Not bad for a courtesy car

...yes it's a Ford but you gotta admit this isn't really a bad courtesy car compared to the usual Micra's and Corsa's you're given.

Not mine but my Dad's after some spacker decided to drive into the side of my Dad's car when he was pulling out of a parking spot, they admitted liability so it's all good. He said it goes quite well

Nice

I think the best my mum and dad have been given was an Audi Allroad Quattro with TV reception, went like anything when you stuck it in sport mode

Better than the normal crap, but I used to have one as a pool car in a previous job and I really didn't like it. Given the excuse, I used to take one of the transits as I found them far more manoveurable.

Wow, pretty damn good courtesy car wise. My Dad has a Mk5 Golf GTI and got a 1.2 55PS Polo for a courtesy car

Cool dad, I hope my son can be nearly as proud of my car choice wehn he reaches the age to be interested in cars.

I've been embarrassed by 90% of my dad's cars, i haven't been in a car with him driving for over 10 years as he's a s**t driver !

Must be a good car. Overall he preferred it to an Evo, 350Z and an RX-8. He had an Impreza WRX before.

Never been embarassed about our family cars, with the exception of my mum buying a Hyundai Accent

A while back when mine was in service I was provided with a rather amazing Polo 1.6 105PS sport.

It was so much fun to drive - definately enjoyed thrashing nearly anything that tried to overtake me. It just sucks when you go back to your car, in my case, a car with less than half the HP of the service car

But oh well, I like my car more!
