I'm certain we'll all be 100% happy driving our EV6's, but assuming it's not your first and only car, I'd love to hear what previous car you've owned that stands out as the best.

For me it was a 2009 Ford Fusion SEL - the one that was a Ford-ified (pun intended) Mazda6. I had the 2.3L inline-four and the 5-speed automatic. It wasn't the most exciting car I've ever driven (by a long shot) but it always felt and drove better than a base-engine Ford sedan was supposed to -- in my mind, at least.

2014 Corvette Stingray. Surprisingly spacious, great fuel economy, and obviously an amazing machine to drive. Can't speak highly enough of the world you enter when you buy a Corvette

1972 Pontiac Lemans Sport

I did own a share in a 1974 Carrera Club Sport, one of I think only 24 RHD. We paid £24,500 and I think now you could add a zero to that.

Without a doubt my 2007 S2000! I owned it for 12 years and it never saw my Honda service dept. for anything other than yearly free state inspection visits and one "look see" on a recall issue that did not require attention. Admittedly though,she was a world class garage queen.

1995 Saab 9000. I'd likely still be driving a Saab if GM had not ran the brand into the ground and then thrown it away.

323 Mazda GT, 323F, Mazda 626, Mazda 6 and for now a Mazda 3 😊
Had some WW Golfs also... but what a shitty car that is...

Now I go for a EV6

I've had some weird and wonderful cars, including Mini 1275GT, a 1988 Ford Fiesta Popular (hated it with a passion), Mondeo (a much better Ford), Fiat X1/9, Vauxhall Nova, 1973 Porsche 911T, Lotus Excel, Elise 111R and Evora S, Honda Civic Type R, Audi S3, BMW 123D and few others.

Without a shadow of doubt the best car I ever owned was my 2004 BMW M3 CSL. It had everything, 4 seats, went fast, handled well, looked cool, was seriously limited in numbers, people who knew about cars knew what it was, everybody else just though it was a saloon car. Oh and although I do regret selling it it sold for £10k more than I bought it for - what's not to like (apart from, as I said, selling it). I am still in touch with the new owner and to be fair he is looking after it much more than I did, if leaving it in a garage is caring for a CSL, which is arguable!

Changing mine to my 74 Saab Sonnet. My first car....just loved it

Best as in fit for purpose..Volvo V60. Fast, frugal and ridiculously comfy. Just does what it should.

Best as in performance, Elise MK2. Was my only car for 3 years, including snowy winters!

Best car I have built, my Caterham.

Best car for reliability, my wife's Honda Jazz from about 15 years ago. Completely indestructible, practical, easy to live with. And dull.

I replaced my Saab 9000 with a V60. No complaints other than I miss Saabs

In 1999 i imported a brand new 2 door Subaru Impreza Sti Version 5 Type R from Japan.
Was a beast, and with a few tweeks, was even better. Full HKS Race exhaust system, HKS Intakes and Sequential Blow of Valve.
Fueling it was an issue though at 9 mpg.

I Loved my old school 1986 Renault 5 GT Turbo, back in the day.

Did so much to it and use to 1/4 mile race it at Santa Pod back in the day.

Always wanted a Lancia Delta 16V Integrale and never could afford one when released, then many years later when I could and drove one it did not have the same appeal as it did when it first was launched.

Had a Impreza for around 24 months, neighbours hated me going to work in the early morning,

The Type R i had, sounded the bollox. Got it tuned down at Torque Developments in London. The drive back up to gods coutry was ‘entertaining’.

Most sweet sounding exhaust has to be my Mitsubishi Evo 6 Tommi Makinen edition, the rumble sounded so good.

The closest I have ever come to that sound was a Range Rover SVR.

Tidy.
For me, the ultimate car has always been a Audi UR Quattro. Very nearly bought a tidy one about 6 years ago. Wish i had, as the price would have near doubled. Never had one, and probably wouldn’t now as tidy ones are through the roof. No better sounding car, than a 5 pot Audi.

With an EV, then any nice sounds are gone.
Ah well, but will still get the noise, the buzz, (the cost of petrol) from my sons karting.

From the company that makes about the most reliable engines, it’s not surprising, and what an engine.
Probably the best road car engine Honda have ever made. Built to rev.
I do hope as it was a Garage Queen, you kept the revs up over 6,500 and near to 9,000 as that is what Honda built it for. And, the late 90’s McLaren Honda Rev Counter to boot.

That redline (9K) was for the AP1 with the 2.0. Mine was the second gen. AP2 2.2 litre with a redline of 8K. It's safe to assume it was driven "with pace" before it was sold.

 

[Paul Henry X-Ray]

Depends on the definition of "Best." Most fun? 2006 BMW 330i 6MT with the sport package. Most reliable? Probably the Elantra.
