What do you drive and why?

The detail that rarely, if ever, gets mentioned about Jaguar E-type is that is unusually spacious inside. For that kind of car, of course. It is slightly tricky to get in, but once inside, there is enough head, elbow, knee, and even foot room for a 190+ cm driver. Way better than any of the newer ones I am aware of. It even has a usable trunk. Cleaning wheels (spokes) is royal pain, though. And it is not hybrid so your mileage will not vary. It will be low.

Same her. I had  a 2014 Forester. Sounded like someone smacking a tin can with a stick when you closed the doors. Driving it was pure misery. I guess different strokes etc.

Yeah, I had the classic Subaru head gasket leak problem. Fixed it once and it started leaking again. When I traded it in the sales guy said, "I can smell a slight bit of anti-freeze, you must have a hose that's loose." I replied, "yup, must be!"

Flapjack and falconquest,
Thanks for the heads up on the Subaru and specifically Forester problems. I will keep an eye on those issues and some other ones I have heard about. I have had two Hondas and one Toyota and really like those brands as well. I think it can be helpful to share stories and experiences about cars without bickering.... such sharing can be useful.

What: 2016 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring sedan

Why: I liked it better than the comparable cars from other brands.
