I drive a 2012 Ford Focus, light blue in color. Her name is Felicity. 
I've only had her for a couple of months.
I'd rather drive something like this, but I'd need to make about 10x what I do in order to afford it. Also, I would be way too tempted to drive fast all of the time, so it just wouldn't be good for me to have it.
I had used cars before Felicity, but all three of them broke down on me. One was 2 hours away from home, and one was out in the middle of nowhere and it was seriously a blessing from God that I had cell phone service where I was and could call a friend. So after being broken down 3 times previously from used cars, I decided NO MORE and got a new one this time. It had better not give me any trouble! Well, technically it was used when I got it, but barely. Close enough.

This happened to me as well, which is why I went ahead and got a new car, a 2012 Toyota Camry. I had a VW Jetta before, but it gave me so many problems that I didn't want to deal with it anymore so I figured a higher car payment will have to do in order to feel safe and not worry about being left stranded late at night. So, the payments hurt but the safety feels great. lol
Ha, yes I talk to my car a lot. When it's snowy out and she's having trouble, I'll tell her "Easy girl, you can do it!" or when she starts acting up I'm like "HEY!! No. Stop that." I'm really not crazy...
On a sort of related note, last summer a miracle happened. Where I worked and where I lived was over an hour commute (one way). There is one gas station in between there and it's closer to where I lived than where I worked. One day after work, I was about 20 miles out when I realized that I didn't think I would make it home. My car says how any miles until empty, and I realized that I had miscalculated. I wasn't going to even make it to the gas station based on what it said. I started panicking because I didn't have cell phone service, was in the middle of nowhere (the same nowhere that my car broke down in later, ha) and it was starting to get dark. It was also really windy that day and there were many hills on the way home. I prayed so hard, that at least maybe I could get cell phone service so that I could let someone know I was going to end up on the side of the road.
I started seriously hyperventilating as the "Miles until E" number starting getting lower and lower. 4...3...2...1...0. It got to 0, and nothing happened. My car was still going. In fact, my car kept going until I got to the gas station, 20-25 miles past what my car said was empty. So either my car was lying, or it was a miracle. Or both. I had never been so thankful in my life to see a gas station! I praised God and thanked Him for delivering me from my stupidity of not calculating right/not getting gas when I should have.

Mine is a really old Mazda Protege... Mine has a few more dings than this one does. Some are from me.. some were there when I bought it... But it looks almost identical to this one! So if you're gonna stalk me.. look out for this car!!! It's not my dream car, but it gets me to and from stuff. That's all I need.

I've got a 2006 Saturn Vue.
Pros: It's got AWD, a 250HP 3.5 Honda V-6, low step-in height for hauling my parents around, and more than enough cargo room to haul whatever.
Cons: No manual transmission. Silver blah color (same as the pic).
Not what you were expecting a motorhead like me to have? Well, if/when I start making 10x my current wage, I'll be sure to pick up a Porsche 911 Turbo in BRG with the 7-spd manual trans and a tan leather interior. Until then, the Saturn will have to suffice.
