What a fun topic!
My small 1/2 Egyptian Arab is very much like a Honda Accord.  Smooth, a 
little too much road noise, runs forever, low maintenance, no breakdowns or 
repairs so far, not as tight turning radius as a Subaru Outback wagon, 
powerful on the uphills, goes anywhere, jumps logs (oops, that doesn't fit 
the Accord), crosses any kind of water (better than the Accord).  Besides, 
he just looks like one...in a horsey sort of way.  Classy and pretty.
