A 2005 silver Nissan Sentra and I love that it has fantastic gas mileage. I also like that I have 9 speakers, a subwoofer in my trunk, 7 cd changer, and an aux port for my iPod. The trunk is HUGE - much more so than anyone ever thinks and the left rear seat folds down. Oh, I can also drive for about 3 hours at a time without feeling discomfort (that's the longest I've tried for though). It's a little car, but it has heart! His name is Irving. :)
Actually...my entire family drives Nissans. We're big fans. Smaller actually asked if she could have this car when she starts driving since I'll be ready for a new car then. ;)
I drive an UNO MILLE '96. :) I love it because it's high off the ground so we can go to waterfalls and up mountains without worry of taking out the whole bottom of our car! hahaha... I also like it because it can handle the rough Brazilian streets and speedbumps! They are monsters here!!!
2005 Scion XB. I love my car... phenomenal gas mileage and you can easily fit 4 adults in it with room to spare. So what if it looks like a box on wheels?
Typically I drive my Quicksilver (2001 silver Plymouth Neon) and I love her because she responds to me better than any other car. I treat her like a sports car and she drives better for me than most other people.
I also drive Apis' Midnight (2004 black Pontiac Grand Am). I enjoy her because she's a ton of fun to drive and the sun roof is awesome. :)
Full-sized Dodge Ram Pick-up Truck (with 8ft bed). It's an awesome ride, especially on winding country roads. But gas is too expensive to do much driving these days. :(
2002 Mazda MPV Minivan. We call it "The (Insert our last name here) Bus". It wasn't my top vehicle of choice, but with 4 kids to schlep around, there weren't many other options.
But someday, damn it...it'll be a full dress Harley...oh yes, it will.
Brother NX-600Q (http://www.allbrands.com/products/abp05966-0098.html): It handles well, takes the beating I put it through and keeps coming back for more. This is a machine I can grow into and grow with. Besides, it's got a pretty spiffy warranty.
Vehicle: '95 Honda Accord - it's fully loaded, handles well, gets very reasonable gas mileage, is comfortable for long distance travel (9 1/2 hour road trip - one way and I didn't have any back or leg aches) and it hauls all the crap I want to at one time. Besides, I couldn't argue with the price we paid for it. :)
chevy cavalier convertible!!! white with a black top...custom pink seat covers (shocked right? lol)...What I love about it..not like..LOVE..is she is small, sporty and I can put the top down..put in my fave cd and drive the mountain roads and sing-a-long...it is the best cure for a bad day ever!!!! OH and the gas mileage, kicks major booty!
I have both ends of the spectrum. A Toyota Corolla S (great gas mileage, little but fits people comfortably) and then a Jeep Grand Cherokee (not so good on the gas mileage, big, and still fits people comfortably).
What I have is a very battered renault clio, 1.2, 8 valve, bottom of the range, nearly 7 years old with nearly 85k on the clock, which I love because it's been with me since new and we've been through a lot together. It's not too bad on fuel consumption, but it's not the best if you're doing long distance driving at speeds of greater than 40mph on a daily basis.
Electric blue 2002 Audi A4 combi. Fits the skis, the scuba gear, my sister and her dog, my father and his artificial joints, the giant hockey sized work bag full of safety gear, and on one trip all of those at once!
A 1990 Acura Integra GS. The thing is older than people graduating high school (eep, that really puts it in perspective!), but she's still a joy to drive. It's getting to the point where I need to make a repair every so often, but even so, it's been one of the best investments I've ever made. I bought her used nearly ten years ago for five or six grand, and I've certainly gotten my money's worth, and then some. Huge hatchback, vroomy engine, and excellent turning radius makes for happy ldy :)
Toyota Corolla... really good gas mileage, easy to drive, not too big and not too small, easy to maintain, Toyotas hold up really well--repairs are minimal for the most part, easy to have serviced, reasonably priced..
2003 Hyundai Elantra GT, stick shift baby! Why? Cuz my POS 1989 Toyota Celica, also a GT was falling AH-PART!!!
So I swindled the car dealer and dropped it off after I'd made the deal for a trade in, all the way to the dealer I prayed it wouldn' fall apart it was making this horrible noise...oy!
Anyway, it gets good gas mileage it's roomy as hell, has a moon roof, hot ass leather seats, and can haul major ass for a lil 4 banger :D
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4 litre 6 cilinder inline 6.
I've seen a Jeep (my brothers not mine) roll three times end for end, have everyone make it out without a scratch and drive home!! Now that is 5 star safety.
It can go anywhere and do anything while i survive it. I live in northern Ontario you NEED four wheel drive.
I got stuck in 3 feet of mud this past weekend (SO MUCH FUN!!!) and she with some help (thank god for big brothers and their big trucks) got out perfectly fine just a little muddy lol it was great!! I love my old girl.

Date: 2008-08-15 12:47 pm (UTC)I like everything about my car. It's really a joy to drive, and despite its need for premium gasoline- has been very economical.
I LOVE IT!

Date: 2008-08-15 10:13 pm (UTC)Black 2007 Hummer H3.
And I put a red nose and horns on it at Christmas time and turn it into Rudolph the Red Nosed Hummer.
It's a 5 cyclinder and gets 20 mpg for tree huggers wishing to send me hate mail.
