Our first car - a 1969 7-seat VW Kombi, red like this one. After I came home from the games in Vietnam.
Look at all that 'people-space'!
Was a blast to drive!
Yeah OK - the heat would come along in a few. Like riding a scooter in winter....proper gear was important! I never minded the heater - didn't want the auxiliary gas heater.

Later had fun with a green convertible like this one. I drove it with the top down in Massachusetts' winters! Snow goes right over out on I-91 on my drive home to Amherst. With the top down - the heat came roaring out of the dash and footwells.

But, if I could have any car - it'd be that red VW bus!
You?

best heat I ever had in a vehicle was my VW Vanagon, had a gasoline heater, and Vanagon's still had the tall wondering shift lever/pattern, my favorite VW though, was my brother's '57 VW bus "Rolls Conardly" rolls down one hill can hardly make it up the next, my brother didn't have original engine though, he had a beefed up 1600
I'm kinda liking my Nissan Frontier that I have now

Never as into cars as my bikes, in fact for long tracts of my adulthood I didn’t even own a car. Had access to a work pool car which I used when absolutely necessary.
One I remember fondly from my early driving years was a Ford MkII Cortina 1600E which took me all over Europe before I sold it at 120,000 miles to a workmate. It looked like this:
