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.

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 🤣🤣🤣

2006 Saturn Ion with a 5 speed manual transmission.

Oh, wait, I already have that. Zero repairs, 40 MPG, bought it new cash and carry.

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.

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.

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!

but the Subaru was better. I owned that over a decade as well. I think I'd look for a new Subaru Outback (if they still make them - I had a small wagon).

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.
