I haven't even considered getting a car. Seoul has such a great transit system that it's just silly for me. Why get one when I can take taxis, buses, or subways for next to nothing? Although it would be convenient for when I go grocery shopping - I wouldn't have to drag the groceries that massive 200 meters to my house.  

Cheers

well, in the U.S. you have to drive quite a distance to get to pretty much anything, unless you live in New York or maybe L.A.

and road trips for vacations and such are in upwards of 800 miles on the average (1600 round trip...)

That is true, probably would take me 20 min walk just to get out of my sub division to the road. My Countie just has a very light bus system and the next stop is like 3 miles away. No car, nowhere to go...

i got a Nissan X-Trail 2002. Earlier i had Toyota land Cruiser VXR 1 2002 .. it was awsome but too big to handle.. morever it was 8 cylinder and too soo much petrol...it had lot of capacity for luggage and people were always naging aroung me to carry them to airport for their flight or pick some of their releative friend from the airport... these cheaps dont want to pay extra money for hiring a luggage taxi.....had other problems as well and maintance was a rip off

so i came up with a solution and sold it and bought nissan xtrail.. nice and awsome...got good music system, automatic and computersied, i put some blue neon under the hood and inside of front grill and ity looks reall cool.. especially in dark...

 im only 18 years only but i had a car ever since i was 16...

Car insurance is dirt cheap here..cost like $80/year for my Nissan X-Trail .. Driving Lisence insurance is another $80/year

Life without a vehicle sucks..

I like Toyota Land Cruisers, great for off-road.

Having a large vehicle is a problem with people wanting to use it, but in my case it's not to go to the airport as my LT28 is a bit large to manover around an airport (it won't gp in allot of car parks), the back inside is 4 meters by 2 meters, so people tend to want me to help them move house, or quite often for some reason people always want to use it to move motor bikes
