A 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. It was faster than my cousin’s 2005 Ford mustang. That is why it holds a special place in my heart. It was damn shame though, because some stupid bitch rear ended my Pontiac Sunfire while she was on her phone driving her ugly as fuck dodge caravan. I felt like I lost my true sports car. To make it worse, due to the shit economy I had to default to a 1994 Toyota Corolla wagon
This one. 2014 Honda Accord with manual transmission. I love this car, and want it to last forever.
Second favorite was a Chevy Geo Prism, also manual (I kinda hate automatic transmission) that got the best gas mileage of any car I have owned before or since. Overhead cam, perfect engine design. Body fell apart, but that engine would not stop and was so efficient.
2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse! Pearlescent Sunset, SE spoiler, pedals, and SE stripe. Decent sound system, handled great in the snow, and was fast enough to get me in trouble! I had it for 11 years, solid car.
I have a 91 Chevy S10 that I will likely be buried in. I’ve had it for nearly 15 years and it’s my favorite. I learned to drive in an S10 and sadly we had to sell that one. I bought the current one as a “replacement” and I love it even more. It is objectively not that great, but it’s clean and runs well and when it dies, it’s getting a V8.
My first car was a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix, and the thing was a tank. It was my favorite car I’ve ever had up until I got a 2018 Mercedes GLA a couple years ago, which is also a tank and objectively the best car I’ve ever had.
I’ve had about 20 cars in the last 16 years, from an '88 Plymouth Reliant to an '82 Datsun King Cab pickup to an '08 Subaru Outback. But my favorite is my '20 4runner because I don’t have to think about bringing my tools and extra fluids/belts along on a road trip.
That said, man I had some great memories driving around in my '91 Honda Prelude with a 5 speed and a loud stereo. Always felt cool driving that car, even though the speedometer didn’t work, the transmission grinded on every shift due to worn out synchros (if you didn’t double-clutch), and the engine burned a quart of oil every 400 miles!
I’ve never owned a car myself, but my fam swears by the Datsun 280z, especially thanks to its dependence on standard parts. My grandpa’s Z was nearly a ship of Theseus, with only a few original parts remaining when he died, maintained by him and my uncle.
grand caravan. minivans already start as the most versatile vehicle around. Able to haul cargo and people equally well while having mileage that only gets beat by small cars. Basically it was honda or toyota that had the rear folding seat but dodges flip and fold brought it to a new level and they were good about having the captains chairs be comfortable. This is actually the main reason we have a minivan. It is the easiest vehicle to get in and out of for the driver and front row passenger. The captains chairs are at perfect but height for a human and most people don't really have to climb up into them or overly drop into them. Seriously if you ever see an occupational therapy handout for getting in and out of a vehicle, look at the pictures, they almost always use a minivan. Then dodge did the same thing with the roof rack. can fold it in for better mileage and fold them out when needed rather than having to retrieve them from sitting in the garage. Unfortunately they messed up the pacifica in that its captains chairs are less comfortable (and its more expensive and for some reason they took out the ability to vent open the rear window which was another nice thing.)
