I was going to take it in a 1987 Toyota Camry, manual transmission, but the clutch burned up (not my fault... Maybe), and my parents didn't want to get it fixed. I took the test in the driving school's only manual transmission car, which was... A gray sedan, with a second brake pedal for the passenger.
A Buick Roadmaster Estate Master...thing cornered like an ocean liner... floor it and like in fifteen minutes we'd be doing 60 mph. Every ten minutes we'd have to get out and pledge the sides... because of the 'wooden' sides.
Toyota Yaris
VW Golf, silver colour.
Kia Amanti
It was a pretty new Audi Q5 from the drivers school. This was in 2016
My mother's car, a 1981 or so Dodge Aries K-car. I guess those who went to a driving school got their license from there as well? Back then we just got a short course in high school, drove a few times with the instructor, and then had to go to the DMV with our own car to do the actual test.
It took two times. The first time I had trouble starting the car (because it was a Dodge/Chrysler POS) so that instructor denied me after the third try at cranking it. Of course it rattled 17 year old me. Second time (different place, different instructor) went a lot smoother, only issue was my slamming on brakes for a red light, but that probably helped me rather than running it.
I think it was a 2010 Camaro
'96 Saturn Wagon in red. Mom bought it after a car accident left her unable to drive a manual transmission for a year when I was a freshman. She made me learn to drive in it, then as soon as I passed my test she brought herself a brand new Honda CRV with manual transmission and gave me the Saturn. I drove it until I finished graduate school in 06, I gave the Saturn back and she gave me $15k to buy a new car of my choice as a graduation present. My new husband and I chose a Ford Focus wagon, manual transmission, which we drove happily until it's final demise in 2023. Mom sold the Saturn to a friend in the next state of over for a few grand but she drove the poor thing into a flooded road and killed it less than a year later.
I used to have a little Saturn stick shift. It was the best car I ever had. Hated to see them go out of business.
Shitheap.
Mark 2 Volkswagen Polo.
Like most Brits, a Vauxhall (Opel) Corsa.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1998 model I think
1969 Mustang
1998 Ford Escape. Pretty reliable car as long as we kept driving it. My mom sold it to a friend for $500 in 2020. He went on vacation for a week and it died 😆
1993 Dodge Caravan
2001 Pontiac Grand Prix I'll never forget, hell of a car
2001 Yaris TS 1.5
Manual transmission, 1982 SAAB 900. It was canary yellow in 1981 when it was made. It was what I called dog puke yellow by the time I learned to drive in '95-'96.
AKA a sturdy shitbox
AMC Hornet. '70-ish
2017 Dacia Sandero.
The car i'm failed my drivers test was a Ford Ranger.
Plymouth Duster
VW Passat (2005 I think)
Daihatsu Sirion, the 2005 model
2011-ish Mazda 3
'99 Renault Megane scenic 1.9D (manual)
it was dangerously slow. And I failed my first test because of it. I was supposed to merge in front of a truck, but i simply couldn't get up to speed in the space i had. The exam lady refused to believe me that it couldn't.
