Ford Focus Estate 2007 with manual transmission. Love this thing that's worth about the same as my phone. It says I'm practically minded and cheap.

Mk1 and mk2 focuses are the shit. Europe loves em

Later focuses aren't that great? The usual shittification? :(

> wagon that pretends to be an suv Yup. Perfect for light offroading without the SUV tax on maintenence or fuel economy. More importantly, there's a dealership in my town which means five minutes to servicing. > cant stand new subaru infotainment It's always on CarPlay, so couldn't care less. > tech is kinda behind in the car It's a car. It needs to drive. The only surprise is the lane-keeping, which can drive throug…

My main gripe is that it's so much more expensive than it's competition and offers less. Sound system is great though for it's class. I've driven a 23 outback limited

> so much more expensive than it's competition and offers less

I was going between Subaru's and Ford's offerings (again, starting and ending with who had dealerships in my small town, which also included Chevy but I can't remember why I ruled them out or if I explicitly did), and the maintenance chat on the newer Fords was pretty much one way while the Subarus were the other. Fine paying up for not having to randomly take the car into the shop.

Still miss my '03 Jetta, if I'm honest, though I suppose there's no little-sister-untotalling it. (And it wouldn't handle in the snow like something higher up.)

We're a Honda household. I daily a 2007 Civic Si 6-speed. My wife drives a 2014 CR-V. We have the old 2007 Pilot in reserve for hauling stuff and driving in the snow.

My choice of car says I'm frugal and practical. (With the Civic being an Si model I guess maybe a bit impractical too. I didn't seek out the Si, though. I got it cheap and we both love driving manual transmission cars.)
