2015 Audi S5 convertible (haven't sold it just yet), and had a E93 BMW M3 convertible prior to my Model 3 Performance.... Enjoying the eerily quiet cabin now!
Wow! What a great question! We sold our 350z roadster after 10 wonderful years and we traded in our 2015 Nissan Rogue. Nissan out....Tesla in! Today is our last fill up at the gas station!

My LR RWD 4/18 build replaced 2 cars, a BMW 2014 535d that had come off of a lease in 2017 and a 2013 VW Passat TDI, I let my wife drive my VW for 9 months while I drove my work truck and we got used to sharing a car so we just got one of the two reservations we had, I really wanted a second model 3 but in the end we decided one was enough, judging by the 25k miles in the first year you wouldn't know but we make it work, on the plus side I don't put hardly any miles on my work truck.
Sold my modded 6spd 335i and got the p3d+
2013 Kia Rio. Seriously. I drive so much I never wanted to spend money on a car after owning a couple nice ones when I first graduated. They were unreliable and cost a ton to drive. So I spent 15 years with cheapest thing I could get with the best warranty cause after four years I’d driven it to death. When the model 3 was unveiled back in 2016 I thought ‘now there’s a car I’d spend money on’ and deposited straight away. Never looked back and although I already have almost 32k miles in a year on it, I’m glad I did. Thrilled really. Love that car and it was worth finally spending some money on a car. No test drive coming from a Kia was no worry to me.

I traded in my daily driver WRX with almost 70,000 miles on it. This is one of the photos I sent to Tesla for trade in value, which beat CarMax by a decent amount.
My wife requires AWD vehicles. It was a decent car but direct fuel injection IMHO results in fouled valves so I wanted a different car. I went from Shell premium to cheap electric. I drive over 15,000 miles a year and according to TesliFi I used $40 of electricity over the past month. Amazingly cheaper to run!
