I don't get to choose my car, it's given to me by the company. It used to be a Taurus, but they decided to give us more fuel efficient cars and now it's a Fusion. We get to have the car until it reaches 70,000 miles, then we get a new model, or the option to buy it at a large discount. We drive so much that this is basically every 2 to 3 years. It's a pretty awesome perk of the job, what's really cool is that they don't regulate that we can't use it for personal use. But the absolute best part is that I don't have to pay for the gas.

But, if I were able to choose the car I drove it would most certainly not be a Ford Fusion. I did enjoy driving the Taurus, it was a very smooth ride, the seats were comfortable and it was spacious. However, if I had my druthers I'd be in another car. Not sure what really, just not this.

Free cars are judged by an entirely different standard than other cars.

Which reminds me of Drowning Mona. Ever seen it? For reasons that are only obliquely explained, every car in it is a Yugo. It's kind of hilarious.
