I can see my ownership list is going to stand out a bit in here.
2020 Honda E Advance - first car
Your previous cars...
Citroen 2CV
BMW 2002
VW GOLF CL
VW Golf GTI
VW Golf GTI 16v
Subaru Vivio AWD (living in Japan)
Mazda MX5
Honda Civic Type R EP3
Toyota IQ
Porsche Boxster S
Nissan 350Z
Subaru Impreza WRX
Nissan Elgrand
Suzuki Swift Sport
I used to be a VW fan until moving to Japan and realised how good Japanese cars were. I feel the Japanese philosophy is more customer/enthusiast focused rather than purely business focused.
The Honda Civic Type R is the car I have the strongest emotions about but also crack a smile thinking back to 2CV and MX5. GTI 16v was a disappointment.

More an accumulator, really. I'm better at acquiring cars than disposing of them...
Only the last two are on the road at the moment. The others that I still have are all hibernating, but will perhaps reawaken one day.
The Uno has been standing (garaged) since 1996, and its engine is probably well and truly seized by now. Otherwise, though, it's in good shape, and I have a vague idea of getting it converted to an EV, but I need to convince myself it's worth the huge outlay involved (which, quite frankly, it isn't).
