Despise my wife's Subaru Outback (1995, first year of the car). About every 3 months I have to retighten the left rear spark plug or it will shoot out of the engine. And to get to the plug you have to pull a fluid reservoir, hold your mouth right and pray (cuss). Fuel economy is decent, seats are horrible.

Tolerate my 94 Ranger (2.3l, 5spd, 2wd). Has just shy of 190K miles on it. Low 20s mpg.

Love my 49 Dodge, but parts are hard to find. Especially for 6 cylinder flathead engines.

Best bang for my buck? Cal-look Super Beetles.

We have a Vibe on the farm. My 86 year old father in law tends to go curb hopping with it... Other than bent wheels (easy to replace) and the color coat scuffs easily it seems to be an okay car. That accelerates like a top fuel drag car.

Or you could have a little beauty like this for about 5 grand.
