Im using wifes old car, mazda protege. Was serviced properly since new, now has over 250000 and runs like a champ, if rust was not an issue I could run it for couple more years. Pathfinder for backup and boat tow.
I will never get over my VW jetta, 1984 GLI coupe, believe it or not i was 7th owner and had over 800000km on it. Fishing, navex rally, sprint racer, and poker runner, she did it all until some idiot made a u-turn in a one way street and attempted to run over my car. Hands down cheapest and easiest car to fix on your own. One time she shot a sparkplug by silvan lake, i ran her on three cylinders all the way to calgary. She is greatly missed to this day.
