Exactly. Everyone is different. It's not like there is one super-guru car-nut that decides which is what and best for who.
I even have this odd theory that some vehicles last a lot longer in some hands than others, regardless of how well a person takes care of a car. My mother drives with her foot off the gas from a standstill, has an infinite number of habits that she isn't even aware of, turns a specific way, brakes a specific way, throttles at slightly different points, and likes to drive at certain speeds, sits in her position, and takes specific roads. How is she going to compare to another completely responsible, but entirely different driver, habitually? She will like driving a different car, and the car that suits her habits best, will be the car that is safest for her as well, regardless of independent crash research.
It's like those people who own the infamous second generation Explorers to this date. How did the damn thing last so long, how did they stay so safe? Well beats me, but the car fits their styles. When I see any Dodge Neon still on the road, my mind is blown. When I see the 5th generation Preludes on the road, I'm shocked. 2nd gen Altimas, 2nd gen Cavaliers and really any 3.4L LQ1 v6 Chevy too. HOW? An entire fluke? I'm willing to bet they were just the right cars for those people(at least the original owners that broke them in.) Maybe Dews will back me up on this one, but damn, you could go to yards and auctions, maybe even still to this day, and always see a cherry Jaguar XJ with maybe some cracks in the leather interior, and that's it. They are some of the least reliable cars period, but they suit some people like bacon and eggs.
