All Holdens for me.
Started when dad got a great deal from a mate going overseas and took ownership of this blokes one owner HT Monaro. We learnt to drive in it and drove it it my Late teens and early twenties. Was the only "good" car my folks ever owned and what a ripper.
That got me into Bathurst etc, but same as most people, I don't even watch it anymore as I struggle to even tell the cars apart without seeing the badge. Would prefer more production cars racing with lots of makes/models.
That was it. Holdens all the way from then on except for a Subaru WRX about 10 years ago for five years. Back to another Monaro now.
So I have owned many Holdens over the years and one Subaru. Now I love Holdens but the best car I have ever owned was the Subaru. Nothing ever broke in the 5 years we owned it. Regular servicing and that was it.
Wish I could say the same for any of the Holdens I have owned including the current Monaro. Problems here there and everywhere. The build quality is just not the same as the Japanese cars. We may be going back to a Subaru very soon as we have been thinking about an 07 Liberty GT by STI at the moment.
