What do you all drive?

[bushwhacker]

2000 VW Jetta, last me 1K KM on diesel. Pretty miser, aren't they?!

 

[jhmed]

I have a daily driver 1988 Civic Station Wagon that I drive back and forth to my clients, and then I have my "Baby": a 1990 Honda CR-X SiR that I imported to Canada from Japan. She is right-hand-drive, with a 160HP 1.6L engine -- nothing fancy, but enough to be fun without getting me into too much trouble hehe. I am in the process of restoring her.

My fiance just picked up a 2000 CR-V. Her 1999 was totalled in August when some guy rear ended her so hard it made a "CRV Sandwich". Luckily everyone was ok. And she also has an '82 Toyota pickup that has been in her family since new (only has about 90,000km's on it too!)

I debated about sharing this information but I might as well.

Due to a mistake I made last night, my truck managed to total itself. I backed into my garage and apparently didn't put it in gear (standard trans) or put the parking break on. Left the garage door opened. A few minutes later I go out to the garage and no more truck, it rolled 478 feet down a hill and hit a big ditch with a vertical wall, probably hit at 25-30mph. Completely destroyed. I think thats about all I'll say on it until insurance claim goes through.

Needless to say, I'm in the market for a small car that gets good gas mileage and isn't a hatchback (Unless its a VW GTI, but those are out of my price range).

Well, figured its time to liven this thread up a bit.

Story behind that in the quote above.

Currently driving a 2002 Honda Civic LX. Gets pretty good gas mileage (I've gotten anywhere from 31.5 to 37.5 mpg on a tank). My only complaints are it doesn't look real good, I mean it looks great for a Civic LX (its in perfect condition), but its an LX...

Also, ravi2sunny, I don't think your reply was meant to be a kick in the chops, which is why I didn't respond to it. Hopefully I'm correct.

[xFallenAngelx]

1996 5speed Mazda MX-6 RS (no v6 )

 

[Blind Dragon]

I had a 99 Civic Si, was probably the funnest car I ever owned. Bought it with 11k miles and sold it with over 170k miles, never really had any problems other than replacing the clutch. Got rid of it 2 years ago because children and still miss it very much. Kids seats wouldn't fit

Since then I bought a 2001 C240 Benz which I still have and a 2004 Toyota Tacoma pickup which I still have

[Thrudd]

1999 VW Golf Wolfsberg - Red w sunroof - Automatic .... Upgraded the tires ... fun drive for a non-stick person like myself.

2007 Pontiac Wave - Company car - its a nice kite on the 400 highway >.< - comfort designed by DeSadd I beleive, as much guts as an earthworm and the only thing automatic is the transmission and even that is questionable =/

[SNGX1275]

I almost got one of those Mildew, but after my unfortunate incident with my truck (see earlier posts) I needed to buy something pretty quick, so I didn't have time to do too much shopping around. Plus I live about 2 hours away from anyplace that has anyone that wants to sell.

I would have been looking for a 2002 or newer Jetta TDI.

 

[Ididmyc600]

I did, up to last week drive a Ford Mondeo 2 litre diesel estate but look what I did to it.







In case your wondering how it happened

I misjudged the gap between a car parked on the left of the road and on coming traffic, I came to a stop with the car angled right to the white line, then some goon in a mini transit ran into the side of me.

No whiplash just a whopping big bruise on the forehead...all who saw it said I was lucky to walk away from it.

Mind you ive had 6 years of driving company cars without a crash (yep it was a company car so its not my loss).

Only drawback is they have hired me a dam Vauxhall Vectra....

lexus is300 2001 selling it though..plan on getting a bmw m3

Nice stuff, although if I were you I would get a 335i that offers a softer ride than the more expensive and powerful M3.

Sure with the M3 you get to brag a whole lot more but from my personal experience with my sedan 330i which I bought almost immediately after those went on sale in 2005, the flat-run tires really stink in general if you want a smoother ride in all kind of pavement, even more so after the first 5,000 miles.

I will be selling my BMW soon, overall it's been a great car but moving to South America on a permanent basis I may be better off buying an SUV.

 

[twite]

Going from an is300 (recently sold mine for a g35 coupe), i' m guessing he is going for power more then anything. The IS is a very smooth, powerful car, very similar to that of the 335i. The M3 (e46 i' m guessing) is defiantly a more race tuned car, everything from the beastly engine, to the tight tuned suspension. I would take the 335i over the m3, but only because of the 335's beautiful appearance. I do have to say it is one of the most beautiful BMW's ever produced.

I've got a 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee,05 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Quad cab,79 Full Size GMC Jimmy (a real gas hog)but people get out of my way,and a 86 Vette.
