We all know that a person's car choice will often reflect on their personality. How about we try to do it the other way? I'll give you a description of a person and you'll try to come up with a perfect car for them.
You may post cars that are reasonably within reach for the described person, or ones that aren't but seem like they would suit them perfectly (although I'd prefer you stick to the former choice). Also, try to stick to mass produced cars. I know that hot rods are cool, but I'd rather you keep it within reason.

Person 1:
A retired man in his early 70's, 6'0" tall, still in pretty good physical and mental condition. He's been a physical worker his all life and never had much money. His pension is pretty low too. He lives in a small town with his wife. He needs a car that'll let him get to a grocery shop each day and let him make a 30 mile run to a larger city once a week for some more substantial shopping. He needs a car that'll be relatively economical (due to his not being wealthy), comfortable and capable in winter conditions. He knows how thinks work and things that he can repair stuff, but thing he disassembles often end up just being botched back together. He can drive a manual and an automatic.
Person 2:
A 25 year old woman, 5'6", blonde. Her career in management in a large corporation is just starting to pick up pace. She's very driven and very professional, and needs a car that will make her look so. She may not have that much money yet (but she's likely to be promoted quickly), but she's far from being in any sort of financial trouble either. She needs a car that'll get her to work each day and will look smart while doing it. She can only drive an automatic.

Person 1: Non-WRX Subaru Impreza Wagon
If efficiency and capability is what he needs, this is what he'll get, with his given mental state!

It's a BMW, so it looks smart. little does everyone know, it's a 4 cylinder, 170 horsepower base model!

Person 1. This is my grandfather. He just bought a brand new Subaru XV, 1,6 petrol with the CVT gearbox. It replaced a 2003 Forester with a 2.0 and auto, so just make that the answer if the XV is too expensive.
Person 2:
Fiat 500. Easy to park, not very expensive, cute but still looks cool and professional. If it's a bit too Italian consider the Audi A1, but I think they are of equal reliability.

Person 1:
Assuming he's in the US: Geo Prism, because he wants an old Camry, but doesn't like Japanese cars.
Alternatively, a 90s Impala or Caprice.
Person 2:
Leased, not bought.

Person 1: He is likely to want to buy american and probably doesn't want a hatchback. For his personality, I give him a Ford Ranger. Plenty cheap with solid mileage and fairly simple to work on while that appeals to the worker in him.
Person 2: She needs to look professional to fit in, yet not let it be too expensive. I bestow an entry level BMercAudi on lease! It will help her blend in and look super professional while keeping costs down.
