    I drive a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai has really come a long way in terms of both reputation and reliability. The thing I value the most in a car is a minimum of problems in terms of breakdowns, replacing parts, maintenance, etc. And my Hyundai definitely delivers.

    [​IMG] A Pride Quantum 610 for around town, it's a good model with great handling and I've only mown down one person in it so far.

    For off-road use I have a Wheeltech Enigma with a dodgy set of front wheels, the handling isn't brilliant as the engine in that one is a man who gets distracted by shiny objects and manages to find every single pothole in in a straightish line.

    Overall chicks dig the wheels though. :roll:

    Usually a Honda Accord. Sometimes for roadtrips with the family, I drive the mini-van - a Toyota Sienna.

    There's some bloody big engines in this list.

    Very nice car though, Splunge. You win the thread!

    Thanks. As an aside, I like to call my 2002 Toyota Camry with a busted up fender an Aston Martin Rapide. :D

    (I definitely need to look for a new car.)

    God damn Splunge - that's like a $200K car - it's worth almost as much as my house. (And possibly more in a year or two given the current housing market plunge.)

    No wheels, only feet. I did have a bicycle a few years ago though. Public transportation (train) for any longer trips.

    Public transportation stole your bike two weeks ago?! What a sneaky way to increase ridership! ;)

    I still have my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS

    1999 Mitsu Eclipse. It's 12 years old but it's paid for. I promised the wife I would buy a new car this year, but I'm still putting it off for as long as I can. I like life without car payments. Besides, I wouldn't know what to get. I haven't paid any attention to car/brand/models for years. Whatever it will be it has to have a stick. I despise driving an auto trans. Even Mrs. Chandos' SUV has a 5 speed manual trans; I made sure of that. ;)

    If anyone takes anything Splunge says seriously, they should have their sanity examined. Seriously, you should know that by now. (AFI - I am especially looking at YOU!)

    Oh, definitely. They're getting more and more rare though. When I bought my Eclipse all those years ago, they didn't even have a manual on the lot. I test drove the auto with the shift gate and hated it, so I asked them if I could test drive a manual from the year before's model since there was basically no change. Much better.

    I'm selling my Opel (Vauxhall) Astra... it's in remarkably good shape for a 1997 car, but I think it's time for something a bit more modern.
