What is your all time favorite automobile?
Of the ones I’ve owned, probably the first new car I bought with my own money. It was a 1990 Nissan Sentra, a horrible car — boxy ugly and did not age well (died miserably.) But I paid it off and owned it outright (long before said miserable death.) That said, my sense of sentimentality is not so strong that I can’t admit that it was a shitty car, and I probably made many rookie mistakes in purchasing it. I later owned a Toyota that was a much better car — also looked more like a car than the crate one comes in.
As for cars overall, something affordable, quiet, reasonably comfortable on a long haul, but cheap to fuel. I’m even less a fetishist than a sentimentalist.
Tiger Riding for Beginners 
my old ford fiesta – very robust, bought for next to nothing in a rural community where I could trust recommendations in the east of Bavaria – it then took me all the way to North Wales and then some – was only replaced when I needed a vehicle to tow my caravan for work, 10 years later again 😮

Have to say an early 2000s Subaru WRX. They’re quick, look good, can carry 4 comfortably (or 5 in a pinch) and with all wheel drive you’ll even make it through a Canadian winter.

My favourite all around car.
