On Saturday I finally replaced my 2004 Toyota Matrix (250k miles) with a 2018 EX-L. I went from bright yellow to orange fury (I pretend it's burnt orange because it basically is). I love it so far!
My last car was Thor AKA My Swedish Valentine AKA a 1991 Volvo station wagon (manual) that I bought off of my dad. It was SO hard to get rid of that car and trying to find something to replace it was even harder. I ultimately bought a 2009 Fit because it had the immeasurable things I was looking for in a car but were hard to find: a bit of personality and zip plus room to fit a lot of stuff in it! I have to say, I haven't looked back (except in nostalgia) because my little Rhonda is such a great road trip and vintage shopping companion. And I still get to shock people with how much I can stuff in the back, just like I did with my Volvo.
Some people may say I went backwards going from a 2016 Tacoma, to 2008 Fit. But for me it has been a huge leap forward.
Tacoma reliability is an oxymoron.
2014 Buick Encore. My dog needed a car that was easier to get into and I needed a more reliable car. I'll miss my heated steering wheel and more comfortable seats but the Fit has been good so far and my dog loves his car!
