SUV. Really make me work hard and smart in my business to get it one in someday. Thanks, Ranjeet. :::michael:::

Ford Explorer - A replica of the new truck we just bought. Kind of looks like a boxy hearse if you ask me.
I don't have a dream car. I totally don't care what car I drive. I was given an amazing car by my employer a few years back and couldn't figure out what everyone was staring at and talking about. I guess it was an awesome car. To me, if it started, it was fine. I have a medium blue Pontiac Grand Prix and we just bought a black Ford Explorer SUV. We gave our Bronze Chevy Blazer to our son. Of all the three, I don't have a favorite. If they have a CD player, heat and a/c, and a makeup mirror, we're good to go! lol.
