geforce posted:For the cash/comfort ratio, my 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL was really hard to beat. This car was a moving couch, with air conditioning, cruise control, electric seats&windows, automatic lights, etc!  A-bodies forever! I had a '92 Century with the 3.3 and a three speed. That has been the most reliable car I've had. in seven months of ownership I put nearly 19k miles on it and did not have a single issue with it. With a mild hybrid retrofit, aka stop-start technology*, it even got 25 mpg in the city.Here it is looking its best with some 15s from a Silhouette. Click for big, if you so desire  As for the best, it has to be my first car, which was also an A-body. 1984 Pontiac 6000. Bought for $20 with a full tank of gas and a clear title in 2002. I drove it for a year without putting more than $100 into maintenance, and it just didn't die, even though it should have. Haggled a full set of brand new tires out of Discount Tire for $102. Suspension completely blown so it bounced off the bump stops when going over speed bumps, no muffler, X-code 2.8L 2-bbl V6 with 110 hp, 3 speed auto without lockup. I learned so much from it, like how a transmission without a service history should not have its fluid changed, or it could die (it did). * When sitting at a light, I would stop the engine, then start it when the light turned green.
