    I drive: KIA EV6.

    What I wish for? A better KIA EV6. I love my EV6, it’s a marvellous car,much more fun than the Audis, BMWs, etc. I drove before. But yet there is room for improvents.

    Have: 2000 Toyota Echo Want: pretty much any used PHEV or electric

    The echo is simple, cheap and robust. But I’d love to stop burning gas for inner city travel.

    a) 2012 Honda CR-V <p> b) 2012 Honda CR-V

    Living the dream - seriously. Cheap, comfy, reliable car that is fairly good on gas. Has bluetooth for music but doesn’t spy on me. Very convenient, secure antitheft system involving a metal key.

      I just moved out of a city with amazing cycling infrastructure to the suburbs of a larger city… this city has okay transit but their cycling infrastructure is basically telling drivers to please not hit cyclists on the shared roads. At least until you get downtown you’ll be meandering through neighbourhoods because they don’t want to take away peoples parking spots on the main roads.

    What I drive: None

    What I want to drive: a Car-free walkable city

    people don’t realise how much better the world would be if we had no cars in cities. You think you do, but you don’t.

    I wish I could drive a car that I could afford. The pricing of vehicles moved to the class above me. I used to be part of the driving class but have been priced out of the game.

    2016 Camry. Love it, zero complaints. Car I wish I had? Slightly newer model as they look super nice but holding out to see how that generation fares with reliability. Otherwise I’ll drive this one til the wheels fall off.

    I drive a car with an internal combustion engine.

    I’d prefer to drive a plug-in hybrid, so I could produce slightly less greenhouse gas.

    But I’d really prefer a walkable neighbourhood with reliable rapid transit. Maybe car sharing for trips.

      Lots of complexity in a hybrid, and gas does eventually go bad if you don’t use it. Though when I used to have a motorcycle it always ran after the winter in the garage so idk how long that actually takes to happen…

        iirc, the bigger problem is that the gas separates out a water layer that can rust your gas tank, allowing rust flakes to clog your carb.

        Apparently Mitsubishis (and others, I assume) are smart enough to use the gas before it goes bad. 🤷‍♂️

    Yoooo … Finally a thread about cars …

    I drive a Manual 2019 Mustang GT convertible I bought of the auction and rebuilt in my apartment … It was tough to find a car in the height of Covid and I had very little wiggle room since I ended up putting a piston thru the block in my 2016 Genesis Coupe …

    And this is the Genny I killed, she had over 120 miles and I was very lazy with maintenance … not that their build quality is the best to begin with

    I have a Mirage G4. It has a five speed transmission. It does not have internet connectivity, it doesn’t have a touchscreen, it doesn’t have keyless ignition, it doesn’t even have a fourth cylinder. It’s as reliable as a hammer, it still gets me over 40 mpg, and it’s paid for.

    Dream vehicle? Any motorcycle. I have one, and I ride it sometimes, but I have a family that cares I’m alive and a lot of you seem to need a phone in your face to drive a car…
