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?

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. 

Great thread.
One of the very few drivers of the short lived Subaru SVX... loved that car. Currently experiencing a first year with the Tesla model X with kookoo mode. Wanted to support North American manufacturing, try electric (perhaps out of guilt of too many years running class-A monoblocks) Best family car ever (for young children) and amazing 4-wheel drive performance for Canadian winters... plus got a great price on a 1 year old used vehicle.
So far impressed, with some small areas of improvement noted.

I ride a motorcycle. I do not have a car. I have a stage 4 1999 Harley Sportster, a 2003 XB9 Buell, and a 2014 Harley Ultra Limited.
