We love our Subaru Forester. It has been extremely reliable mechanically and is super practical for our lifestyle. It has taken us on road trips, off-road excursions, and short runs to the store without any issues, squeaks, or breakdowns.

I like that my vehicle is large enough for any occasion. However, a small car would be more convenient in other ways. The gas mileage is horrible and some problem or another causes the check engine light to come on at least twice a year. I would expect a car to be much older before it has problems with this frequency. I am fond of my car since I have had it so long and it was my first car, but I look forward to the day when I have enough money to buy a smaller, more efficient one.
