Best and Worst Car Experience

Best and Worst Car Experience
I thought I would start a thread to talk about the best and worst car experience members have had. Here I go:
Most Reliable Car Owned
2002 Chevy Suburban Z-71. Put 100k+ on it and only saw the shop one time for a warranty repair when nearly new.
Best Service Experience for a Car
My 2003 Saab 93 which I still have. They always treat me like a king and do anything I ask. I will definately own a Saab again.
Most Fun to Drive
Besides my Mustang, I have to go with my 1992 Mitsu Eclipse Turbo. I was young, and the car was really cutting edge back then. It was terrific.
Wish I Still Had
This is a tough one, but I have to say that I wish I still owned a Wrangler that I once had. Also, either of my Cherokees.
Biggest Pile of Crap
1990 Dodge Daytona ES. Loved the car, always broke down. Got rid of it under the Lemon Law.
Best Fuel Economy
2003 Saab 93 (33+ mpg)
Best Car to Road Trip
2007 Pacifica Limited AWD. Yeah, make fun of it, but this is a terrific car for a long trip.
Car I wish I bought, but never did (assuming you could have)
Wranglers.....still want to get one again.
Worst Seats
Numerous Dodge Intrepids that I had
Vehicle I am embarrased to say that I would like to have
I have two....a new Dodge Caravan and a Toyota Prius
Vehicle that I knocked-up my wife in
Yes, I got my wife pregnant in a 1997 Dodge Intrepid on the way home from a party - lol. We used to joke that we would name her "Intrepid". Boy, those were the days.

Most Reliable Car.. I'd have to say my 79 Ford Bronco
Best Service Experience For a Car: I haven't had one.. service places just screw me over, BIG time.
Most Fun to Drive: Either my mustang, or the f250 i was driving a while back
Wish I still had: Haven't owned enough cars for this one..
Biggest Pile of Crap: TBH my mustang.. headers cracked, cats cracked, window just broke..
Best Fuel Economy: My mustang ;x
Best Car to Road Trip: The mustang or my dads Chevy 2500...leg room..ya..
Car I wish I bought but never did: Uh..at this moment..an evo..
Worst Seats: The broncos, due to age.. and no headrests..
Vehicle I'm embarassed to say I'd like to have: Evo...its a jap car man..its hard for me..

Being that im only 20 and the Mustang is technically my first car.
But my Dad had an audi about 15 years ago that was a piece of crap.Everything kept breaking on it. I remember him telling me that one time he was driving with us on the highway and the accelerator stuck and kept gaining speed so the only way he could stop it was push on the brake and turn the car off. Needless to say my dad well never by a german car again or even get a silver car since the Audi was silver.
Ive always wanted a Saab just been iffy on how well they hold up. Maybe one day Ill get a Saab.

Most Reliable Car Owned
2003 Mustang GT- Haven't had a single problem in the two years I have had it that hasn't been fixed in under 5 minutes.
Most Fun to Drive
Same, GT
Wish I Still Had
I wish I had my old '95 sixer. That thing was goddamn awesome
Best Fuel Economy
My old sixer... consistently got 20mpg+
Best Car to Road Trip
My parent's Buick Rendezvous, I have been on a few with it and damn, comfortable for the long haul.
Worst Seats
Surprisingly my sixer had really comfortable seats, they were cloth, but velour. Not the wicker like hard material my friend's stangs have...
Vehicle I am embarrased to say that I would like to have
Embarrassed? I admit I have a little bit of a crush on the old Audi Quattro Coupes... also more embarrassingly I have a thing for really clean MKII Jetta's and Golfs.... yeah
Alot of the stuff has very little effect on me, as I am 19 and have owned only three cars... My 95 V6, my 03 GT, and a 98 A4 quattro I drive in the winter =D

most reliable-my dads old jeep grand cherokee, we took that thing through h3ll and it still drove good.
Most fun-I've only had two vehicles but in my truck I could basically do whatever I wanted cuz I didn't care about it so it was more fun than my stang.
Wish I still had-Well I miss my dads cherokee...
Best Fuel Economy-Compared to my truck, my stang
Best car to road trip-Definetly my dads excursion, its huge and diesel turbo so still fun to drive
Worst Seats-My dads old dodge ram
Vehicle I am embarrased to say I would like to have-Is a mini coupe, they just look fun to me. Don't think I could ever actually drive one though.

Most Reliable Car Owned
Probably this 94 Lexus ES300. Besides the valve cover gaskets one time, it really never had any problems. I could of drove that thing for 400k miles lol.
Most Fun to Drive
My GT.
Wish I Still Had
My dads old Torino Cobra. aha.
Best Fuel Economy
I honestly have never had a car get me over 17 mpg.
Best Car to Road Trip
Probably the crappy Lexus, comfortable seats.
Worst Seats
I've always had leather, but man, those cloth mustang seats suck really bad. I feel bad for people that have them.
Vehicle I am embarrased to say that I would like to have
Well, I wouldn't want my friend to hear this since we got a little rivalry going on, but probably a 350z. Its a really comfortable but fast daily driver. Its very practical to drive everyday. It rides pretty nice as well.
