90k miles for a 10 year old car is pretty impressive. Thats likeā€¦ 18 miles a day!

I have a 2006 Subaru Impreza with 130K and a 2020 Subaru Impreza with 13K.

The 2006 is still my favorite to drive, sheā€™s a manual transmission. The 2020 is my husbandā€™s every day car and my road trip car. I love a Suby.

Wow, lots of car makes Iā€™ve never heard of here. Iā€™m from Ireland so there may be some makes youā€™re not familiar with. Our European members Iā€™m sure will have heard of ours :slightly_smiling_face:

So, as a precursor, myself and my husband donā€™t gravitate towards new cars, we prefer older boxier shape cars. We just much prefer older shapes :heart:

We did have 3 cars, but we recently sold my little town run-around car, it was a Renault Clio and it was impeccable inside. I miss her just to spin into town with. My husband has a Subaru Impreza WRX STI he doesnā€™t use day to day (just a collectorā€™s item thing) and our kiddy bus (I call it that) is an 8 seater hybrid Toyota Estima. Iā€™ve two kids that still need clunky car seats and two adult sons, so I need a three bencher. I am so not a fan of kiddy cars :grimacing:

I really, really miss my big boxy Landover Discovery. I love (older shape) Landrover anything, the newer shapes donā€™t look like hard working vehicles anymore, they look like they are designed for the school run :face_vomiting:
i know we should all be going in the direction of climate friendly cars, but with every fiber of my being I want an older Landrover Range Rover :pensive:

These are all stock pics of their years etc, Iā€™ve nothing in my phone.

2008 Prius. Sheā€™s named PrissšŸ¤£ i love my car. 135,000 miles! I got her used. My only dislike is changing headlight bulbs! I had to do this recently. I had to remove the whole bumper and remove the light fixtures to get the bulbs outā€¦ but i did it myself witn a youtube vidao. My dad would be proud if he were still alive!

Pick one or suggest another. AWD for Canadian winters. Currently have a Bronco Sport and Iā€™m not loving it. Hereā€™s three Iā€™ve been ogling. Likely not upgrading but curious of opinions :laughing:

  • Mustang Mach-E (electric)
  • Lincoln Corsair
  • Audi Q3

Right now a red Volvo 740 from 1996 :blush:
The car inspection guy said he had one of his own, and that itā€™s more or less impossible to kill.
The AC doesnā€™t work, and sometimes it doesnā€™t really want to start. But it was cheap, and it doesnā€™t need any fixinā€™.

We named her Red Danger.

2013 Peugeot 208 VTi.

Nice car, but electrics are really sketchy. Currently the radio doesnā€™t work and Iā€™m fed up of replacing the fuses so we drive in silence :zipper_mouth_face: funnily enough, Iā€™ve gotten really used to it now. The smaller steering wheel is a beauty though, wouldnā€™t go back.

What do you value most?
Reliability, comfort/luxury, safety, design (looks)?
Pick two.

I like the Lincoln. It reminds me of the wifeā€™s Buick encore. Just a bigger stronger version

Wait, pick only two? :laughing:
Great advice, though. I wasnā€™t even thinking of these cars until hubby planted the idea in my head. Heā€™s a Ford guy, and frequently trades in for a new work truck (F550). He got his sales guy to show me the Mach-E which was fun to drive. Weā€™ve got solar panels so that was tempting but I decided Iā€™m not ready. At his last service appointment, he was texting me about the Corsair. Which I thought was an ā€œold lady carā€ until I saw a spiffier one the other day at my oil change (pic below). Audi came up as heā€™d heard an add about 0.98% financing but turns out it is not on the Q3. But I looked at the dealership and was of course smitten.
Iā€™d like something more comfy than my Bronco Sport as I do lots of rural commuting. I do like safety aspects too (protective mum) but I also drive gravel roads to get him to school. Winter driving/AWD essential. Fancy is nice since Iā€™m getting old but not a priority :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Essentially itā€™s likely best to keep my current vehicle, even if I donā€™t love it, as I just paid it off!! But I am still dreaming of a new ride. Kinda miss my Mazda Cx5 and wish I didnā€™t trade.

Toyota 4runner or Highlander. I drive a Toyota Tundra and I am biased and always recommend Toyota because I see them the least in my shop for breakdowns.

VW Golf R Line. Best car Iā€™ve had. :heart: it

Hereā€™s my new car. My old Honda died a couple months ago. So I bought a replacement that is older that my last car.

This is a 2001 Buick Century. I bought it for $1800, and using it for Doordashing. Itā€™s a bit rusty, but it runs good.
