Any SUV. 95% of people driving them are poseurs.

No.
It is a Reliant Robin not Robin Reliant, and even they have their good points, only three tyres to replace, the body is glass fibre and you can repair it with plastic padding when you hit something, and they have a certain charisma, especially the van version in yellow with Trotters Independent trading lettering.
Actually the Reliant Rebel the 4 wheeled robin is much nastier than the Robin and the Reliant Scimitar 2 doors are hideous, but as a professional car mechanic there is not a single car I would not drive ijust as long as you pay me.

I will never purchase a Mazada or a Ford, ever. Mazada's are literally junk, all of them. Fords are cheaply made, and slightly better. (a Mazada is a US made Ford, in case anyone didn't realize that). When you buy GM, you get a little better car, and you're paying a premium so that an auto worker in Detroit can have premium medical insurance. My Mazada 626 was my last American made car. American manufacturing is dramatically sub-standard. I think it's sad. I drive an Infiniti now. I will be sticking with Japanise cars from this point forward.

Sorry Renault. I've driven the 16, the 30, the Alpine and the 12 (Murat, the Turkish version) but the worst has to be the Renault 4.

I had a Ford F-150 once. It kept me walking or bumming rides quite often. I would have rather drove it though. I ended up trading it in on a Jeep because I could no longer afford it. I think our local mechanic really missed that old truck.

Nope, anything reliable & quiet & functional that works in cold weather & gets me from A to B; I don't care how it looks to pedestrians or fellow drivers.
My passengers & I are going places!
If someone laughs, good - when the garage can't find replacement parts for their imported car, and they don't know how to fix it themselves, they're welcome to hitch.
I'll even offer them a lift. But they can walk or sit in the back until they apologise : )

Yeah!!! Those so-called Smart-cars, I drive a semi up & down the road and when I see one of them on the hi-way I figure the owner/driver has to be really brave or really stupid to be out there in one of those pieces of crap.
