[QUOTE="lev1n, post: 1543513, member: 20818"] Might become an interesting thread depending on the topics here discussed. I currently drive a 20-year-old Mazda 626. Bought it a few years ago on a budget and actually grew quite fond of it, simply because it drives well and it is very maintenance-friendly. Cars like that (conventional Mazdas and Toyotas, etc. from the late 90s and early 2000s) are in my opinion some the best cars you can buy quality/price-wise. Ask Scotty Kilmer. But what do I buy next? Obviously I want the same thing but newer and with fewer miles on it, but here in Western-Europe fuel prices (and soon taxes for regular petrol-fueled cars) are going through the roof. But don't want an EV or hybrid either because degrading batteries will be a pain in the long run. Has anybody here thought about what the future of motoring in the tyrannical world that is currently being set up will look like? Meaning fuel costs or even availability and general freedom of movement in the future (5 to 10 years from now or longer). [/QUOTE]
