First car: Talbot Solara 1.6 (1983 or 1981)

Looked like this, except mine was a darker blue, in worse shape and had its steering wheel on the left. It needed a lot of oil and gasoline. Driving felt a bit like driving a tank: no power assisted steering. But it had 5 gears, which wasn't all that common. Used it for 6-7 months, then it was over.
