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?

I have trouble sitting in car seats. Then I tried Mercedes. Comfortable, trouble free, safe, fast.

Deja vu. When I bought my one-owner pre-emissions E-type coupe back in the day, I took it up to Santa Barbara for a day trip. Found myself in a parking lot with a dying battery, the ammeter reading -2A. Opened the hood, found something that looked like it could be a voltage regulator, and kicked it.

SPING! The ammeter read +2A. Well, couldn’t have that in my E-type. Not mine. Bought a factory new regulator from the dealer. Next week I was in the same damn parking lot with the same damn problem. Same damn solution too.

But that 2nd gear - 30 to 70 in what felt like negative time. Didn't experience that again until my SLK AMG.

Plus ca change ...
