What do you drive?

[Wendy]

I haven’t owned a car in several years; living in Manhattan taught me that I don’t need one.

If I bought a vehicle I’d probably go with an entry-level Mercedes like a C300.

2008 Ford Fusion. With a sunroof!

As for upgrading to a more prestigious vehicle, I have a child who will very likely be starting kindergarten at a private school next year. That will be a chunk of change and then some. You 20-something youngsters contemplating a fancy car might well consider saving the money for expenses you haven’t started thinking about.

represent! 2011 VW Jetta financed at 0%. i’ll take 0% all day, says the banks.

You realise that you paid up front for that 0%, right?

i guess, but the year i bought it, the jetta came with a $3000 price drop (due to migration of production to Mexico), 0% financing and an overhaul of how the car looked for the better. you could say $3000 plus 0% or you could say $3400 in savings overall but its the same either way. i wouldn’t have been able to buy used for cheaper, so buying used and getting a loan at 4%+ wouldn’t have made sense.

“entry-level”. The marketing has been effective I see…

I’ll give you three guesses . . . but the first two don’t count.

Is it a Honda?

Lol. I told my friend I was thinking of getting a mustang, and he suggested i think of the future and get a minivan. it was a dafuq moment. anyways, my camry is at 100k miles, at 15k/year. It gon die soon. But i saw sumone mention the elantra. I was thinking of going the hyundai sonata, they got pretty good ratings. kind of funny that everyone on here has good old regular cars. I thought youd all be driving a beamer benz or bentley.

@Greenman72

^Somebody sounds very sad and bitter.

And the only reason I drive an economy compact car is because I can’t afford a minivan.

I rented a Hyundai Elantra (the one that looks like Pikachu) when I went to Southern California. I must say that I did not like the car too much. The handling was too soft and unsettling. Hyundai Sonata, on the other hand, felt solid and had adequate power, even if the car was not particularly dynamic. This was a couple of generations ago, so I assume they’ve only gotten better since then.

Because a man can’t be happy or social without attaching himself to one woman for eternity, right?

Its a joke.

The well eventually runs dry for almost everyone, but I’m sure you’ll be having a blast nailing 'em left and right at the nursing home. I’d prefer to spend my later years surrounded by my wife, kids, and hopefully grand kids, but to each his own.

I mean, am I going to be hitting up bars when I’m 50 chasing tail? Be that old guy at the club? No thank you.

You adapt. Volunteer events, churches, art galleries, lounges, social gatherings, tutoring. The numbers are actually more on your side at that age. Single men outnumber single women in their 20s but the opposite happens in your 40s and above.

Get married because you want to not because you’re scared to be that old guy at the club. You will have other alternatives at that age to meet people than hanging out at clubs.

That’s one.

Toyota Corolla with 150K miles. Bought it during the crisis when the used car market took a plunge for 50% of the sticker price with only 15K miles ha ha

The fifth generation really stepped its game up. I test drove both that and the sonata and opted for the elantra. Although the sonata is a better car, I couldn’t justify the extra cost for just a little more room and power. And hyundai has great warranties

I drive one of the very last 2011 E90 M3s manufactured. It’s been a fun 30,000 miles. The sound of a V8 at 8,300 rpm is simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

MGB GT - I don’t need a car for getting around so this is more a weekend toy thing.

Is there something built into the car that requires you to get the left lane immediately upon entering a highway?
