As the title states. What manufacturers other than ford do you drive daily/weekly? I thought of this as in the last 3wks I have driven my Fairmont twice. Everyday incl weekends we have used the camry and if the Camry wasn't due for a service and leaking a tiny drop of oil, I would be taking it to Pertb this week. Just today we drove it 150km rather than use the Fairmont. I am not sure why but the Fairmont has just not been used lately. The other vehicle I drive daily is a 2010 VW caddy Maxi.

I use the old Subaru wagon. Am thinking to sell up and do up an EF2 Fairmont RTV wagon though, but a Delica seems a much much better overall choice for me...

I mostly drive around in a VW Jetta 2.0 TFSI. Great car. It is basically a GTI Golf in disguise. The ultimate sleeper car. It has the same engine, brakes, suspension, 17" rims, DSG gearbox etc but in a body with a boot that is bigger than my XR8. It is incredible. I can fit so much more in the thing. It amazes me. And it goes like a scalded cat too. When my XR8 was stock standard, they have exactly the same 0-100 time (7.2 sec). Plus the fuel economy is much better. I can't recommend it enough. And those germans sure do know how to build a car. The quality is great. If you ever get a chance to drive one, do it!!

09 Nissan Micra daily
Not a bad little car…easy on fuel obviously, surprisingly roomy in the front, decent air con and plays mp3 cds. Haha. And I guess it doesn’t look TOO bad.

My wife has an '06 Civic which I drive once a week. Can't say I enjoy it too much but I supose it is a good car for what it is.
Other than that my work car is a Toyota Hilux Dual Cab 4x4. Its not my car ( its a vehivle that the mob I work for leases) but I do drive it more klms than my own.
