What car do you mainly drive whether it's for work, school, or whatever occasion? I drive a 1998 Ford F-150 and man it's a clumsy drive. It's a stick shift which is actually fun when you master the art of shifting gears (this took me like 3 years haha). It's max speed is like 90 and its acceleration is awful. Despite all this I love it because it's so scrappy. It's gone through so much crap yet it's still works fine to this day.
 
A 2008 Dodge Avenger. It has about 38K miles on it since we got it back in April of last year. My first car was a 2005 BMW 325i, however, it had over 110K miles on it and it kept having problems. Not just that, but it only took premium and German parts are expensive.
 
I had a Volkswagen Jetta but it kept breaking and mechanics couldn't fix it and I ran out of money so I was forced to sell it.

Then my mom took that money too.

Now I ride my moms nice purple bike to work.
 
I used to have a '96 F-150. It was an automatic, so not as bad off the line as yours, NikoKing, but the mileage wasn't that great. It had dual tanks, but I wasn't able to fill them both, so I only used the front one.

Now I have an '09 Toyota Yaris. It's a stick, which was definitely a learning curve! I think I spent the first few months avoiding any hills in town and automatically putting my hazard lights on when I came up to a stop because I'd stall out. Now it's a piece of cake and I love driving it. I especially love the gas mileage! I can get between 3-4 weeks on a tank of gas and it only costs $35 to fill it. The best part is that I got it for free. :D My step-father was looking to trade up to something larger when my old vehicle died the final death. He told me that if he got approved for a loan, he'd turn the Yaris over to me (he'd gotten it from his parents and it was all paid for). Sometimes you end up being under a lucky star.
 
I don't have a car, but if I did, it would be a Mustang or a Viper. My dad drives a 2008 Nissan ROUGE, and my mom drives a 2002 Nissan QUEST. Don't know why I capslocked those...
 
I don't.

I take the bus :D

If I did have a car, I'd prefer it to be one that gets amazing gas mileage and/or preferably solar powered.
 
I will be driving (once I get my licence) a manual- or "stick shift" as you Americans call them- three door, Seat Mii. Technically it's my dad's car but he bought it for me to drive. When my dad has driven it he has averaged 70mpg in one run, which is brilliant considering the fuel tank is tiny and its petrol run so it is really cheap and environmentally friendly to run.
