My wife has a strong preference for Toyota, except based on her last service visit, she is considering alternatives. (despite the fact that she had booked an appointment, and dropped the car off the night before, the dealership didn't START on her car until 3pm, so of course it wasn't ready by the end of the day, and they were clueless about what to do for her, until she browbeat them into a rental).
Other than my company Chevy Celebrity, I've had an 89 Camry, a 98 Legacy wagon, and now an 05 Outback. I have a strong preference for Subaru, but would consider alternatives if push came to shove. I do have a preference for awd, though.
