Your auto- what you're driving now

[papadad111]

Every year we get a thread going about what we drive. Summer driving season is here. Thought I would start one for this year. Cars only. We can do a separate motorcycle or alt vehicle thread too...

1. 1966 mustang fully restored. 3 speed manual, 289, 2bbl 78K orig. had for 20 years and holding. Value keeps going up.

2. 2013 Toyota Corolla 15K
3. 2001 Honda CR-V (DW). 120k- time for water pump and timing belt preventative maintenance.
4. 2001 PT cruiser. (DS1). 115k, just totaled by dear son. Bought from insurance co and now we also bought a $700 beater PT same year to parts swap and get his going again.

5. 1994 Subaru Legacy. 150K. Just replaced front half-axles and transfer case seals. Should be good for another 50-100k I hope. (DS2) Best snow car ever EVER.. Love that old piece of hoopdie swag!!!

You ?

2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring - 25K miles and has enough room with the rear seats down to carry our tandem bicycle (with the wheels off).

We're 9 months into the one car experiment and it seems to be working for us.

 

[COcheesehead]

2016 BMW 228 is my car. My wife has the snow cruiser: a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Limited.

 

[Ronstar]

2001 Corvette
2009 F-150
2012 Acura TL (DW)
2001 Acura CL (Az car)

 

[6miths]

2007 Acura CSX 150k miles (mine - this is a Canada only tuner version of the Civic)
2014 Honda Odyssey 33k miles (DW)
2013 Hyundai Elantra GT 35k miles (4 kids share)

2009 dark gray Toyota Venza with I think 23,600 miles on it (don't make me go out there to check! ). Picture below is from 2010 but it looks about the same.

I like having a new car, and this one is 7 years old; ugh, not new any more. I love having the remote entry and push button ignition, but I dislike some of the other electronics that I feel takes too many decisions away from me. But when I looked, nothing I have seen at Edmunds dot com looked any better to me.

We live in a fairly urban suburb, and everything we could possibly need or want is nearby. That's why the mileage is low.

1995 Dodge Ram PU - 160k miles. Still runs great. Will probably be the car we let our son drive if/when we let him get a license. (He's 15yo and we've started discussing learners permits... but I'm in denial about this.) Sometimes we go weeks without driving this, these days.

2006 (bought in 2005) toyota highlander hybrid. 103k miles. Our main driver.

We've talked about going to 1 car in the future. But teenagers who will be driving soon are holding us back.

Both cars are garaged.

2003 Ford Taurus.

 

[Souschef]

I have a 2003 Hyundai Accent with 75 K miles
My wife has a 1998 Cadillac Sedan DeVille with 105K Miles.
She hates riding in my car. She calls it a "sewing machine"

2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring - 25K miles and has enough room with the rear seats down to carry our tandem bicycle (with the wheels off).

We're 9 months into the one car experiment and it seems to be working for us.

One car??

One person - 3 cars here. 2004 Audi TT 60,000 miles, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 49,000 miles (my daily driver), 1992 Ford F250 160,000 miles (my plow truck and construction hauler.) Between maintenance costs and insurance, especially on the Audi, I spend a bunch of money each year on cars.

 

[LuckyDog]

2015 Toyota Tacoma with 13K miles(gave the 2004 w/170K to #1 daughter)

DW drives a 2015 Mazda CX5 with 19K miles

4 wheel drive on both since we live in snow country...

DH drives a 2004 Ford F 150 and a 1998 Harley Road King

My DD is a 2000 Nissan Xterra 4x4 with 139k miles.

My DW drives a 2005 Honda Odyssey with 136k miles. Both were bought new.

My oldest is 12. I'll probably buy a new car when she turns 16, and let her drive the Xterra.

 

[aja8888]

My 2003 VW Jetta TDI with 300,049 miles on it (recent purchase and summer restoration project).

2004 Subaru Forester XT 95K miles. Expect to put on 2-3K miles per year going forward so should last a long time. Planning to reduce insurance coverage to save money.

 

[Disappointed]

I had a similar Mustang in 1974, automatic, same color.

Now driving MBZ 2012 E350 Coupe. My wife just got a brand new 2016 MBZ GLC 300.

I just replaced my aging Silverado with a 2014 Sierra that had 12k on it. We are currently giving it a break in trip, KC to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I've driven 1000 miles in two days, pretty impressed with the truck. DW has a 2010 Wrangler with 13k on it, she's considering selling it.

 

[FIREd]

DW and I share a 2010 Mazda Miata with 20K on it.

In the order purchased:

2005 Ford Freestar minivan, 116K miles, purchased in 2007, just got the state inspection, it'll be going up for sale in near future but sons drive it to summer jobs.

2011 Kia Sedona minivan, 30K miles, purchased in 2013, my primary driver.

2012 Hyundia Santa Fe, 42K miles, purchased Jan 2016, my wife's car.

2010 Mercury Mariner SUV, 36K miles, purchased last week, used by sons to summer jobs.

I'm the OP on a survey last fall asking what is the most folks ever spent on a car. Confirmed that I'm quite an outlier as I've never spent over $20K on a car. Old habits die hard, even though just purchased two cars this year, still haven't spent over $20K.
