2002 Hyundai Accent (4 cyl, manual)
1995 Nissan 300ZX (V6, manual)
2003 Infiniti G35 (V6, automatic)
2006 Nissan Maxima (V6, automatic)
2007 BMW 530i (I6, automatic)
2002 Honda Accord (4 cyl, automatic)
2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-SPEC (turbo 4 cyl, manual)
2009 Ford Fusion SEL (4 cyl, automatic)
2010 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 4.6 (V8, automatic)

The most reliable out of the bunch have been the Hyundai's, Ford and the 300ZX. The Infiniti, Honda and Maxima all had trans failures. The BMW has various far too typical German car issues.

Sorry I can't give the specific years of the models..but I remember all of my
"Buggy's" since I purchase my first vehicle..(won't mention the one's I drove that actually belonged to my family)

1. Ford Pinto 4 speed ( early 70's)
2. Mercury Capri 2000 4 speed (following massive car accident with above car)
3 Mustang Fastback -automatic v-8 ( too much speed and light back-end >weights in trunk needed!!)
4. Boss 302 Mustang (v-8 4-speed)
5. Sunbeam Tiger ( v-8 4-speed)
6. Thunderbird ( a big boat..LOL)
7. Ford Fairline 500 (3-0n the tree)
8. Firebird ( I called her "Firechicken" due to issues I have prior to engine replacement) LOL> 360 Air..means with open windows to cool off
9. Mercury Topaz- 5-speed (a/c /no extra's)
10. Mazda 3 - 2.3 ( bought new with ALL options except leather) and still driving it..Love it to bits!!

Just for a laugh..I will mention prior to marriage..I dated a guy who worked for British Motors/Toronto and often drove cars like Jaguar V-12/ Lotus ELan's, Triumph V-6....Boy did I have a ball..

This is fun to reminisce about stuff like this

I spent a lot less $$ than you but here you go.
-- 197x Plymouth Duster that lasted a short period of time - first car.
-- 197x Chevy Chevette - new worst car I ever owned
-- 197x Buick Skylark - pretty bad car
-- 1979 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi with an extra shifter that dropped the gear by 1/2 gear)
-- 1982 Dodge Challenger (new and Mitsubishi engine - lasted until my mom asked me
when I was going to get rid of it - put on 151 or 161k miles on it and it was still
mechanically sound). I actually sold it. It was still running fine.
-- 1992 or 93 Chevy Prizm (new and purchased only because it evolved as a joint venture of Chevy
and Toyota. It had been called the Chevy Nova. The Nova was fine but the Prizm was not.)
-- 1996 used Subaru Legacy sedan
-- partner got the 1996 Subaru Impreza Outback - new that died when I creamed it at 151k miles
-- 2004 Subaru Impreza (new and the seats were horrible)
-- partner replaced the baby Outback with a 2003 GMC Sonoma 3 door truck. She replaced it with:
-- 1999 Honda CRV and it was horrible. She got rid of it within a year and replaced it with
-- 2010 Toyota RAV4 - used and seats were horrible. I got really sick driving home five
hours following a day of ear/head surgery. I did not mess up her car but it was bad. Gas mileage
was horrible on it.
-- 2014 Kia Soul - new with and added sunroof
-- My Impreza had about 117k miles on it and ten years. I replaced it with
the most expensive car I've owned - a 2013 (prior year from 2014) Hyundai Elantra Ltd.
Has bells and whistles and the worst tires on a new car we've ever had (applies to her Kia, too).
-- This should be the last car I own. After a year of driving it, I have under 5600 miles on it
but I use my motorcycle in better weather for shopping and leisure drives. The miles
includes about six RTs of 600 miles in the year. This year, I'm no longer making those trips.
Even if it's a bad car (recommended by Consumer Reports), it should last !

Add a bunch of cruising motorcycles over 30 years to that. I'm still riding. You can't beat 60 mpg.

91 S10 Blazer Tahoe trim S(2wd, T designates 4wd)
77 K10 rcsb Cheyenne trim
88 Bronco XLT

Not much to brag about, since I have sold them all. Hopefully if I can find a job, I habe my eyes set on a 03-4 black P71 crown vic, with rubber floors and honeycomb grille. 03 is when they did major changes, 05 id when the went to tbw, and a P71 is least likely to have all the options the Sport(P73), and LX Sport(P74) would come with, I deem unneccesary, plus it's the better performing model besides the Maurader. Hopefully it'll have positraction as well.
