I will buy a brand new Rolls Royce motor car when I get in as a present for my fiancé.

Don't be cheap!!!

NetJets or Flexjets 250 hour fractional ownership plan. No small or midsize jets either. Hoi Polloi in their Lear 45 and 60 thinking they are fancy folks.

Of course, people will look down on you for not owning your own large jet and not employing your own pilot !!!

And buy a prepaid coupon book for time-share Heli runs - NYC to Hamptons - really convenient.

You cheap bastord...... The OP didn't ask you whether if you'd buy a new car. She asked "what new car would you buy" I'm gonna have to report your inappropriate answer....

Honda-Fit-Hybrid-Green-Color.jpg
Honda Fit Hybrid

Reason: I LOVE LOVE LOVE our Honda Fit. My wife bought it to replace her old Fit after an accident Christmas of 2013. It's small but crash tests quite well against large cars. It's got one of the largest interiors in its size range (we don't have kids, but it's one of the few tiny cars that I know of that fits 3 carseats across the backseat relatively easily, for example). The hatchback gives us lots of room for stuff. It turns on a dime. It parks like an absolute dream. The seatbelt geometry actually fits my wife and I (we're not very large and seatbelt geometry is actually designed with a 165 lb 5'8-5'10 man in mind). The last one was in a very serious accident and my wife and her dog both came out unscathed despite the car being totalled.

I've driven other subcompacts and felt like I was driving a clown car--and this in spite of me only being a very petite and lightweight 5'4--or that I was sitting on top of the engine block. Not so the Fit. We love our Fit. My SIL bought a Fit last summer at our recommendation because it really is one of the best cars in its class for value and fuel efficiency and safety and driveability.

I just wish ours was a hybrid. So for that reason, my top pick car is a Honda Fit Hybrid. If I were buying a new car and got to do it all over again, I'd pick a hybrid, which wasn't available on the market at the time--we discussed other hybrids but they would have meant taking out a loan.

My best friend has one of those and he loves it. He got the 2nd generation where the front seat doesnt fold flat but he thinks they're more comfortable that way. It does have a surprising amount of room inside, rides decently, and has 16" rims!. Which I was amazed about to be honest as my Jeep has 17... but my Sebring had 16" rims and my little tercel had 13".

I can see why it's the best little subcompact on the market.

I just googled that Subaru, It's pretty good looking car and priced very well......

It's rather like a beginner sports car. Many car reviews say it's the best handling rwd car this side of Porsche territory. People complain about it's lack of power and torque, but I like that it still gets an avg 28mpg, which is 12 mpg better than my Jeep. Granted it's premium gas so you pay a buck more per gallon too.

Well I guess I wasn't referring to you Steve dear. :)

You'll be okay. You're just not a homosexual man from Wisconsin who works at Target in Colorado. But you're still one of my favourite people, and the list isn't large. Lol
