My daily is a 2019 Audi RS3. Custom tune on ethanol. Most enjoyable DD to date. Gas mileage is no longer a statistic that matters :)

My beater is a true beater, 93 Camry wagon. It has 180k miles, paint is coming off the roof. But it gets me from home to work with cold a/c and hot heat while getting close to 27mpgs after removing my roof rack. My in-laws bought it new and gave it to my wife and I have been driving it for the past 8 years. I love this thing.

2002 Ford Focus.

Bought it off some high school kid in 2015. It was purchased new by his dad and it was well taken care of. Had 128k on it.

Paid 1300.

Did a Tstat housing $50

Timing belt & wp @$200

Just did the AC compressor and a related components for $350.

I’d drive this thing across the country without worry.

Gets about 34 mpg.

07 tundra with the crew cab and a 5.7. Got 250k miles and no payment. I’ll drive it u til the wheels fall off then put them back in and keep driving lol

before that I had a 99 Mercedes c230 kompressor sport. Put 300k on her. The supercharged 4 cylinder was fun. Ladies love a Benz so that was nice too ;-)

I have a 16' EcoBoost Focus as a DD. It gets an average of 40 mg. It is quiet, has an auto trans and plenty of leg and headroom for my 6'4" frame. It is not exciting. It is not boring either. It gets the job done. Only 41K on the clock so far.

2010 Honda Accord EX-L coupe with the V6 is my daily. I've had it for a little over 6 years now. I bought it with around 35,000 miles and it's at about 93,000 now. Has good power and is comfortable to drive, decent gas mileage as well. It's been very reliable, probably the most reliable car I've ever owned. Would definitely buy another!

2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, limited model so nothing fancy but it does everything I need it to do and travels through the tiny amount of snow we get these days no problem
