I have a volvo c30 T5 manual face lift edition as a daily driver. Its fun but not comfortable.
I wish I had a volvo s60 T5 classic with an automatic gearbox as a daily driver and the c30 could be my toy car for hard driving and track days.
Toyota RAV4, and maybe a slightly nicer Toyota. Because I’ve been a Toyota stan since high school. Those dudes know how to make a fine machine.
My parents have 2 different model RAV4s (cuz you need a car to do anything around here)
It’s funny how I always see them on the road and be like “OMG do they have the same car as we have? Why did it suddently get popular? Are they just copying our choices?” lmfao
My daily a 2025 GR Corolla, my toy is a 2013 Audi TTRS, my dream is a 1968 Ford GT40.
2019 Audi A4. Wish it was an RS7
Ford transit camper, couldn’t be happier with it
Have: PHEV Crossover with enough ev range to get me 99% of the places I need
Want: public transit for 98% of my travel, and a cheap sports car like a miata for the weekends or any long trips I might take
Currently driving: no car
Car I wish I had: not applicable
I have 99 Dodge Ram with a 24 valve Cummins. I love diesel, but I wish it was newer. It only has a half back seat and I have two kids. I wouldn’t even mind the emission controls.
Most of the time, I don’t need a car, nor do I have a good place to put one. When I do need one, I rent one. When I can, I rent a fun one (last: 2018 BMW M4 Competition convertible).
If it made sense to own a car in my current situation, I really enjoyed the C7 Corvette I rented. I thought it was more fun to drive than the C8.
Fuel, electric
I’ll also take autonomous. No, a horse with umbrella doesn’t count!!
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.
More than I need anymore. None.
I’m looking for a new vehicle. The f150 surrendered, wanting something small this time so I can drive into the city and not spend a week’s pay on gas.
Check out the maverick, it has all the utility of a truck with all the economy and comfort of a smaller car. It’s kind of a hybrid minivan with a bed, but TBH most people that buy trucks are not really using the bed.
Yeah, I rarely used it as a truck. I was sharing it with my roommates that did. But, now I just want a small car that can comfortably travel in harsh winters. Lasted a long time though, I’ll miss it.
Currently a Chevy Volt 2017. PHEV. I want a fully electric vehicle but the best current options now are Tesla and I’d prefer not to give musk any money, even if indirect through a used car purchase. So the long wait for others to catch up continues.
Renault 5 Alpine EV coming to Canada in 2029.
Cool. But still a long time from now.
I currently drive a 2013 corolla as a commuter, a 2005 converted econoline wheelchair van as my house, and an XT225 dual sport for fun/errands, and an old racing bicycle I’ve turned into a commuter.
I think it would be nice to upgrade to an actual commuter - possibly ebike - with a frame sized for my body. At 6’4", it is difficult to find frames that fit on the used market.
My dream moto is a WR250R. Still light and nimble enough to rip it on trails, but with better specs for riding on the highway so I can zip into town to refill groceries when I’m parked at remote campsites. An electric option would be super cool here, too - but atm, you still can’t beat the energy density of petrochemicals.
I think it must be a sign of my approaching middle age that I am becoming increasingly enamored with the idea of 4x4 muscle cars. Yes, they are completely impractical, but imagine: a 1970 El Camino with a slight lift and oversized, street-legal knobbies. Slight lift, but more dune buggy than monster truck, with fender wheel wells sized up to account for extra tire size and travel. Paint it Hayduke blue, and let the paint fade to reveal a stylish rust patina. Runs as a commuter, a friend-hauler (just jump in the bed!), a work truck, and an adventure vehicle. Build out a custom slide in camper (with the Camino’s low roof, you could sit up in bed!), and it becomes awesome for hanging in the mountains or desert for months at a time as well. And I could drive it from Prudoe Bay to Cancun and get compliments all the way from Alaskan natives, canuck mounties, Portland hipsters, river rats, desert ravers, dads in the grocery store parking lot, tejano mamacitas, mustascioed vaqueros, cartel foot soldiers, and spring breakers in tiny bikinis. Of course, electrification would also be a great enhancement here, but again, energy density.
