I'll play:
all my cars:
1978 Plymouth Horizon - bought used in 1984 shared with my older sister.
Fine, reliable car until she melted the engine.
1965 Ford Mustang 289 4bbl V8 - used in 1985. Really a car that a 17
year old high school kid should never have owned. The car deserved
better than I could give it. Lots of quirky factory options including a
vinyl roof and seatbelts(!). It need a proper restoration but I sold it
for $500.
1986 Hyundai Excel GLS - used in 1987. F-ing piece of crap. Went
through two clutches and 3 water pumps. The water pumps literally
seized and exploded on all occasions sending the drive pulley bouncing
around the engine compartment.
1989 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L six - used in 1991. Really a great utilitarian,
true off-road truck with good reliability. The fit and finish was
atrocious. I used to say that I left a piece of trim every where I
parked. The paint suffered from the standard peeling malady that you
see on every Chrysler product of its era. I slid sideways into a curb
on a wet road and took out the suspension. The car was never the same
after that was repaired.
1988 Toyota Corolla - used in 1999. My mom's car. Reliable. Nuff said.
2000 Honda Civic EX - new in 2000. Best car purchase I could ever have
made especially at the time when I didn't have a lot of cash and was
going through a divorce. Most reliable car I've ever had. 194,800
trouble free (simple, regular, Manufacture recommended maintenance)
miles. As much as I'd like to buy some flashy boy-racer car (and I can
afford that sort of thing now), I'm keeping it for as long as it
continues to provide the day-in-day-out reliability.
