2002 Honda Civic - I love it. It gets great gas mileage and is a fun car to drive.

'95 Toyota Camry--a great economical and reliable car.

'02 Toyota Sienna minivan--again, very reliable

'93 Honda Civic--First family car we bought new. Though it remains in my name, my 19 year old daughter drives it. Despite having 168,000 on it, the car still gets 32 mpg around town. Except for maintenance, it has never needed a repair! :)

GBR, That does sound very inticing. Looking at me spending at least 85 dollars a week on gas, 40 would be GREAT!

Plus payments would be cheaper than on my truck im sure.

the TDIs are great but I thought they don't meet Wisconsin emissions? Otherwise I probably would have gone that route. The diesel engine will last forever.

I had for over 300,000 a 1990 Mercedes 300E. Best car I ever owned. One of my closest friends still has it. His wife drives it daily, over 400K on it.... Still running strong.

Should have never sold that car... Miss it all the time.

Rare? I didn't think so, see them all the time. Definitely fun to drive..got both the auto and tiptronic..wish I had the paddles, but still fun. Got the sunroof as well.

Definitely moves, but honestly, it isn't a bmw. But, alot less problems then a bmw. It is just a souped up camry built in japan.

When I bought it, i was coming out of a very abusive saab and german relationship. I wanted a no drama relationship, and the IS has provided just that. Haven't had one problem.

"Cars you should have never sold"

My first Jeep Wrangler. I bought it new, and I still beat it to hell. Tough SOB. I pussied the second one.

My first car was a '76 Red Volare Station Wagon. My second one was a '78 Pontiac Grand Lemans Station Wagon. The second one had wood paneling. Think Clark Griswold. It was sweet growing up poor. Hell, I was excited just to have a car. I didn't have one in high school. I was excited until I found out that half my paycheck would go to liability insurance on the focker.

I bought a Buick station wagon once, old fleet car for some local drilling company. Sucker was a war-wagon...had a 350 in it with a posi rear end. Just beat it to hell. Went like mad in the snow.

Yep.....once that vehicle started sliding in the snow, about all you could hope for was to hit some pavement, or you just waited 'til the car hit the curb or a snowbank to slow down the momentum. Of course, that car was so low-slung that in the winter it was often below the level of the snow, so sometimes at intersections, I just gave her hell and hoped I made it.

Go to your local library and check out Ralph Nader's Unsafe At Any Speed.

It is an excellent book about the many defects in GM's Corvair.

I had the opportunity to drive a Corvair in '72 when a roommate loaded me his car. I could not believe how poorly it handled driving 55-60 mph on the freeway! I literally had to clutch the steering wheel with both hands to keep in in the lane.

At the time, the car was only 2-3 years old.
