What do you drive and why?

Accord is most bang for the buck auto in US market .
The most reliable cars are , beyond a doubt  Toyota ,  but Honda is close  and more fun to drive . Mercedes are sucker cars .

2006 Porsche 911 C4S manual. Speed Yellow, Aero Kit, Roof Racks for bikes and ski box. Named "Smiley" by my daughter as he looks like a smiley face. There is no substitute. Just be ready to work on your own car then keeping it in top shape is not that bad. Parts are easy to get.
Everyone who sees the car thinks it is brand new. Goes like a bat out of hell and the ladies love it. I can't get out of a supermarket parking lot without getting hit on. Wish I had the thing when I was 19.

Wrong, Korean cars now most reliable.

You might want to do some research before making that claim.
"The South Korean automakers have now recalled more than 2.3 million vehicles since 2015 to address various engine fire risks in a series of recalls."

Just drove my coworkers 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE. Very nice and quiet car with some luxury touches. Great gas mileage and more power than one would expect from a hybrid car. The only downside is that nothing budget about it. Same $$$ range as a premium SUV. I guess if one keeps it for 10 years the gas savings will equalize the price.

That Toyota will run 20 years .
My neighbor drives his 2001 Camry to work every day , in Twin Cities traffic and weather that’s no mean feat .I’ve driven it , 160,000 miles and running fine .
