I have had two Honda CRV’s and liked both. The first one got wrecked a couple years ago. Got one a few years newer and like it even more. Good gas mileage, seat warmers, safety features such as back up cams and alert for cars coming near when I put on my turn signal or backing up and a car comes close, and they are easer to drive and park.
2006 Cadillac DTS. I have 184,000 no problem miles out of it and it's still running fine, looks great and rides like a Cadillac. I have two other newer vehicles, a Cadillac and and a Dodge Ram, but I drive the DTS most of the time in town.
That would have been my 2014 Subaru STI. Reasonably powerful, quick but not crazy, excellent seats, decent fuel economy (unless I was playing silly-bugger), amazing in all weather conditions, especially winter, just an incredibly driveable car. And absolutely reliable. Never back to the dealership other than for routine maintenance. Not once. And it held its value unbelievably well.
@JimboSaturn all Subarus I've driven have been great in winter, but the STIs were in a class by themselves. That electronically controlled center diff makes it a different sort of cat. Its limits on a slippery road were higher than mine.
1979 AMC Concorde. It was basically new and had been parked for several years. I got it for $500, and put over 400,000 miles on it. So many fishing trips, and so many back packing trips, and moving hundreds of miles from home... and then back.
Honda Accord, had a 2000 well over 200 k miles, got a 2013 and plugging along at 197k miles. Knock on wood very low maintenance cost other than oil changes
She growled and when I revved her in neutral her entire body shook. She was heavy and wide and was glued to every curve taken. The ease and quickness with which she hit 90mph confirmed I could get out of so many situations should I need to.
For speed, a 78 Chevy Nova with a 350 bored 20 over and a 4 barrel carb on a three speed manual with a posi rear and straight pipes. Sounded angry, ran like a madman, looked like a rusted out white primer nightmare.
For refinement, my current 2024 Toyota Venza XLE Nightshade. Smooth, quiet, comfortable and gorgeous.
