Likes: exterior styling, ride quality, the smooth acceleration of the engine
Dislikes: it has bad blind spots at the C pillar, the trunk has no key lock cylinder so if the battery dies, which is in the trunk, it will be hard to access.
Things I like about it:
1) AWD
2) Handling
3) Cornering
4) Fuel Efficient
5) Great Cabin Layout And Cargo Hauling Capability
6) Reliability- Above Average
7) Bad Weather Capability/ Handling On Gravel and Dirt Roads
Things I dislike about it:
1) Parts tend to be more expensive (when something does need fixed).
2) Not a fan of the brakes, too soft for this vehicle.
3) Back-light went out on stock audio panel, can't be replaced without replacing the unit.
4) Tires tend to be a bit more expensive, but that comes with the territory.
5) Not the most comfortable seating position for city driving, oddly enough more comfortable on longer trips.
Reasonable gas mileage, great for the size of the vehicle.
Can accelerate up a hill unlike my old Saturn
Amazingly reliable.
Built in the USA
Inexpensive enough that if it has a accident I can afford to replace it with a identical car if I wished. (Kelly blue book for a excellent condition one is about 3K)
Comfortable.
Its got power steering, locks, etc. But it doesn't go into the truly fancy things. Theres a version with a HUD that I would have preferred, but this one had some sentiment to it that caused the purchase. It was owned by someone I personally respected who passed away, and I purchased it from his family.
I suspect my next vehicle will be electric. Less moving parts should mean a even higher reliability.
Minuses (actually minus, since there's only one thing I don't like about it): it doesn't have the remote keyless entry. I have no idea why, but it came that way. I haven't gotten one yet, and it's a PITA not having one.
Pluses: Very low miles (71K when I got it last year)
Great gas mileage
Doesn't have all that fancy computerized BS and because it's older, the maintenance costs are lower
Great daily and doggie driver
Black, my favorite color
Incredible horsepower since it has the V6
And best of all, it's way better than the Mazda CX-7 I dumped on my ex-husband in the divorce
Likes: awd, good pickup, very easy to drive, keyless entry, start & lock, heated seats, back-up camera, sensors, great turning radius, good for where I live
Dislikes: side mirrors are way too big - Often cannot see someone in crosswalk, back seats are too stiff for long journeys even though they recline slightly, not a great paint job, not a BMW
2005 GEM eS
Likes: plugs into 110 in garage, great for short errand type trips, no doors, easy to find parking
Dislikes: not so good for Seattle due to hills & weather, was better suited to so cal
Currently driving a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. Car has great handle and good on fuel efficiency. Con is that the car is somewhat small for my needs and I'm not a big person.
Favorite car I've had must be my Dodge Charger - powerful and fast. Cons or should I say con is that it did have some blind spots
I hate how the valets always expect a tip, bro I just let you drive my car, you should be paying me.
Oh, wait this isn't the personal finance forum, my bad.
A late model Toyota Sienna, I'm not too fond of it in general. It drives like a cloud, is very quiet, good on gas, and super safe, but the minivan just isn't as useful as everyone makes you believe (I think everyone hates them and just tricks others into buying them as misery loves company).
I will be getting a more inspired car soon, anything from a Subaru BRZ to a BMW M3, just depends on what feels nice.
PS: it was just a joke personal finance forum mates, I'm pretty sure most of you are telling the truth.
