Ok the cars I have owned that have not been company cars or technically the wife's.
2003 Hyundai Coupe SE
1999 Lexus IS200
2004 BMW 330I Sport
2003 Maserati Coupe GT
My favourite still is the Lexus. I kind of miss that car all the time... Simple, reliable, great manual box, fun handling... High revving 2.0 inline 6 engine really did sing and over 50mph it wasn't a slouch - just slow up to 30mph really due to the lack of power low down. It had some thirst for fuel, only beaten by the Maserati
My wife has only been driving for 9 years and she has had a pretty interesting car history so far
1999 Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI 140bhp
2012 VW Scirrocco 2.0 TSi R-Line 210ps
2010 Mercedes CLS 350CDi Grand Edition - with Brabus eco tune
2013 BMW Alpina D5 Bi-Turbo
Company cars I have had:
2013 Ford Focus ecoboost diesel
2010 BMW 318d Touring SE (e90)
2015 BMW 318d Touring Sport (F30)
2017 Audi A4 2.0 diesel 190ps
2018 Jaguar XE Prestige 2.0 180ps
From 2020 I switched to company car allowance to no longer be ripped off by the HMRC for a car I don't want lol. My wife and I share the Alpina as a daily.
