I used to think so too until I bought an Impreza, there's no comparison.

I'm driving the '7 to work and the gym. The insurance comes up on it in a few days, and I can't afford to afford the Audi and the '7 together, so I guess it will just sit. Unless someone buys it

They are excellent winter cars, and with the hatchback you can haul damn near anything you want, especially if you take your handy 12mm socket and pull the passenger seat.
I know they are excellent cars in the winter. I used to drive my '85 in the winter. I was the best winter car I ever had

I just don't drive the '84 because the Road salt is too hard on it.

Man all you guys in warm climates make me Jellious, My FB would be my daily driver, if it wer not for the road salt, and the 120 miles I drive every day.

Once the weather gets nice, I will drive my RX-7 to work once a month, but I will drive it around town every night, and all weekend

My 84 GSL-SE is my daily driver. I would like to have another car to drive when it snows or rains. It has been my daily driver for two years now. The only thing that has really gone wrong with it is an ignitor going out and my breaking a pinion gear.

'81 GS(L) is my daily driver in the summer...
'91 Explorer XLT is my daily driver in the winter...

(Road salt is too nasty to the poor 7)

Almost time to wake her up for the summer :-D (including her engine and tranny work before she goes on the road)

2003 Explorer. But one more oil leak to fix and I'll be driving my 83 GSL more often than not. I just got a 2003 Piaggio BV200, though. 70+ mpg. Hell, it uses less fuel in a week than my Explorer does in a day.
