    Volvo XC90 T8. I don’t want any other car; It’s great under scandinavian winter conditions, my entire family fits, and it’s nice without being flashy.

      I just moved out of a city with amazing cycling infrastructure to the suburbs of a larger city… this city has okay transit but their cycling infrastructure is basically telling drivers to please not hit cyclists on the shared roads. At least until you get downtown you’ll be meandering through neighbourhoods because they don’t want to take away peoples parking spots on the main roads.

    What I drive: None

    What I want to drive: a Car-free walkable city

    people don’t realise how much better the world would be if we had no cars in cities. You think you do, but you don’t.

    Kia EV3. It’s generally nice and I don’t want a different one. But I’d prefer not to drive a car if that were practical for me right now.

      I’ve got a rear rack and panniers on my road bike.

      Way faster than my hybrid bike, also with a rear rack and panniers. The hybrid is now my designated winter bike, as to not completely kill my good bike.

      There is/was a group of engineering students at the University of Calgary doing just that. It cost thousands of dollars, but worth it IMO if one can afford that.

        2000 lbs, great feeling transmission going out the rear wheels. Tiny, nimble, perfectly balanced. Handles amazing. It’s low HP so you need to rev out each gear to drive at normal speeds. It’s a blast at legal speeds with the top down on a sunny day. That’s what won me over. And it’s reliable enough that I can drive it to the race track, lap all day, and drive back home. Maintenance wise it’s dead simple, basic mechanically with lots of space to work, new OEM parts available, and a hundred guides online for each job to do.

        I could go all day! But what really won me over is it’s a street legal go kart (and popup lights)

    Kia Sportage Hybrid. No desire to drive anything else. This car is nice and does everything I need it to do. My fourth Kia too. I like Kias.
