Which car was your favorite among the cars you've owned? | Yakezie Reader Insights | Yakezie Forums

My current car is by far my favorite – a 2007 Volvo V70 Wagon.  It is SAFE, comfortable, the wagon is perfect for hauling the doggies and other large items around, it is regular car height (making it easy for loading and unloading; and a big SUV would be harder for the dogs as they age).  I absolutely LOVE this car! 

This is my 2nd Volvo.  They are a little pricey but it is one of the few items I splurge on.  It is worth it to me to have something that makes me feel safe and is comfortable.  My last Volvo was 11 years old and had over 130,000 miles on it.  It was still in great shape, but the AC died and we couldn't seem to fix it so I decided it was time to get something new.  This current one is a 2007 and has 70,000 miles. 

I've only owned 3 cars, and my current car beats out my first car (because it has vents and gets more than twice the gas mileage.)  In high school my dad rebuilt a 1969 MGB for me, which was awesome. Then I decided to be "practical" and bought a "reliable" 2-door Dodge Colt. I still think that was a lemon, no way should anyone need 3 or 4 clutches in 4 years. I sold that as soon as it was fully paid for and bought my current car, a 1990 Mazda Miata. Awesome fun economy car that looks snazzy too. And has vents + AC, did I mention that?

My favorite car was probably my first one.  It was an early 70's Datsun sedan.  I swear it would dent if you just pushed on it with your hand; it was a tin can.

However, it was my first car and gave me freedom I'd never had before.  I had an 8 track player installed and was queen of my domain.  Good times!

Datsun … isn't that Nissan now?  The early Japanese cars had a distinctive style.. I love that!

Absolute fun car! 

My favorite car to drive is my current 2005 Chevy Impala! It is so powerful and there is plenty of room in the back and the trunk! I'm used to driving tiny, ancient cars so this is quite a change.

Love our 2011 Subaru Outback.  We saved over $9300 by importing it from the US into Canada.  SWEET all the time all wheel drive.  PZEV technology which makes it kinda green.  And we got ours in the colour green, which fits well.

On our site, under the US Car Import page where we have 6 articles.  Totally love this car.

We seriously considered Subaru (the sedan), but wound up with a different car!  If you get snow, Subarus are the way to go!  

Agreed – 4WD not this silly AWD where a computer determines if you need 4WD or not.  I tried to get the Outback to spin out this past winter but had no luck.

My 1997 Chevy Cavalier. So reliable, and it suited me well! I paid $1500 for it with 160,000 miles. I had it for 6 years with minimal work done (like tires, muffler, windshield) and it was up to 220,000 when I sold it for $400 on Craigslist. Woohoo!

I had a 98' that made it through 180k miles before I gave it to a friend in 2007. It was a very reliable car as well. I was a little sad to discover that they discontinued the Cavaliers.
