I’m kind of with you there. I have four cars. The one I like to drive the most is my 2006 Scion xb. Good mileage, easy to get in out of, etc. My wife drives a Scion ia. We’ve driven that thing from our home in Kentucky to Seattle twice, to fort Lauderdale a couple of times, to the south end of texas, etc. One of the reasons we bought that one is cuz it’s small and very efficient but it also feels a little bit like a big car. Very comfortable on the road and gets fantastic mileage.
Meanwhile, all I use my Silverado Z71 4 is driving from my house to the hardware store or perhaps pulling logs and stumps on my property because it gets terrible mileage but it does have its usefulness.
I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ that I use for towing my travel trailer. Great truck, but the Forester is much easier to maneuver in parking lots. And it gets much better mileage. I have the 6.2L engine, which is a beast, but it uses premium fuel.
