I'll include my wife's cars along the way, since I mostly paid for and definitely maintained 'em anyway:
- 1976 Datsun B-210 hatchback (4 speed, but couldn't get out of it's own way especially with the a/c on)
- 1980 Toyota Corolla SR5 hatchback (solid car, couldn't kill that 1.8 liter engine)
- 1970 sumith' Toyota Corolla rustbucket (used for delivering pizza exclusively)
- 1982 Toyota Celica GTS (wife's car)
- 1988 Nissan 200SX SE with the 3.0 V6 5 speed (my first new car, loved it). Handed it down to my wife and she ended up delivering pizzas in it, she loved the car too.
- 1990 Honda Civic 4 door for my wife, good car but she didn't like it. She was in her 20's and still wanting something more sporty.
- 1990 Nissan Pickup 4cyl, 5 speed. Bought it to pull my boat, big mistake.
- 1995 Toyota T100 xtra cab to actually be able to pull my boat. My first automatic vehichle. Loved that truck, solid 19 - 20 mpg and perfect size.
- 1992 Nissan Maxima SE (wife's replacement, was more sporty than the civic). My first disappointment in a vehicle. Many small problems (power windows, locks), and the tranny started fading prematurely at like 80K. Sold it before it became a money pit.
- 2002 Mazda MPV (current) for my wife. Has been a solid vehicle, no real problems except poor gas mileage. Great kid-hauler for the money. Really wanted a Honda Odyssey, but the deals on Mazdas were too good.
- 2005 Mazda 6 hatchback, 4 cyl, 5 speed. Love this car :yay : looks good, handles great, lotsa storage with the hatchback for the mountainbike, etc.. A little underpowered, but I have a long daily commute and I need economy over power. The 6 cyl version gets terrible mileage so I made the right choice.
