I didn't see one of these around here so I was just curious. Do the types of cars you drive reflect your personality? What about any mods you've done?
For the people that can't yet drive what kind of car do you want? Why do you want it?

As for me, I would like a 2014-15 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 5.7 HEMI V8 Engine

currently, i have a 99 honda civic. its a stick and i love driving it. its rear doors only open from the inside (not child lock issue). the driver window needs me to pull it up while i close it. the headliner on the sunroof needed to pulled off completely as it was ripping off whenever i touched if making dust fall while driving. its got a solid engine that ive been maintaining. its fantastic on gas. i only drive it to and from work (about 8 miles a day). sometimes, when i drum on the steering wheel, the wipers come on. i have a piece of plastic under the arm that activates the wipers now. the car is green and i have numerous bumper stickers on it. its whats on the inside that counts here :)

this honda is the first CAR ive owned. before that, ive had a 95 grand cherokee loredo, 99 suburban, and a 05 silverado. i drive a truck at work too (a 450xl superduty with a 30' boom). got rid of the silverado due to my commute at the time (80+ miles a day). hence, the car.

id like to get a new car and probably will soon. im looking at something of a hatchback. the mazada 3 hatchback looks great and has really good safety ratings. ive got 2 kids and the youngest is just getting out of her babyseat and into a booster. im also looking at the outback, impreza, civic, and the golf.

I own a 2015 Subaru Impreza 4-door hatchback, 2.0i NA engine. Non turbo, sadly. I named her "Blizzard". She was a total/rebuild from a scrap auction. I payed cash for her when she was a little over a year old and had 11,000 miles on her.
The back of the hatch still needs de-badging. "subaru","Impreza","sport" all of that stuff needs to go. The back logo will be changed out for a white on black subaru constellation retro logo.

That grille has got to go. And that forward facing subaru emblem. Clashes with my white/red theme, you know!?

I would still like to remove the front grille and branding. I plan to buy a straight no branding/no chrome sports mesh grille. The exhaust needs modified for better flow as well. Brakes need painted anodized red. I "could" turbo charge the thing, but kits are upwards of $5000 so I figured I would just save that money for a proper WRX. Sadly they no longer make them in hatchback style.

@Sicklyboy has a sick GBAtemp-mobile.

Wow. Your car eat gas a lot!

I have a cool car that save a lot of gas. Its European car. I drive for 1 week and 1/2 and still have plenty gas left.. Sometimes fully 2 weeks before I gotta gas it. Love my car! Mine is:

Combined MPG: 43

City MPG: 39

Highway MPG: 50

Save mpg is a wise. V8 is not worth and a waste of money.

2016 blue Ford Fiesta hatchback. I love it.

At the moment I dont have a car, but if I coulc I would want to get a 2 door sporty thing, at the moment I would want a Smart Roadster although there a bit old now and I dont know if there any good

If I could have ANY car however, it would be a delorean, I havent decided if I would like it to be wrapped though as Ive seen them in red and they look awsome :)

Had a Mercedes and now a Toyota Rav4 2012.

From my experience with cars there is no need to have one that is expensive and luxurious. Just drive one that is economical and reliable because in the end they are just means of transportation.

Smart roadster is an excellent car. Vey good mpg. You gotta look at mpg for gas saver. I am very experienced of car mechanic and its very important key to buy a car is: A good mpg and better car like European car. I had 2 European cars. I drove for 5 years straight without a problem. Never break down and never had issues. I sold one and get other one and drove for other 5 years and never have a problem either and sold again. Now, I have a car for almost 2 years this October and never have a problem either. Experience and understand how to use the car: mpg, oil, good gas, and etc. That's how you avoid the problems. Again, I prefer MPG saver.. Its very important to save your money for gas because I drive everyday and hanging out with friends every weekends. Its plentiful for me. :)

That Engine has Something called MDS so when not all power is needed it deactivates 4 cylinders so it essentially driving around a 4 cylinder

Heh, I first need to get a license tho. Then I'll likely get something like a Renault Clio from the early 00's. But eventually I'd love to get a Mazda MX-3 with the 1.8l V6.

fuel always costs more than your car during its lifetime of service. it's inevitable that all governments will push electric cars to fight C02 and global warming issues.

iT'S WISE TO grab ur country's incentive if it's still available, which leads immediately save money from FISSILE fuel.
