Funny, I too am driving a Ford Focus. But if I could afford a Prius or some other kind of hybrid, I'd feel a lot better and save a lot of gas $.

Default Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?

I drive a Toyota Avalon, not that I really drive that much.

This is the purchase I was encouraged to make by a dear (and older) friend. "You want to get something you like," he said. "This could very well be the last car you'll ever buy." . . . So far it has been.

What I'd really like is a new Toyota Avalon, but that is not going to happen. I could pay the tab, but there's no way I could justify the expenditure.

I drive a 2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara (4 door SUV) and hubby drives a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo.

My dream car is a Lexus or Mercedes (or just anything with dual climate control and a GPS!!), and kevin's dream is a mustang.

I drive a toyota camry bought new in 1/2003 and so far I have about 13,000 miles on it. I'm a SAHM and don't drive it that much or too far, so I'm sure I'll drive the same car for at least another 4 yrs. My dream car is a mercedes and in 4 yrs we'll be more financially stable so who knows.

I drive a 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a 2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan. I love this thing! You just can't beat a reliable and inexpensive car that will last practcially forever AND gets 40MPG.

2004 Suzuki Aerio Hatchback shared by DH and myself. So Far, I'm very pleased. Great gas mileage and cargo capacity.

Default Re: What car do you drive now and what would you like to drive but can't afford now?

Currently driving a Corolla.

I guess I wouldn't mind something like a Miata someday.

But I'm not enough of a car guy, so I'd rather be directing my money elsewhere.

I wouldn't mind something like a Yaris hatchback for my next car though.

I also hear that Toyota is planning to design ultra-cheap cars in the future. If they can at least maintain its fuel efficiency, reliability, a below $6000 price tag, and make it stateside, they're going to have one very loyal customer on their hands.

I drive a '01 Ford Focus. It was a gift. I absolutely love it...have only had minor problems, and I'm close to 80,000 miles.

I would like a Toyota Yaris, but I'm a few years away from thinking of a car.

I'm less infatuated with cars these days. I have a Prius now and am happy with it, along with a 1994 Miata that sits in the garage most days. I'm content with things the ways they are I'd like better mass transit options for traveling down to Orange County an LA County or up to the Bay area for my next mode of transportation.

I am totally happy with my car its a 2005 Nissan sentra bought new in 2005 its paid for looks nice good on gas

I paid more for my motorcycle than i did for my car ;-)

I must admit I did test drive a a ford mustang convertible the year I bought my Nissan,but there was no way I was cutting a check that large and I do not believe in financing cars LOL

I have a 2000 Ford Windstar - hate it, but it gets us around. A lot of little things have broken, like interior lights that won't go off, seatbelts that don't retract, doors that don't lock. I could care less about what I drive, so long as it's dependable. I wouldn't mind a newer car, probably another minivan, but it's not going to happen anytime soon. We paid cash for this one.
DH has a 2005 Nissan Sentra - it's been pretty good to us. He put almost 45k miles on it already with commuting to school. We just made our last payment on it this month so again, no new cars here for a long time.
