(113,389 posts)and my old "pupper girl" can get into without too much difficulty. Given I am still driving a quite old Toyota Prius, the 20-something year-old urge for sports cars and the like is quite GONE.

(14,185 posts)But back before they made them with that stupid curved back. When they were still sort of squareish, with a back window you could still SEE out of. Or a Subaru Forester, ditto. I like a car that can carry a lot of stuff, is reliable on slippery, snowy, or muddy roads, and is above all, reliable.

Would also have to buy the mechanic and a better climate, but, since money is not an issue 🤣🤣🤣

(27,830 posts)I gave my 2002 Saturn station wagon to my brother (just over 100,000 miles) and bought a 2019 Equinox (got an unbelievable deal on this car) but I miss driving a Saturn. I was a Saturn owner for about 25 years and loved those cars.

(8,888 posts)I'd get it with the tri-power carburetor setup and 4 speed transmission.
It's the iconic muscle car that birthed the whole genre.

(6,746 posts)Sit 4" off the ground, in a car the size of which makes an Mazda MX5 seem like a limo!
Perfect to fling around back roads, only 49hp but you're so low it's like you're doing 90mph!

(15,082 posts)We own a Hyundai Ioniq 5 which is a small to medium sized SUV but with plenty of room in the back
seat for Grandchildren and dogs.

But if we didn't need that room in the back seats I would want this 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N.
