Land rover Discovery 300tdi 1997 ('xs' trim)
Not driving it much as it's just about all I can manage to keep it taxed and insured (out of work). Been crawling about underneath it with a tin of underseal this afternoon, prepping it for its mot which is due on the 19th.

I love it and by choice wouldn't want to drive anything else (except perhaps a rangerover - not the footballer sport one, the proper one).

If you ever sell that thing, I will seriously consider buying it!
EDIT: Never mind you are in UK, I heard it was expensive to get British cars in US

Clio fidji, 1997, 1.2 gasoline, 3 doors. white and rusty

I love this car, looks like an accident but it's tough. seen a rally almost every month and it's very maneuverable during winter, drove on snow and never skidded. But summers are tough, no air condition, just the lowered window

hehe

only if you use a land rover main dealer... same as it is in the UK. I hardly get any parts from LR and I've never had it serviced by a main stealer since I've had it.
I remember seeing more discovery's in Canada than I was expecting (all V8's no diesel). Would not the US be the same?
A quick shufty online reveals several brittish companies exporting used LR's to the USA and something similar over there to the independent parts & accessories suppliers I use here.
I know there's a few guys on one of the LR forums who are from your side of the pond... lucky sods; running a V8 (either 3.5L 3.9L 4.2L or 4.9L) is way too expensive for fuel here, even if you get an LPG conversion kit fitted. It's why I went for the 2.5L diesel (though currently diesel is usually more expensive than petrol).
If you ever do think of buying one, if it has a 2.0L MPI petrol engine, just forget it and find one with a proper engine - either a diesel or a V8.

Oh, yes. Lousy gas mileage, though.

Kidding aside, I drive a black '02 Honda Civic Coupe. The one below is not mine, though. I have an EX, not an LX:

2003 Ford ranger.

It's smaller then a full size, but not too small.
Does everything i ask of it, reliably,

and.......

it gets great gas mileage. About 100 miles per 1/4 tank of gas. I usually fill it up at 1/8th of a tank, and put in 13 gallons on the average.

The perfect vehicle IMO, can fill just about any role shy of busing around rug rats. I'd buy another truck JUST like this one, and wouldn't change a thing. I hope Ford keeps making em, when im in the market for a new one some years hence.
