    2007 Mazdaspeed3. Drove until I hade 175,000kms on it had no issues other than regular maintenance: new tires, brakes, etc.


    Great little car and when they first came out no one knew what it was just thought it was a stock Mazda 3. Looked allot more like a sleeper than the current versions with the hood scoops.

    I've never had a vehicle leave me stranded. I've never had a major failure (engine/tranny) in any vehicle. I've never had a repair that cost more than $300 and even the few near that price were caused by abuse. I've owned nearly every brand over the years too. I don't subsribe to brand loyalty. Treat a vehicle right, it'll treat you right.

    IF I had to brag on one specific vehicle, it would be my 2008 Mustang GT. 43,000 miles in two years, 300+strip passes, 40+ 10lb bottles of N2O. Still on stock clutch when traded. 7 sets of tires but that may have been fault...

    99 Ranger...I still have it even though I bought a Taco. Truck is harder than Sheffield steel. If Ford still made them I would have bought one. Original water pump, fuel pump, starter etc.

    My 1999 Ford Sexcort. Had it senior year in high school. Took it for canyon runs yanking on the e brake to "drift" around corners (stupid, I know), and the fucker kept going. Forgot how many miles were on it. Lived that thing.

    My 03 Camry with 60K. Purchased new for my wife, now driven by my daughter. Only failure was a brake light switch. Intake manifold was replaced due to noise. It should be around for a long time.

    93' Toyota Camry, 350,000 miles with basic maintenance. Loved that thing. I remember at the end of it's life when I could only get it up to 35 MPH over semi steep bridges with the pedal to the floor. That thing was a trooper.

    A 1996 Ford ranger XLT 4 cylinder standard shift I bought new and that I still have. It has around 400k on it and does not use oil. The tail pipe is a clean as the day I bought it except some slight rust. Everything works except the in cabin circulation setting for the air conditioner. Regular air works fine even in 95 to 100 degree heat. Only complaint is it is a dog for power.

    My first car, 98 4Runner 5speed. Got it in 2005 with 46,000 miles and sold it to my brother in 13 with around 150k. Besides regular maintenance, nothing bad happened whatsoever. No check engine light, no leaks, no weird noises. I won't say I got lucky either, the 3.4L is legendary.

    1994 Ford Ranger. Has been in the family since new and my DD since 2000. It has 175K and all I've done is oil changes. The only thing to break was a slave cylinder which was a quick $40 fix.

    It's still running great and I'm donating it today to a woman that needs a car.

    Loved the 88 so much, my next car was a 91 convertible. No issues out of that one either.

    I just lost my baby... A 97 Plymouth Breeze. I had the "silver bullet" since college, bought it in 2000. 304,000+ miles on it. 5 speed Transmission finally bit the dust. Greatest car I have or ever will own. Tires/plugs/alternator/thermostats are the only thing I ever had to replace.

    1983 Toyota Cressida 225k and only needed 2 water pumps, alternator, and the trunk leaked. The 6cyl DOHC had some balls too.
