Well,
I am embarassed to say I am driving a 1994 Sentra as my daily driver.
It cost me $1000.00 about 3 years ago and gets 28mpg.
I have bounced it off of a guardrail and a honda and hit lots of potholes, it has a broken spring, a bent wheel, and a hole in the front bumper. The drivers side has a stripe from the guardrail and the trunk is filled with tools and Volkswagen parts. I hate my car but I cannot buy something new until it will not make it down the road anymore.
My other car is a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. It is an obnoxious 92 Harley Davidson Turquoise, has had all the chrome, bumpers, handles removed, and is powered by a silly 2165CC motor. Its rediculously loud and only leaks a little whenever you stop for longer than 15 seconds. The interior is not complete but it has 96 Hyundai seats and seat belts and the headliner and carpets will go in, in the spring when I get it back out of the barn.
There is also a 1964 beetle in pieces in the garage
Other cars have included:
1967 Firebird OHC6
1968 Firebird Conv.
1969 Firebird 400/P.Glide
1970 Firebird (S#$@Box)
1971 Firebird Esprit
1973 455 SD Trans Am
1956 F-100 Panel Truck
1966 F-100 4X4
1976 F-100 SB
1966 Beetle
1970 Beetle
1982 Malibu wagon
1989 Chevy S-10
1998 Chevy S-10 Ext Cab
Now I need a Volkwagen TDI or a Mini One We will see!

Which one of those (if any) would you have back if you could?

Practically,
The 82 Malibu Wagon.
It was easy to maintain, parts were cheap and I didnt care where I parked it
Honestly,
The panel truck I do miss
I sold it 4 years ago, I should have finished it, I should have....
It was the perfect Ugly Truck, a rarity, and an excellent Hot Rod project.
I had it for 4 years and kept it running while collecting parts to make it "Cool". I had a 429/C6 and a 9" sitting in it, all the parts for power brakes from Fat Man Fabrications and a donor mustang. The missing link was the front suspension, I wanted the Chrysler torsion bar kit but could not find the donor Cordoba for all the parts SO I SOLD IT! WTF was I thinking!
OK I'm done whimpering!
BTW I forgot on that list my 70 Lemans

Nice car but eats fuel at the rate of 30 miles to the gallon!

Well Norbert the BMW has gone...
In its place has arrived Bernard (I'll loose your license for you) the Impreza!
282 bhp, 150+ mph and I don't even want to think about how much fuel

Currently I have:
'87 Firebird
'94 Chrysler LeBaron convertible
'78 Buick LeSabre coupe

1993 Ford Escort Wagon......Hecho en Mexico.....It's got 139,000 on it 102,000 with me. I look back on the times it's quit on me....Once right around the corner from my mechanic's in 1998.....and if I remember correctly I think I deadsticked it right into his parking lot.....Three cars from entering the US at the Mexican border in Oct, 2002...and we pushed it across, then the customs pushed us to a safe waiting area...we then towed it to Pep Boys a few miles away and cabbed to the SD airport and rented a Ford Escape to get back to the LA area. Then last Wed the timing belt failed after an 18 mile journey to my gig, the second my wheels hit the parkinglot and I deadsticked it to the club's back door where I always unload. The car's been very reliable and I fit two keyboards in it, 2by12 guitar cabinet, monitor, stands and a huge rack of stuff for my weekend band gigs....At the moment the only possible replacement room wise seems to be a Saturn wagon....too bad the new Focus is too small and they've quit making Escorts. The car handles well and takes a lot of punishment, and believe me as an ex go kart racer I know how to give it. I've also whipped on WRC Subarus and Toyota Matrixes.

Can anyone in the Colonies explain Chryslers marketing, here in Offshore UK, I have a Chrysler Grand Voyager Limited.
On our recent trip to the Colonies, I noticed the same model marketed as the Plymouth Voyager, Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country, why the three different names for basically the same car ?
