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'm in sales and drive lots of miles. Just bought my third Honda CRV. The first two I drove to well over 200,000 miles. REEEEALLY wanted a new Passport but found a remaining 2018 CRV for $8600.00 less so I couldn't justify the additional expense. Ended up paying $99.00 more than my 2012 so I can't complain. The CRV has been very reliable with a low cost of maintenance. I owned a Subaru once and never again.

For the English car nuts (including me), my cousin alsays said his MGB had electrics by Lucas, the Prince of Darkness.  His MGB came with a 3 position switch, dim, flicker and off.

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.
