I have a 2012 Kia Soul+. It gets me to school in relative comfort and is really fun to drive. What is your daily driver?

Edit: Here is a photo from tonight. I went to Yom Kippor services, and my Soul attracted some friends.

I drive a Ford Taurus. It gets me to work in back in comfort. It is not particularly fun to drive, but I could easily drive it all day long. What happened to your badge?

I DD a 2007 Mercury Milan V6 FWD. It's not terribly exciting but it can zip through the exit ramp from the freeway to my work at 85+ (this morning) and get 28-29 mpg on the highway which is important giving I drive a round drop of about 50-55 miles a day.

I have the 68 Montego for fun so the daily driver can be standard transport. It's comfortable, easy to drive, nice amenities and was cheap.

Its based off of the old Korean Kia logo.

That's what the Chinese Knock Off Company used to make this logo for the fake Kia right?

I have an 03 WRX wagon in midnight black pearl with a few goodies here and there. Also, if you go to this link you can access the Oppositelock readers ride, a database of what a lot of us drive and other random info

I daily drive a 2008 wrx with a laundry list of modifications (inb4 you're an idiot, I wake up before my alarm everyday because I'm excited to drive my car to dif eq at 7:30 am). That model and year gets some hate here and there, but I got it for a steal (16 grand at 44k miles one owner) plus it is cosmetically and mechanically sound. Pre purchase inspection yielded optimal results and was free of aftermarket witchcraft.
First post Ive made and I'm probably rambling and babbling along about my baby, but if anyone cares I've done all of my own tuning and have placed a stress on usable midrange torque as opposed to revving the nuts off of my lil boxer 4. I have 425 lbs ft at 2900 rpm as of the beginning of the summer :)

Sounds like an awesome buy. I would love one of those, but doubt I would fit in it, as I am 6 ft 9.

1997 VW Jetta Jazz in Windsor blue with a 5-Speed. Or a 1982 Yamaha Virago when it is nice out.

I must admit I'm a little jealous.

Are you mwebb on Kia soul forums?
I'm itsalwayssteve.
My wife and I share a '13 soul base 6mt. Big but inexpensive with a bunch of headroom — which is important when you're 6'3" with a 30" inseam. 30+ mpg too.

Here it is just after a wash last week.

A high school friend of my sister is the only person I know who drives a Soul and is under 6' tall.

1995 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole, with the same Twin Cam 2.0l engine that once equipped Lancia's Delta Integrales. It's been in the family since new and, trust me, this car's seen some stuff in the last 18 years

Still in the honeymoon phase, but I think this may be the best decision I ever made

I'm 6'9" and I DD a 996 Carrera. I get asked all the time how I fit. If there is a will, there is a way.

I'm 6'3" and about 300 lbs and the 996 I got to drive (once — but it was a beautiful machine) fit like a glove. It was like everything was in the exact right place. I can see how an extra 6 inches in height may be a challenge but still there's more room than it looks in a 911.

2013 Subaru WRX (Premium) sedan. It makes burble noises and it puts a smile on my dumb face. And it attracts men.

That last part is sucky. Men are yucky.

I know. Everybody wishes they could have that little bit of yarn around the shifter like I do.

You'd be surprised! I've let some of my very tall friends drive it and the only complaint is the feather light flywheel and a clutch that belongs in golds gym. I'm just a hair under 6 foot myself, and I have plenty of space above me. Perhaps the five door has more headroom? Probably not, but maybe
