Does your car match your style? I don't recall a thread like this in the past and thought it might be fun. I love cars but a few unreliable choices have lead me to cherish reliability over style and speed. Also having two little children means that we need more room then a sports car will allow.
Me: 2006 Scion xA
This car was bought new and has 85k miles on it. It has been extremely reliable needing nothing more then gas, oil changes, one new set of brake pads, and wiper blades. It is a little tight with two rear facing car seats in it, but I rarely have the girls in the car.
My Wife: 2011 Ford Escape 2.5 XLT
We bought this as a leftover 2011 last November and got a deal on it. The truck is reliable and large enough for our needs. It is plenty quick and loves to soak up highway miles while returning close to 30 MPG.
We tend to keep cars until their wheels fall off but if we have a third child we are going to get either a new Explorer or Flex. At that point I will drive the Escape. Other options are a fun car for me like a Boxster or Miata to supplement my daily driver, but my wife wants a bigger house first.
