Cars. Hot, hot cars. And trucks. Hot, hot trucks.

I was taught to drive a stick right away when I started driving and many of my vehicles have been manual.

This was like my very first vehicle but it was red! A pontiac sunbird. heh. That could haul ass! Ohhh I had fun in the snow with this!




I had one of these mazda's also. It was gold with purple and red lines on the sides. The vehicle was glittered with specks. heh.



I've also owned a Ford Tempo, Chrysler T&C,
Jeep Wrangler Soft Top with big tires and custom wheels,
Pontiac Grand Am,
Kia Spectra GSX that I put larger racing tires on and custom wheels. That ride was sweet and looked pretty similar to this one.




I currently own a Kia Sportage I am looking to possibly sell or trade for a sporty car or a pickup truck.

For those of you that have 4 door vehicles such as Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Infiniti, or even Ford, Chevy, etc.. or have owned in the past

and also pick up trucks (Ford, Dodge, Chevy, GMC, Toyota) . .

Tell me which MAKE do you find to be the most reliable as it gets older?


Thanks!

For sedans:

Hands down hondas civics and Honda accords. I believe that the honda civic is number one in the country for reliability.

You should be able to find this documented in many places if you do any research. Toyotas are a good choice, as well. Nissan is ok, I believe.

I am currently looking for a used Honda Civic with 100,000 miles on it for my stepson for college. No doubt it will run to 200,000 miles easily (if it has been taken car of, even so-so), so I am confident he will make it through the next four years no problem.

I don't know anything about trucks, but I believe that there are some long lasting American pick ups. I don't know about honda/toyotas for pick ups.

I would suggest you check out the reliability ratings on www.consumerreports.org. www.edmunds.com is a good source for car reviews.

Good Luck.

I do love the old camaro, but I also love the new ones! Mmmmm. If I have the means to do so, that's going to be my next car *grin*

The guy up the street from me has a '67 Nova. He loves that thing and obsesses over it the way I do my BMW Z3. The car obsession is a double edged sword, though. It is kind of masochistic to try to keep something that hurls down the road pristine.

I'd have to say Toyota. They are consistently ranked in the top for reliability. Have a Matrix that's going on 160k and I fully expect over 200k out of it. Toyota's are also known for their low maintenance. Heck! They tried to kill a Toyota Hilux (Tundra in the states) on the show Top Gear. Couldn't do it. The videos on YouTube are worth watching!

Dapper-Any new Ford is fine by me.

Here's my car. Not my specific car, but make and model -- and color.

[AnnRkey]

I've never been a Ford kind of gal. Chevys are about the only American cars I like, and of course GTOs are my true loves. Vettes are prolly the sleekest cars around.

[stephfromMIT]

Just at cars.com, built my dream truck. It's a GMC Sierra.

A masterpiece....

I had no idea you loved Chevys too!

I have owned a 67 Nova, 68 Camaro and 63 Impala. All sweet cars.

Now, I drive a 2010 Honda CRV. What happened?
