Mercedes-Benz

Earlier this week I asked our readers to tell maine each astir their favourite types of cars. We each person our favourite brands, favourite models, favourite engines, etc., but I wanted to get moreover broader pinch nan question. Whether your reply was an full people aliases category, aliases thing much circumstantial for illustration "I emotion German hatchbacks that are little than 178 inches long," I was fresh to perceive it.

My illustration was a beautiful large split: I deliberation my favourite types of cars are metropolis cars and hypercars. In fact, that was affirmed by my sojourn to the New York Auto Show this week. My favourite vehicles astatine nan show were either mini cars for illustration the caller Kia EV3, and absurd capacity cars for illustration nan two Koenigsegg Regeras connected display. Your answers ran nan gamut of conveyance types, and immoderate of you did get ultra-specific, which I appreciate. Without further ado, these are my favourite answers our readers submitted:

Dodge

I really bask my truck. It makes a awesome family car. With young kids it is conscionable fantastic. We spell places they wouldn't usually go, we haul each nan stuff, and more. It is simply a built successful play pen erstwhile I'm retired moving successful nan garage. And gets amended milage than my wife's crossover.

I bought a Maverick Hybrid during nan pandemic, conscionable because I could get it astatine MSRP erstwhile getting immoderate conveyance astatine a reasonable value was astir impossible. I figured I would flip it if I didn't for illustration it. Turns retired it's a awesome vehicle. Good state mileage. Just capable hauling for my play warrior lifestyle. Decent thrust tallness to spot complete nan New England snowfall banks. And it's a bully size for parking successful cities and importantly successful my older garage. I decidedly emotion it and deliberation Ford knocked it retired of nan park.

I deliberation nan U.S. would beryllium amended disconnected if hundreds of thousands less group bought marque caller full-size trucks, but I do understand nan entreaty and nan genuine request for immoderate people, particularly erstwhile it comes to smaller pickups. 

Fiat

Small, open-top roadsters are nan closest point to motorcycles while maintaining an exoskeleton. They make each time better.

6' 1", 300 lbs. Love a mini car. If one could get a caller VW Polo successful nan states, you stake your saccharine bippy I'd snag it. Cramming into my NA Miata is nan automotive balanced of Fat Guy successful a Little Coat from Tommy Boy and I wouldn't person it immoderate different way.

While I don't miss it, I did bask dailying an NA Miata for a year.

Renault

I emotion basking hatches. Reasonably efficient, nosy to thrust pinch capable utility. In an era of idiotic excess it's really nan past guidelines for cars that are some nosy and rational.

I mean, I'll ever beryllium partial to nan musculus car- it's successful my DNA (thanks, Dad!). But I deliberation basking hatches are nan champion all-rounder. Small, quick, fun, practical, economical, affordable (maybe not anymore).

Hot hatch until I die. (A bully wagon will besides suffice). I've had a built Mazda3, a Focus ST, an R55 Clubman JCW, an A3 TDI S-Line, a WRX Hatchback, and an e91 BMW. Economical, practical, and a hoot to thrust astatine sane speeds. I've owned plentifulness of different nosy cars (Miata, Integra, e36 M3, e46 M3, e39 M5, Alfa GTV, etc) but each 1 has felt for illustration a discuss successful position of utility. Sure, we could return nan M3 for our play getaway, but really do I bring my surfboard aliases bike? Never an rumor pinch a basking hatch.

If you don't for illustration basking hatchbacks, there's thing wrong.

Mercedes-Benz

Big comfy, fast, rwd sedans. AWD is besides acceptable but it's a tier down, but I conscionable emotion a bully sized 4 doorway pinch a bully spot of go. M5, S bid AMG, ct5-v's, g8's what person you

V8 RWD ample sedan. Nothing is for illustration taking a transverse state travel successful 1 of them pinch nan motor spinning astatine a debased speed, soundlessness inside, fantabulous spot comfort, and bully materials connected nan wrong you spot and touch. LS430 is astatine nan apical of nan heap for agelong word ownership. For disposable car, it is Mercedes Benz W222 (NOT a 4Matic).

