This is the most bizarre car collection I have seen. For example, you have 4 different Porsches, but none of them is super fast. You could have replaced some of them with a Taycan Turbo GT which is both practical and super fast. No model S Plaid either.

There were 5 of us at home, 2 + 3 kids, and we all fitted inside Maluch/polski fiat 126p. We loved it. Couldn’t afford anything else. Kept it until it was sold for about £50 in around 1995. Great memories. 😃😃

[@shemw4626]

childhood memories in Fiat 126p. Mum & Dad, my big sister and our dog going camping for a full month. We would layer sleeping bags, air beds and blankets on the rear seat so high we'd have to bend our heads as there was no clearance for the roof. Tents on the roofbox and all sorts of things along with it. 70 mile journey would take 3-4 hours as the car would overheat from all that load it had to carry. We'd always make it though. Couldn't do it nowdays, me. I'd have a meltdown 😁

[@princejr5812]

My favorite is the GR Yaris. It has everything you need from a sporty car and more. Great color, stays clean for a long time and since it is a Toyota and still new, it will not have a lot of issues in the long run.

As a former auto electrician Matt, there's a zero cost way to test your alternator. After you start your car, remove the positive battery lead. If the car stops, it's the alternator. If it remains running, it's fine.

[@ComeJesusChrist]

I’d remove the overlaps in this collection, get some colour and keep a wildcard/fun choice. A budget-friendly alternative for this collection would be a combination of these: - Smart Fortwo/Polski Fiat/Fiat 500 inc. Abarth/Renault Zoe/BMW i3 (I’d get a 451 Smart Brabus or cheap 71bhp, although we briefly had a Polski Fiat when I was a child but they are no longer cheap) - 996/997 Porsche 911 Turbo/non-turbo models or classic 928 (I’d happily get any of these) - Mercedes SLK 170 (any of the 200/230K, 320 or SLK32 AMG) or an SL350/500. (I had a manual Kompressor SLK and a classic 107 SL, I’d get an SL350 or 500) - Porsche Cayenne (either the big V8 or even a Turbo), MB ML, BMW X5, Cherokee Jeep 4.0, L322 Range Rover, Lada Niva, Mercedes 320/350 CDI estate or E55 estate, Volvo XC70 D5/T5 or Subaru Outback 3.0. (I’d get a Range Rover or a E350CDI. I’ve driven/owned a Jeep, RR, 211/212 MB, Outback, all great cars). On reflection, a Mercedes E350CDI, Smart Fortwo 71bhp non-hybrid and either a Porsche 911 or an SL500 would cost c.£15/20k with the a Porsche or £10/15k with an SL. I’d get something fun and unusual to replace one of these eventually or replace the SL/Porsche with an XKR. This is still cheaper than the first annual depreciation on a family car, especially on an EV these days. If money’s tight, get a Boxer/SLK and a Merc or a Volvo estate or a Subaru Outback 3.0 (avoid the four cylinder 2.5!). I just wanted to make the point that there are brilliant older cars at very affordable prices that are not far from the experience of a collection like this.

[@denalisiomontpellier4064]

nissan gloria, subaru exiga, toyota caldina, velar sva, aston martin DBX with 6 cylinder engine, RS6 avant plus, M5 manual US specs, cls 63 amg shooting brake s rhd, last gen 9-5 sport combi, bmw 435i xdrive cabrio with manual, maloo GTS, are some collectable cars. Not a smart fortwo, an SLK, or a renault zoe, lol

[@ComeJesusChrist]

@@denalisiomontpellier4064You must be posting from the US, I was suggesting options that are in keep with the spirit of Matt’s collection (including small EVs and the Polski Fiat), but on a tight budget. Besides, I was recommending budget options that at current price, would make a not very different collection attainable at around £15k. When you are recommending an Aston Martin, you are ignoring what my post was about. I don’t like EVs, but I included a couple as driving in certain cities in the UK is becoming expensive, unless one’s strategic and I wanted alternatives to substitute the Ami and the other hatchbacks in Matt’s collection. A cheap Zoe or i3 would still tick the EV box. Otherwise, I included large family AWD/estate, convertible and sports coupe options on a small budget. Many of your recommendations are not even available in the UK and are significantly higher in price. Again, apart from the 911/928s and the i3, all cars on my list can be bought for around £3-4k or below. I do like the CLS63 and I was actually looking at them a few days ago. The cheapest was around £20k.
