What do you drive and why?

Just got a 2019 Subaru Forester. Had a 2012 till someone decided to T-bone me on the drivers side. The car held up very well to the impact. Walked away even though the damage was such insurance called it a total loss. Safety was a main consideration in getting the new one, plus the AWD system, improved mileage and reliability of the brand. Had an older Honda CRV (2006) and almost bought another, great small SUV.
So what do you drive and why?

I did have a BMW   and my present 7 yr old  Nissan does not have what it had , over $ 8,000 in repair bills that  BMW said was normal wear
and tear with less than 30K  miles on it .

Accord is most bang for the buck auto in US market .
The most reliable cars are , beyond a doubt  Toyota ,  but Honda is close  and more fun to drive . Mercedes are sucker cars .
