    My 2006 WRX. It 'felt' faster than my 2012 STI because of gearing / stiffness, it had no finicky driver assist BS, and best of all it was hailed on and the insurance company gave me a check and I got to keep the car.

    2005 Chevy Avalanche. It was the nicest driving and most unique looking truck I've ever owned, I wish GM would bring them back.

    I can't say there's anything I actually regret owning though?

    I miss my Land Rover the most. Would have never sold it but had to given the circumstances.

    I don’t miss my Volvo wagon at all. It was a nightmare to get it running

    I miss my Corvette despite being a piece of shit, and my BRZ (before I supercharged it). The one I miss the most though is the S2000.

    Ive only really purchased 4-5 cars in my life
    '90 celica gts - liked the car, guess I miss it
    Inhereted chevy corsica- was a piece of shit but it was free
    2003 hyundai accent gsi - wasn't terrible to bomb around in.
    98 ford escort zx2 - had a cd changer
    02 camry base - was beige with a 5 speed. One of my favorites
    02 infiniti g20 - had an sr20

    Would I buy any of them again? No. Do I regret any of them? Ya, the corsica, but it was free and got me through a year of college.

    Previous to 2013 I never thought I would own Hyundai / Kia. I was swayed when researching a new family SUV in 2013 and ended up with a Santa Fe XL due to the value proposition. It was decent for a while, then many warranty issues, then no warranty, the a destroyed engine @ 150K KM. Never again will anything Korean darken my driveway.

    Most: 98 Forester 5spd. Just a little tank in any condition.
    Least: 2008 E90 M3 6spd. Never liked that transmission paired to the engine. The DCT was a much better experience in the E92.

    Miss the most; Mk4 R32T; pulled like a locomotive, loved the wookie roar, handled well enough, and adored the looks.

    I thought this thread was one miss and one don't miss lol typical beyond changing the rules of the thread.

    I always think about my '90 SW20. Wouldn't be able to have one now with a family, doesn't make sense. I also miss my 2000 Acura TL, that thing drove so nice, even with mediocre coilovers.

    I miss my 2009 S2000 mainly because I sold it for low 30's a few years ago and now it's probably worth 60k or more with this silly car market. I guess I kinda miss the car itself but it was very impractical even as a summer car with young kids.

    Most: 1969 Porsche 912. Drive a VW with dignity.
    Least: 200X Chevy Blazer. Such a massive shit brick. Ran a few tanks thru it in 1 week before I realized it had to go. Gave it away to relatives, who then sold it within a month.

    I miss mine because of how it drove, but also now I can’t even buy the same car for double what I paid for mine in 2015.

    Oh ya I also miss my 94 Celica GT4 WRC. Sold it for 8800 back in 2015. Can't imagine what they're going for now.

    Can't say that I miss the car that much, but my first car was a 1993 Hyundai Excel and that was the car I drove fastest in. Was like a video game, went everywhere with my foot to the floor. Got piles of speeding tickets.

    My 1977 F250 was the most fun to drive. I grinned like an idiot 100% of the time I was behind the wheel.

    Miss my s2k. I wouldn’t want it back though, I’d want an AP2. Also miss my ISF a bit; it wasn’t perfect, but it was a lot of car relative to the running costs (basically nothing).

    Miss the least? ‘00 intrepid. It was the epitome of Chrysler shit heap build quality. Also my S4.. it was a pretty solid DD, fun enough in summer and winter but started falling apart at 100k basically. Maintenance costs not remotely commensurate to driving enjoyment, polar opposite of the ISF in that respect.

    Miss: my first car. Bought with very hard earned money when I was 15, and Pops and I spent 6 months fixing it up for its debut. She was a 2 door 1969 Olds Delta 88 Custom. Darker red with a black vinyl roof and black interior. The heavy beast was powered by a 4 barreled 455 and 400 turbo trans. 8 x 10 Appliance 5 spoke wheels and BF Goodrich TA s rubber. Being a torque monster and filled with Av gas for Friday and Saturday night runs down 7th Ave, she surprised many on the way to the next light. Pissed off a lot of guys too, but the boat had awesome traction and get up and go. She was all smiles per miles. She was the one vehicle I was happy to spend hours just polishing it up on the driveway.

    Don't miss : once owned a mid 70s VW van for 4 months. Not having heat in the winter sucked bad. It was mostly colder inside the friggen thing then outside, and repairs were throwing money at it and hoping for the best. Was very happy to find a buyer that wanted it for parts.

    Miss: my coyote-swapped notchback - sold it to buy a house in TX. Can’t race a house

    Don’t miss: 2016 4Runner Trail. Slow, bad on gas and wife hated it.
