What Car Do You Drive........?

[ToraToraTora]

Another thread got me chatting about the Jaaaaaaag so I thought I'd see what cars others drive. Post a picture but remember to obscure the plate.

I don't know why German cars have such a hallowed reputation. My pal won't have anything other than VWs and they spend more time at the garage than on the road. It's far eastern makes for me - Toyota/Honda/Kia etc.

Citroen C3 Aircross, at least I will drive it when the RAC guy gets back with the drop link.

Toyota and Subaru in our family. Son's just purchased a Forrester.

[Zacs-Master]

New forester or used MissT?

[MissTerious2]

Used Zac. He also imports rare Subarus from Japan, does them up and sells them on as a lucrative hobby. But the Forrester is for keeps.

[Vagus]

Himself has a Discovery, bought just after lockdown ended when we decided life was too short.
I have a Renault Zoe electric which I absolutely love, and will love even more once I build my driving confidence up.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks, MissT. The new ones aren’t built with the same tank like qualities as the older ones, apparently (but he probably knows that :-))

[MissTerious2]

He has another Subaru for keeps too! He got hold of a Subaru for me about 15 years ago. I can't drive any more. I miss my independence.

[Zacs-Master]

You’re bound to.

[MissTerious2]

It's the tank like properties that he needed Zzc. He's just got rid of his ancient Jeep.

We're on our 4th Skoda Fabia and they've all been brilliant. Current one records average of 55 mpg and the road tax is a mere £20. None of them has ever let us down on a journey. What's not to like?

[MissTerious2]

Our Rav4 was bought because of my disabilities. Worth it's weight in gold. I used to drive it but given up now.

[Zacs-Master]

RAV4s started of as fairly small SUVs. They’re HUGE now.

//RAV4s started of as fairly small SUVs. They’re HUGE now.//

There were originally 2 versions - a 3 door (hairdressers car!) and the 5 door. They dropped the 3 door a long time ago. Mine is quite big but still gets into normal parking slots & being fairly high is much easier for me to get into & out of. MPG ain't great at about 30/32 on diesel. But I don't do high mileage these days.

[davebro]

BTW almost ALL cars have swelled up over time - bigger on the outside but not more roomy inside. Probably summat to do with additional safety zones.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, all cars getting larger. I’ve heard that Ford are dropping the Fiesta and Focus meaning their whole range will be SUV type vehicles.

[MissTerious2]

I can't get into low cars any more Dave or where the doors don't open wide. Our rav4 is 5 door. Our average mileage over the last few years has been under 4000miles.

[davebro]

Yes - bought mine in 2018 & done 20,000 miles in 5 years. Bit reduced mileage due to Covid though.

Had this for a while, parked outside mums shop like my Bond.
