The first car that I "drove" was an ancient VW Rabbit.
My first car that I owned was a 1995 VW Golf GL.
The first car I drove (the one I'll admit to, anyway) was a 1982 gold VW Rabbit convertible, affectionately referred to as "Honey Bunny". Had her from 6 months after I got my license when I was 15 until I graduated college.
