I’ve been driving the first car I ever bought for almost 15 years now. I love love love that car, but it’s time for an upgrade, so yippee!
Before it gets asked and I forget to reply, Mazda 2 -> hybrid Honda Civic hatchback

Since I asked for car stories, I will come clean that the above text is a bit of a lie.
The very first car I ever bought was straight from the lot, brand new, a pearly white Mazda 2 that I absolutely adored… For two weeks. To whoever cross in front of me at the stop light, apparently white isn’t very visible, so I hit them going about 50mph/75kph and totaled my brand new car in one fell swoop. I was okay, though. A little sore and bruised, but I was just fine.
My insurance offered me barely anything back, so I had to buckle down and save up for a few months. But I did get another Mazda 2 afterwards because I trusted the safety of the vehicle wholeheartedly. I just got a much brighter color that time.
I test drove a Smart Car once, and was telling the sales guy that I didn’t feel safe, and he was all like, “Oh no, these things sit high and catch the eye…” Just as a truck did it’s level best to kill us both. I got a Honda instead. Been driving it since 2010.
