Hey everyone!
The car community on Lemmy isn’t the most active and I thought it would be nice to list the cars of its members.
Here is my list:
Present: Seat Leon Cupra 300 St 4 drive
Past: Audi S4 B6 Avant manual, Seat Ibiza Cupra
I was really happy with the 4.2 liters V8 in my S4, but the Cupra gives me more performance, more practicality and is cheaper to run. Would have loved a manual version if you could get it with fake AWD.
I plan on keeping the Leon Cupra for another 10 years before switching to an EV Estate if they appear one day.
What’s your list?
- 69 Dodge Dart GT

Currently: Cadillac XT4, 370Z
Past: Toyota FJ Cruiser, Honda Element, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Grand Am, Pontiac Grand Prix
How was the FJ? I think about getting one every time I see one on the road.
My first car was a 2004 Outback. Good riddance, it was a mechanical clusterfuck.
Currently I still have:
- 1991 Honda Accord, my solid daily
- 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the summer weekend boat (yea I’m a bit block cadillac guy lol). 425 cubic inches of Fuck OPEC.
On the back burner are a couple others.
- 1999 Subaru Forester, 5spd manual. Originally my high school daily. I lifted this one 2" and drove it in the gambler 500 a few times, it’s transmission sounds like a blender and is blowing up so I parked it until I get a chance to swap a new 5spd in - which is hard because they’re hard to find these days.
- 2000 VW Golf TDI, 5spd manual. Got it for free, snapped timing belt at 300k. This was going to become a highway daily but life got in the way and I never had the time or mental energy to really dig into it.
- 1988 Jeep Cherokee
- 1996 Eagle Talon ESi (turbocharged with Hahn Racecraft stage 2 kit)
- 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5
- 2003 Mazda6
- 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
- 2015 Hyundai Sonata (still have it)
- 2025 Subaru Forester Premium
Would love to see a picture of your talon if you have one to share!

Swapping from a 17 Focus RS to a 97 Miata is interesting. Normally that swap goes the other direction. What was the attraction to change?
Mostly because the RS was just too heavy and too powerful to have fun on the roads I’m driving, and the computers mean you barely have any feel anyway. The RS was purchased when I lived in Kansas City, but now I’m back up in the mountains of Southern California. Plus it was impossible to work on and parts were difficult to source. Plus as I list, this one’s not my first and I knew I loved Miatas. So I sold the Ford and bought this 97 NA with 90k miles on it, one owner, and had more than enough money left over to dump $10k into a full refresh and mods. It was fun for a bit to have power, but there’s nothing like driving a slow car fast.
The NA gets far more smiles per gallon than the RS, and anything that breaks I can fix in my own garage on the cheap. I fully intend to own this car until I die.
Also, pop up headlights.
Hell yeah! Out here there is a Miata spec series my son and I have been looking at getting into. We think an NA or NB is what we want to race in the series.
I test drove an NA at one point with 150k miles and I loved it right away. Mazda absolutely nailed the formula with this car!
My first car was a Golf 3 Cabrio then a BMW 316ti E46 Compact and lastly a leased modern Audi A3.
After I gave my last car back I haven’t bothered with one and don’t have one since 2022.
1st car -Chevy Corsica (total junk but I loved it) 2nd car - Toyota Matrix (OK) 3rd car - Subaru WRX (love it)
I currently drive a 2006 rav4, 2002 sequoia, and a 2023 hyundai kona.
All at the same time?
Great question!
I currently drive a 2014 Corvette with a few track mods.
370z (amazing steering)
Acura MDX
Honda Odyssey
Toyota Camry
Pontiac 6000
Saab 900 (with a turbo but no label)
Mitsubishi Eclipse (2nd Gen)
Toyota Tercel
Plymouth Valarie
Bike
What kinda bike tho
Used 10 speed with no brakes. Almost killed me once. 0-10 would not recommend.
No make or model? Just some steel tubing taped together?
Lol pretty much. It barely had paint on it and I’m not entirely sure my Dad didn’t take it off of someone’s porch.
Nice
I’ve had a whole ton of cars in my life, but I’ll start with my current car and go backwards:
2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL AWD, 2011 Pontiac Vibe AWD, 2002 Dodge Dakota SXT 4x4, 2012 Suzuki SX4 AWD, 1994 Suzuki Swift, 1994 Geo Metro, 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4, 1984 Subaru GL Station Wagon 4x4, 2002 Ford F150 XLT Longbed 2x4, 2016 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, 2007 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4, 2013 Hyundai Elantra, 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD, 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara, and a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick Sport (First Car).
I’ve loved every car I’ve owned for a variety of reasons, but always had one complaint or another about some lack of functionality that the car had. The Santa Cruz is the first time I’ve not felt the need to pick up an old beater as an alternative, since it meets all my needs pretty well now.
I also have a motorcycle now as well, so I’m no longer as concerned with speed in my cars since I get it on the bike. I ride a 2011 Yamaha Raider.
