At one time or another I have driven Audis, BMWs Mercedes and every brand of "reps" car going. All as company cars. Now I own one and I really don't care too much. So long as it does the job, is reliable and pulls my caravan it's enough. I am just not interested in flashy status symbols, there are much more important things in the world than them. My current UK car is a Suzuki Grand Vitara. Bought it new 7 years ago and not yet had a thing go wrong with it. I really dislike the Clarkson attitude to cars, although I confess I find Top Gear compelling watching.
In the Philippines I drive a pretty beat up Kia Sportage, primarily not to draw too much attention to myself. It gets me around well enough, takes the knocks without complaint and is cheap to fix as there are so many.
