Depends... For costs, the Civic has set me back four grand since January. But I'd still say my Corsa 1.0 12v  woefully fragile with sensors!

well i sold the beetle because i thought it was too expensive to run as a daily....so the sensible option stayed....ironically the corsa has cost me more that the beetle ever did 
new camshaft and head rebuild, new clutch, new gear linkage, about 3 sensors! blahhhh give me back my beetle

Fiesta 1.0l peice of shit. The drivers handle for the window had fell off and so in the summer (when I had it) it was fucking roasting ad stuck of that classic old ford smell.
Also the car had about 3 different keys to get I and start it and use the boot

Vectra 2.0
It jumped off axle stands!
Headgasket went, spent fortune fixing it with a new head, then that tensioner on the oil pump snapped and did all 16 valves!

S2 Escort RS Turbo, might of been because I didn't know how to work on cars at the time, but I was the only that ever let me down. It never ran right, and it turned out to be a cut and shut.

Seat ibiza cupra tdi
Sounded like a tractor. interior was awful and it sounded like hell, felt like it was falling apart inside. It had no ride comfort at all, it was very crashy which is probably why the interior rattler like hell.

Hmmm...out of the 14 cars I've had, I liked them all in their own way, otherwise I wouldn't have picked them, however my very first corsa which I had for a week(ish) was probably the worst, only because it was utterly fucked Gave it back to the dealer. I loved my 1.2 8v corsa at the time, but it was so embarrassing when I came to the slightest incline and the damn thing would run out of steam so quickly and start slowing down  Used to max out just before 80ish too lol