Submitted by: JaredOfLondon, Tex

Bonus points for sedans pinch V12 engines.

Toyota

Minivan. Fight me.

It's an honorable conveyance that excels astatine nan task assigned to it. It's not fast, it's not sexy, but it comfortable, tin haul a number of humans and their gear, tends to beryllium decent connected state erstwhile compared to different 3 statement group haulers and is easy to get group successful and retired of.

It's conscionable a good, good designed package that does precisely what's connected nan tin and does it well.

If you person much than 3 kids (or moreover if you only person 3 kids but they're each successful car seats), there's thing much applicable than a minivan. We person a Toyota Sienna and I person looked astatine (and test-driven) respective 3-row SUVs. Every 1 of them would mean sacrificing practicality successful immoderate measurement aliases another. Those sacrifices mightiness beryllium acceptable for nan liking of thing somewhat sportier aliases quicker, but pinch young children there's nary mobility successful my mind which is nan much sensible choice. Up to 2 kids, I would advocator for a position wagon.

Minivans are nan best.

Daniel Golson/Jalopnik

Wagons. Low capable to consciousness nan road, applicable capable to haul bags of mulch.

Give maine a afloat size RWD V8 wagon immoderate time of nan week.I really miss those comfortable machines that we each took for granted galore years ago.

Supercar/Hypercar are my favourite cars to read/watch about.

The modular Sport Sedan/Wagon RWD aliases AWD are my favourite to really unrecorded with. The powerfulness of nan ace athletics versions really isn't useful successful nan existent world successful my area positive those engines are conscionable thirster and I conscionable for illustration nan easiness vs coupes and handling vs SUVs.

Submitted by: Corey Smith, Bruno, Cluck

A batch of group said wagons (I only included possibly a 3rd of them here), but I was still expecting acold more! Wagons rule. 

Ford

Homologation specials. Modern racing rules don't request these which I deliberation is simply a large miss, but nan days erstwhile automakers were required to make respective 100 to respective 1000 accumulation versions of their title cars that were really mechanically akin spawned immoderate crazy and astonishing roadworthy cars. It's nary longer required, but occasionally we get immoderate modern interpretations for illustration nan GR Yaris which are besides great.

Submitted by: Connor Paull

Yes yes yes. And location are still immoderate caller homologation cars retired there!

Nissan

I emotion family sedans turned into sports sedans pinch large engines (but not truthful difficult they go uncomfortable) nan most. Accord V6 6 velocity sedan, Sentra SE-R, Chevy SS sedan, etc.

Small sports sedans. 4 doors because I for illustration to beryllium nan driver erstwhile we (friends/family) spell anyplace but nary wagons 'cuz I conscionable ne'er had immoderate manner activities that required nan other cargo space. Went from Mercury Tracer LTS > Ford Contour SE > original Mazda 6 > Subaru Legacy LGT > different Mazda 6. I don't person 1 now, though. : (

Upper trim level mid-sized sedans. Stuff for illustration nan Honda Accord 2.0T, Mazda 6 Turbo, and nan upper-trim Ford Fusions. Something pinch a spot of power, decent interior space, and bully handling. I presently person a 2018 Mazda 6 Signature, and it's a astir cleanable for me. Fast capable and handles good capable that I'm not hopeless for a dedicated enthusiast car, and practical/economical capable that I'm not excessively concerned astir state prices.

It makes maine happy that location are still astatine slightest a mates existent offerings successful this segment.

Lexus

Coupes. Specifically Luxury GT coupes. Nothing amended than you and nan woman friend hitting nan roadworthy for a bully nosy comfortable cruise successful a bully looking coupe.

I emotion a sporty GT car – nan ones that are ALMOST a luxury coupe, and almost a sports car but caught successful nan middle.

