My car has a clutch. My wife can’t drive it. It’s exhausting when something goes wrong with her car.

Sold my Miata for this reason and I regret it every day.

My wife and I do this. We both have broncos. What you would call “mine” is a 2 door mostly used for off-roading and I leave the top off a lot. Hers is the 4 door luxury version with all the fancy things.

We take whichever depending on the situation. We will take mine if it’s nice and we want the top off or we have to park in a shitty parking lot, being 2 door it’s much easier to navigate. We take hers for long trips since she has the radar cruise control and lane assist and much better gas mileage.

Yup, that's how we do it. We have kids and two cars: minivan and hybrid sedan. The hybrid gets more than 2x the mileage vs the minivan, it's smaller, and both of us prefer it, so it's what we use 90% of the time. We take the minivan if we're all going somewhere, or we both need to be somewhere at the same time. I'll also take the minivan for cargo (hardware store, dump, furniture store, etc).

Before we had kids, we had one car. When we both needed to be somewhere at the same time, I'd take my bicycle or the bus, and my SO would take the car.

Each person having "their" car makes no sense to me, I see cars as tools in the toolbox, and we take the one that's best suited to the task at hand.
