Probably a CTS, as it's one of the most popular models.  My mother looked at that car as well and eventually, it came down to either the CTS or the Audi A4.  As stated above, she picked the Audi.  They are very similar cars.

I've got an '95 Audi A4 1.8T

You may say it's old, but it's very fun to drive too

[Ocram's Razr 964]

I have a car as old as myself, a 1991 Camry.

I do like the CTS, of course I sure wouldn't mind owning a CTS-V, those are beasts!

My dad drives a '96 Toyota Avalon, my mom drives a '00 Acura TL, and I drive a '91 Honda Accord. All three have over 100k miles but are still running really well. Last week when I took my car to get serviced they had to do additional work with the brakes, including replacing the master cylinder. Sometimes when I drove for around 15 minutes or more I would gradually have to push the brake pedal farther and farther down each time I had to make a complete stop.

Go faster stripes actually don''t make your car go faster

In all seriousness, 9 out of 10 times vinyls uglify a car.

I actually don't want to use stripes

I thought about a colorful dragon.

But you're right, sometimes they do not fit a car.

[refriedbussy 7]

My mother and I share a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Ours is in white though.  It's such a great car, and it has about 77,650 miles on it.  I wish they still made them though.  Hopefully GM will regrow a brain and have more affordable two-dour coupes.

[benjames98 7]

My parents drive a 1999 Toyota Sienna and a Honda Accord from 1993.

Not very exciting.

And I'm still a while from driving a car myself... (As in more than a year)

I took a few seconds to find out, it's an SRX.

[Larks2242 251]

Why all the old cars?

My mom has a 2009 Range Rover.

My grampa has a Acura Tl not sure the year.

My  Uncle has a 2008 Ford Mustang GT i might be able to get that next year but he dosen't want me to have it as a first car.  I'd rather have a Viper though but they are alot more money because its the last year.

Two primary reasons:

1)  Not all of us have the money to go out and buy a new car whenever we feel like it.

2)  Some of us (like me) might like their "old" cars better than most of the new ones.  My Acura is 12 years old, runs great, gives me little trouble, and...  well frankly, hardly anyone makes a car like it anymore (both a low beltline and sits close to the road).  Quite simply, I haven't found any new cars I like better than mine.  Dad's the same way.  He won't trade his 2003 Subaru Outback for anything.  He likes it too much.

We do have a lot of younger members, so I would expect the older cars. Between myself and my friends, the newest car is a '02 Accord. The rest? A '71 Beetle, '86 MR2, and a late 90's Blazer. I like my car, but if I had the money, I'd definitely go out and buy a Mustang, preferably a '11 GT.

[Muck308 55]

Mustangs!?! I have always despised them. Unless of course they are from 1976 or before. I must admit they are quite stylish though.

Well, we used to drive a 1993 Audi 500 SE. Huge lumbering beast, very difficult to drive and very expensive to maintain. So my mom sold the car off. Then we decided that a Chevrolet Spark, we bought it is 2007 I think was good. It's small, but extremely fuel efficient something like 20Kms/L on the open road. We don't do much driving (mom works from home) so we only fill the tank up every 2 months! It used to be every 2 weeks We got the LT version. It's goven us at least two good open road trips to Hermanus (around 150 Km/s away from Cape Town) so I'm very impressed.

[TheCrybKeeper 301]

Currently driving this, parked in front of a friends house. It's a real mansion, I just couldn't afford. I am not like, super rich or anything

[jammy 0]

I am desperate for a car but insurance is soo expensive in the UK I can't afford to drive ($3500 to insure a 1.0 litre car for a year at my age!)

My mum drives a 2006 BMW 1-Series 118D in black which i've snook a drive in and it's very nice

My dad used to drive a 2004 BMW 3-Series 120D but he now half lives in Japan so sold it

I suppose I could say what I'm learning to drive in...

My first car I learnt to drive in was a 2010 Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge which was quite nippy

The car I'm learning in now is a bigger 2010 Fiat Punto Evo 1.4 Multiair which is even faster

[MayorAwesome 12]

My parents drive a purple Volvo S70 and a red Volvo 850.

In swedish, Volvo stands for "We cause the countrys worst accidents".

[LILCHRIS5X 5]

My parents drive in a boring cheap red Ford Ka and a just as boring slightly more expensive silver Toyota Avensis. Exciting huh* zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@Tower Dude: lol, that's a lot.... but that oldie looks nice ;D

[weareanidiot 1]

There's no reason for me to have a car, and I don't even have a driver's license. My parents have a Toyota Prius I think.

[x493x 446]

Two words you never hear together, Prius and excitement.

[Skimbo 304]

Newest car of my Family: a '10 morgan +4

[djrules5454 5]

I've been driving my parents' maroon 1998 Ford Windstar (minivan) regularly for the last 2 years. That has around 170,000 miles on it right now, so I'm fortunate that it'll still start every time I turn the key. My mom usually drives a forest green 2002 Chevy Suburban with 130,000 miles on it since she works in town, and my dad usually drives a black 2003 Ford Escape with 105,000 miles on it (his looks like the one pictured below, though, and not a typical Ford Escape).

[Bepi-Nomdus 0]

Well, my father and I share 2 cars: A 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (first pic) and a Jeep Commander (second pic).

We also used to have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, however, it got totaled in an car accident a few years ago. (Edit: found a better picture)

And yes, my father is a Jeep fan!

[joshriddle 29]

I'll go into more detail here.

My dad drives that old '96 Bronco, which is a mere rustbucket and smells awful.

My mom drives the Silverado, I like it more.

I think we may need to buy some of those pine tree car fresheners.