Plenty of nosy connected a awesome twisty roadworthy without being a boat, but not designed to group thigh records (which tends to put unsightly aero and harsh suspension that makes agelong mileage miserable).

Enough NVH (vs a much earthy sports car) to make touring a genuine action without losing athleticism.

Supportive seats for twisty roads but comfortable capable for each time drives.

Fast capable to beryllium nosy but doesn't request to do 200mph being a roadworthy car.

Aston DBS, Lexus LC500, Corvettes, 911 GTS, F-Type benignant of stuff.

I'm pinch y'all connected this, expansive tourers are nan best.

Big coupes, immoderate flavor. Be it a musculus car, individual luxury, onshore yacht, expansive tourer, aliases exotic, if it's sewage 2 doors and a mean to ample size body, I'm in.

To me, they're nan eventual measurement to indulge successful nan acquisition of driving.

I do adore a gigantic coupe.

Lately, I've been an absolute sucker for convertibles. Even nan ones that group declare are awful. Now I'm not saying each convertibles are good, but there's thing astir them that keeps america coming backmost to them. For example, moreover if cipher likes nan Murano CrossCabriolet, why is it that erstwhile lists for illustration this travel up, that car floats its measurement in? When group bargain a supercar, why are we mostly undecided complete which type is (even subjectively) better? Why is Miata ever nan answer?

The convertible, moreover successful Solara, Sebring, and Cascada form, is an look of joyousness connected wheels. God gave america sunlight and upwind and He gave humanity those things to appreciate, which intends each of a sudden, erstwhile you're not closed disconnected successful a metallic cocoon and compromising pinch conscionable having nan windows down, nan travel becomes much memorable. In nan spring, you get to bask a bully 60-degree breeze adjacent to nan reservoir (90 adjacent to PCH if you're successful California). In nan summer, you get lukewarm aerial and a position of each nan stars successful nan sky. Most cars were built for commuting, but successful a convertible, nary matter wherever you go, you're taking a drive.

For nan enthusiasts, you could beryllium getting caked successful ungraded connected trails aliases testing nan limits of lateral grip connected a track. We do that for fun. But for nan mean person, nan convertible is nan joyousness of driving, opened up for each people. Driving arsenic a hobby is now disposable for everyone.

I've ne'er really been a convertible guy, but aft six years surviving successful LA that's slow starting to change.

Mercedes-Benz

Square SUVs pinch a removable top. I know, that intends Jeep. The Bronco is cool too. I for illustration nan GMC Hummer pinch that T apical looking thing.

But past we've sewage a guidelines 986 Boxster that's a bully practice of a modern convertible sports car that you tin return for a mellow drive. Our Alfa Four Cheese is simply a awesome ace sedan that I thought I'd ne'er own. Hopefully our Jetta Ute gets vanished soon arsenic that'll beryllium a blast. We tin usage much mini trucks, truthful why not make your own? It's funny that nan main point that gets utilized from our driveway is our mild Dajiban. I deliberation because it's boring to thrust successful Atlanta and you mightiness arsenic good time off nan nosy cars for getting extracurricular of nan municipality slog. I'm besides pining for a 944 (rwd 4 cylinder cars are decidedly a awesome measurement to go), an aged Jag XJ and astir apt a 1/2 twelve different cars. I'll person to discontinue conscionable to thrust them all.

To own: Midsize wagons and liftback sedans. Wagon/liftback for evident practicality reasons, and midsize to divided nan quality betwixt comfortableness and driving experience.

To appreciate, I person several: '70s musculus cars, particularly capacity trims pinch title car styling touches for illustration rear articulator and beforehand chin spoilers and fender flares (think precocious '70s Camaro Z/28).

OR '70s individual luxury cars, particularly those pretending astatine capacity (think Cordoba Chargers/Magnum XEs)

OR '80s wedge cars, but NOT nan supercars (think Isuzu Impulse/Piazza, Nissan Z31, DeLorean, Citroen CX, Datsun/Nissan 200SX, VW Scirocco, etc.)
