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?

@ tecknik- Smart life choices! Must admit I'm a little jealous...

This is definitely an interesting thread, perhaps even more interesting if it were titled What cars have you owned?
The reason being, I'm currently driving a VW Jetta and completely happy with it, but previously have owned lots of German cars including two BMW M3s (for serious speeding), and a modified Land Rover Discovery (for serious off-roading).

Happy motoring!

2015 “50 years” edition Mustang GT Premium, 6 speed, in Competition Orange. I was born in 1965, and have loved Mustangs since I was 7 years old... one year before I fell in love with my dad’s stereo system! Lol. My wife drives our VW Jetta. This year I plan on getting a Tahoe or Suburban... we have ten grandkids to cart around. Only the littlest ones can fit in the back of the Mustang :)
cpcarter2....*G* That's a thought...whereas audio thrills are primarily cerebral, vehicles are the visceral end with a certain level of 'high speed chess' thrown in.  Mixing both in excess, however...can be nearly as bad as cell-phone distraction....

Enjoy your Vivaldi, but Beware Self-imposed Vivisection.
Can't fight the feeling that even with pictures I would still rather be on BaT.
Me: Buick Enclave. Because I move lotsa stuff. (And I love it)
Wife: Audi TT. Because it’s SO DAMN MUCH FUN!!! And fuel efficient to boot!
