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?

jbmac75,

I turn my head to take another look at every Impala that passes me by, whichever direction.

“Englishness” probably means a lot of fun to have in the shop.
For whatever reason, it seems that they have improved lately. And now they are even outsourcing engines so reliability may improve further.

My entire Austin Healey exhaust system fell off during a trip back East and another time both clutch and brakes failed simultaneously whilst tootling down the highway due to the space saving collocation of both master cylinders. Heaven forbid I would drive over a puddle in the road. My Triumph 7 overheated and caught fire 🔥 ....probably just bad luck.
