What do you drive and why?


Just got a 2019 Subaru Forester. Had a 2012 till someone decided to T-bone me on the drivers side. The car held up very well to the impact. Walked away even though the damage was such insurance called it a total loss. Safety was a main consideration in getting the new one, plus the AWD system, improved mileage and reliability of the brand. Had an older Honda CRV (2006) and almost bought another, great small SUV.
So what do you drive and why?

Great thread.
One of the very few drivers of the short lived Subaru SVX... loved that car. Currently experiencing a first year with the Tesla model X with kookoo mode. Wanted to support North American manufacturing, try electric (perhaps out of guilt of too many years running class-A monoblocks) Best family car ever (for young children) and amazing 4-wheel drive performance for Canadian winters... plus got a great price on a 1 year old used vehicle.
So far impressed, with some small areas of improvement noted.

haha... one of only 17k drivers worldwide during the car’s 7 year (?) production run.... a great car, 1st 4 wheel drive “super car”... that got squashed by the unexpected rise of the SUV. Definitely more of a cruiser that an all out sports car, but perfect at the time.
I have an indoor garage with a 220v charger (whatever the stove style plug is) and I do mainly city driving, so I don’t find it hard to keep the Tesla warm. I wouldn’t want to park it outside overnight on a deep freezer night. 
good question re: audio. Mine only does Bluetooth, but I should enquire re: usb connect. 
I discovered the explicit comedy streaming channel and now I spend my drives laughing rather than grooving to music. A real unexpected joy.
