A small '03 Tacoma pickup, 5-speed. The thing is 6 years old and It has yet to reach 45K miles. It's still like new because it is always parked in the garage. It's just your basic little four-banger but it does what I need it to do!
'99 Ford Escort - bought new for my daughter; it's falling apart now, although it still runs and gets her from point A to point B; hope to replace it in the next couple of months .... many with a Ford Focus?
'04 Toyota Sienna minivan - bought at the time for carpooling, but it's been great for hauling stuff other than people. Decent gas mileage (lifetime 25.1 mpg) for its size and engine. And it only has 37K miles on it.
'06 Toyota Prius - bought when there was a $3150 tax credit for it; bought when gas wasn't nearly as expensive as it got last year, but the handwriting was on the wall. Absolutely love this car.
Recently sold an '87 944. Loved that car - just didn't drive it a lot anymore. Maybe I'll pick up a 951 or an S2 someday. Now I'm down to just a 2000 Celica GT-S. Both cars are total garage queens and still look new.
2008 Tacoma TRD Sport- Love Toyota's and have nothing but outstanding results.
2006 Toyota Solara - Awesome car great fuel economy perfect reliability and performance.
I have a 1993 Cadillac Eldorado which is a Coupe and does not fit any of the categories you offer.
I have it because, being a Cadillac, it is an awesome vehilce, and I have a coupe because I never buy four-door cars. Ever. Of the 14 cars that I have owned in my life, none of them have been four-door and if I can help it, none of them ever will.
I also have a Ford Explorer Sport (SUV), also NOT a four-door. LOL

I'm a huge Toyota fan myself. Before I had this little pickup, I had an '89 Camry with almost 300,000 miles. It still ran great and rode like a dream. The electric windows and electric sunroof all worked perfectly. It even had electric seats. The only reason I sold it was because the AC went out and I had a mom/pop place replace it for $600 (mistake). The AC went out again and I found out a factory replacement was going to run me in the $2500 range.
I currently have a 1992 Buick Roadmaster Wagon with 182 k miles and a 1996 Subaru Legacy Outback Wagons. The Buick is one of the best highway cruisers ever made and did not cost much money 50 k miles ago. The Subie is the perfect New England winter car and cost twice as much money as the Buick 40 k miles ago.
I buy cars at the bottom end of the market and spend a couple of aditional grand to make them good enough for another few years. I am buying transportation not status.
One of the neatest and most fun to drive on a snowy road was a 1982 RWD Toyota Corolla. I gave that away to a new home because I did not have the time and was too cheap to pay for the rust repairs.
I totalled my Z28 4 years ago. Got it for $7000. No major problems with it. Has 180,000 miles on it. I do enjoy going off-road a little on the family land (for shooting, etc) and its all-wheel drive so it drives great in the rain/snow/mud/etc.
