1992 EBII Falcon S 5 speed manual - Everglade, bought new, sold in 2003. Great car but like a truck around town.

1991 KF Laser GLi hatchback 5 sp manual - White, bought in 1998, sold in 2001. The Escort was a sh*tbox.

2002 BA Falcon XT V8 auto - Mercury Silver, leased new in 2003. Went and sounded magnificent.
2006 BF Falcon XR6 6 spd auto - Shockwave, leased new in 2006, still in possession. Best car I've had.

UPDATE:
Rolled the lease over on the BF and finally bought it out in Nov 2010, sold it to my son in Jan 2011 and bought an FG XR6. I originally leased it for 2 years, then bought it out and kept it until a fortnight ago. It was a terrific car, it started life as a demo model with 6 speed ZF, premium sound, reverse sensors, 18" alloys, Seduce paint. I had no reason to get rid of it, but...
Now I'm the proud owner of a stock FG-X XR8 auto in Victory Gold. Build date 4/2015, 28000 k's on the clock, I'll be keeping this for at least 5 years at which time I expect that it will still have less than 80,000km on the clock. In the meantime I'm very much looking forward to occasional road trips along the NSW south coast and across the Snowy's; I intend to make it cry out at opportune times.
