I donāt drive, but our family has a Toyota Corolla.
Toyota vehicles are extremely reliable, and the Corolla offers a lot of bang for the buck.
Our family doesnāt have a lot of money, otherwise weād have a better Toyota like a Camry or maybe a Camry Hybrid or Prius (if we wanted a hybrid). 
19 yr old Toyota Tacoma, because they are well made and we need a truck.295,000 miles, no problems with the powertrain at all, just the usual things that wear over that many miles.
10 year old Honda Fit (Jazz) that doesnāt get used as much, no issues at all. 44,000 miles. Just put a new set of Michelins on it. Fun to drive.
1968 Volvo 122S (Amazon) because I like them and I had one in the 70s that I wish I never sold. A rust free one owner AZ car. Modified for extra fun. True mileage unknown.
3dr Toyota RAV4 on Grabber ATs. It replaced the 3dr RAV4 on Grabber ATs ā05 plate. I got 13 years out of the that one, got the second one with 51.000 miles on it ā06 plate. Reliable, and I know its quirks. Gets me out of sticky fields.
2013 Ford Focus 1.6 TDi simply because I wanted an economical family workhorse. Iāve had it about three years now and plan on keeping it until itās no longer viable. Honestly though, itās comfortable, itās nice to drive and so far itās been reliable so Iām very happy with it.
We drive a Kia EV6. Wonderful car. Smooth drive, easy and fast. Lots of room.
In 1995 I bought a VW Golf Variant 1.9 TDI that gave me almost 330,000 comfortable miles.
Never any big bills, always on-the-fly repairs. Only minus point: it ate waterpumps for breakfast.
But after 15 years it was evenly worn out. It looked as if I had to replace half of the car. Call it a cumulation of normal repairs.
As satisfied VW driver I bought a VW Polo 1.6 TDI in 2010. And I expected the same experience. Wrong.
Iāve payed for a new EGR, AC condensor, and window motor. Even three towtrucks because of malfunctioning injectors (replacement ā¬1,000+).
Never any warranty. They even managed to put in a new timing belt when they just had to replace the fan belt.
I plan to keep the car till I get compensated for diesel-gate, but I have a suspicion their lawyers outlive ours.
My next car will be a Jap or, if I win the lottery, a Merc.
Impressive
Ford Lightning
Why? As my good friend said after a brisk acceleration āI felt my insides move aroundā, and it has Four doors, a ton of storage, and does everything i need a truck for.
I have owned 23 different cars though so where do we get started on thatā¦

2004 Chevy Avalanche most days- Terrible mpg but big and comfortable
2009 Cadillac DTS- Big, comfortable, luxurious, nice weather days
2009 Nissan Xterra- Dedicated fishing vehicle, go anywhere, durable
2011 Ford F-150 ecoboost.
Nissan Livina. Why? Because itās the company car and everything is absolutely free. Gas, taxes, insurance, maintenance, tollbooth tag etc.
Tucked away in a garage is also a BMW E36 and even more tucked a ā78 TA. (Profile picture)

2024 Land Rover Defender D250 SE. And, not a car, a 1984 Harley Davidson Shovel Head FLH. I like them both. The Defender is a very capable and comfortable car - and the FLH is kind of like a pet, I own it since 1993.

2014 Toyota Corolla
Because I wanted cheap maintenance and good gas mileage.
Picked it up in 2018 for $14,000 at ~40k miles. Itās now approaching 80k miles. It has been cheap to run, but the cab noise is quite loud making it basically impossible to listen to quiet music or audiobooks on a long distance run.
My daily driver is a Nissan Navara double cab pick up, its a work vehicle so used for towing and hauling. The wife has a Toyota Yaris Cross, its a hybrid and is perfect for her commuting and family duties. Iāve got a 68 year old Land Rover that Iāve owned for 37 years.
Subaru Outback. Actually my 3rd Subaru now. Itās comfortable, useful, great in our weather here (especially with snow tires), and it and my other subies have been reliable. We also have a great dealer in the area, which is always nice.

2018 Subraru WRX 2.0L 6spd manual. Quick, handles well, has had no major maintenance issues in 80k miles. But Iāve got an irrational hankering to replace it; Hyundai Ioniq 5 appeals as a replacement.
My wife and I have two cars. We picked up a 2007 Volvo xc90 v8 in 2024 and prior to that had a 2002 Subaru Legacy GT wagon for a long time before it got stolen in 2021 and totaled. Now we have the Volvo a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 which I drive mainly (my wife works at home). She had had that car since her mom bought it new in1999. It now has 189,000 miles, 5 speed, I learned to drive stick on it. No power anything (crank windows), no AC, no cd player. I have a love-hate relationship with it. I love that itās paid for (car payments suck), been pretty reliable, fun to drive (light weight, sprightly ztec 2.0 4 cylinder and manual transmission for the win), cheap to run ($40 in gas every 21-25 days), cheap to maintain (can do a lot of maintenance myself), easy to park and maneuvers (it goes places the huge Volvo canāt). I dont like that thereās no AC for summer (turning up the AC means cranking the windows down and driving faster), the ride sucks (could be the worn out suspension and tires though), itās super noisy inside, has multiple water leaks so it smells like a locker room inside, and itās tough to get in and out of (2 door, low to the ground). It owes us nothing at this point though.
