Aww, a turquoise Fiat punto. I loved that car. A tape player, then I upgraded to a cd player where you could take the front off and carry it around in your handbag. And handles to roll down the windows.

It didn't have power steering.

A-Z of various cities

A tartan blanket.
A removable front of the CD player.

(But we still have an A-Z and spare tyre in both cars... and one has a CD player)

A bunch of wires hanging out from under the glove compartment that I was not to touch.

Wind up windows

No power steering

Tape deck

Also the key slot lit up. Best thing ever for someone who drives at night a lot!

I miss my lovely little Proton, it was such a good car, random wires and all ❤️

A physical key to start the engine (one of those that flips out of the remote to start the engine) and a handbrake rather than a button.

notimagain · 22/12/2025 11:32

Most of the above plus a pedal on the floor which you pressed to select dip/full beam on the headlights.

Sprogonthetyne · 22/12/2025 11:33

Mine had so many draws and compartments, like under every seat and under the floor. I learned to drive while I had a toddler and baby on the way, so it was great having spare nappy stuff in one draw, cloths, blankets, food etc, all organised. It was amazing
