I love my forester, it does everything right. It may not be the most fuel efficient but it handles great, has plenty of power, brilliant interior packaging and vision and is perfect for my needs.

At home:
1981 Toyota Landcruiser, 40 series trayback. 4 Litre straight 6 non-turbo diesel. Dry weight 2.7 tonnes. 10 inch wide tyres, no power steering or A/C. Custom Bullbar and Thomson Winch. Almost half a million Kilometres on it. That's how we do it in North Queensland.

I really hate modern cars ( being a mechanic I also hate working on them )
I was brought up with my old man having american muscle cars and I could go on for ages on the ones I like and ones I would love to own..

I love my old BMW E30 but I would swap it in a heart beat for a Mk1 escort mexico or an early 70's Plymouth scamp

The best will be the 2015 Koenigsegg with the camless engine. They're speculating 1250hp and 30mpg out of it. Realistic numbers considering their prototype engines are seeing 30% better fuel economy, torque, and hp with 50% less emissions. Also the prototypes are modified OHC engines and one designed from the ground up with it should even see better.

It's a 70K ferarri/lambo killer, I think I can live with some rough seats and sub italian interior lol. It's called realistic expectations.

But it could be a 73k Ferrari killer with good seats. I'm not knocking the bang per buck performance of car at all. It's just I did a Vancouver to Calgary run in a Z06 and learned to really hate those seats that day. The rest of the interior I could really care less about because driving that car is a heck of a lot of fun. I would just like some good seats with better support. Unfortunately it's not my car, I just wished it was. That's just my opinion though.

Id suppose you have a point there. I never drove on long enough to have anything to say about the seats, my hands were too busy with the steering wheel to worry about what my butt was saying haha. I have driven several sport cars and I have to say surprisingly the seats in an 07 tiburon are actually quite good, comfortable and supportive especially for such a cheap car.

I love the GT-R, but for the same reasons, I'd have the McLaren MP4-12C

Favorite car? The one that is paid for and the warranty is still good!

A friend did have a '65 GTO with a built 421 with dual quads pumping out and honest 737 HP that was pretty kick ass....I almost cried after hearing that when he was driving it home from the body shop some dill hole ran a red light and totaled it.
