Worst; 1967 Triumph GT6. It was a prototype for the model that was released into mass production in 1968. Bought it when I was in high school in 1977 with 110,000 miles on the odometer. It needed repair constantly and finally became a pretty reliable car after I bought a '68 several years later and merged the two cars into one. Fun car to drive around when it was running. Cool looking car many described as a poor man's Jaguar. Sold it in 1984.

Best: 2012 Lexus RX350. Not a driver's car, but still very nice, especially on long road trips and has lots of space for our two big dogs. Lots of cool features, rides nice and expect it will be even more reliable than our 2007 RX350 was. It is the wife's daily driver, but I have to admit, I like driving it too.

Not on the best or worst list: 1980 Triumph TR8. Totally reliable and fun to drive with the factory 3.5 liter (Rover/Buick 215) V8. Bought it in 1988 with 18k miles and sold it in 2010 with around 85k miles. Great car, but not in the same league as the 2003 Boxster S I bought in 2008. Was fun to have them both around but I found I hardly ever drove it after buying the Boxster.
