    I’m driving an orange MG4.

    I moved back in France almost a year ago and needed a family car, I wanted a car that would serve me for at least the next decade.

    For me anything else than an EV was not making sense so I got the second cheapest EV I could get at the time.

    I got it new because at the time second hand EVs were almost or even more expensive than getting a new one.

    We were until recently a one car household (my wife and I both work from home). So I drove a 2019 Toyota Camry. Why? Because that’s what my wife wanted.

    My sister got a new car so I bought her old one off of her so I could have a backup on the rare times we needed two. It’s a 2012 Ford Fiesta. Why? Because it was cheap ($2k) and it gets good gas mileage. I also like the car because I’m a minimalist at heart. It’s very simple and I like that.

    2022 Polestar 2 with all the options. I think the Polestar is super cool, and I didn’t want to replace my Tesla with another Tesla. I got it used last August for $36k, because used rentals were flooding the market. This car goes for $70k new, but it is not worth anywhere near that

    Daily: 2011 Subaru STi wagon. It’s fun, speedy, has excellent traction for the mountains and snow where I live, and can transport 4 people with snowboarding gear.

    Fun: 1955 Caddie. My great uncle bought it new so this is nostalgic.

    Moto: 1982 Yamaha XS650. I use this for joy rides in the mountains and to save on gas

    None. I have a license but driving stresses me the fuck out. I have an old bike.

    2019 Škoda Fabia Monte-Carlo Edition.

    It’s a relatively small car, but bigger on the inside, allowing my 6.5 feet (1.98m) and considerable bulk to sit comfortably and commute a route where sadly public transit isn’t an option. It’s only drinking 5.5l per 100km (4.277 42.77 mpg) and I have had good experiences with that model in the past in regards to the cost of maintenance.

    I can go 200km/h (125 mph) (downhill and with a tailwind) and the sporty features (manual transmission, sports suspension, sports seating, stronger engine and spoiler) are really nice when going quickly around corners on country roads or speeding down the Autobahn.

    1997 Mazda Miata. Simple, reliable, easy to repair, incredible aftermarket support, huge community with a ton of knowledge, and an absolute joy to drive.

    Plus the headlights go up and down.

    A 2005 Seat Leon TDI. It was cheap, uses little fuel and is reliable. In the summer I drive our 1988 Trabant 601. It’s fun and tiny, but definitely not reliable.

    Though after moving to a bigger city from the countryside, my main modes of transportation have become my bike and a tram, the car is only for when I visit my parents where no public transport goes
