The best... 1995 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. (220k "not easy" miles) Don't get me wrong the Porsche has been an excellent car that doesn't leak, sputter or give me any problems- but it is just a weekend toy.

The worst.... Don't laugh. 1998 Cadillac Catera, it was the extended warranty companies worst nightmare- the Bose sound system was incredible other than that it was junk.

Thanks for being so frank. I find that most people don't give a bean.

I considered getting one, but I didn't think it's cornering ability would cut the mustard. If it could, however, it would be French's yellow.

I donno, I've owned a lot of cars and some were real pieces of sh|t. I had one of those down sized luxury Fords that must have been in an accident cause when I put on the blinker the car accelerated with each blink, scary as crap at stop lights. One of my favorites but the worst car ever was a late 80s Audi 5000. I paid $9600 for it when the price dropped through the floor because of the acceleration issues. I bought an extended service plan and it covered $6800 in repairs in the 6 months I owned it. I ended up selling it for $8400 with the extended service plan to some sorry soul who's wife HAD to have one.
I've got a lot of favorites, my Boxsters are wonderful, my E350 was a dream, but my 88 mustang GT I bought new was a young mans dream. It was fast and had lots of torque. Drove it for 62,000 miles and I don't remember it breaking down once.

Best AND worst was a Lotus Europa. It was unique, fun and handled amazingly.
But, it was very unreliable and hard to work on. Both metric and SAE parts.
Ordering parts from England was slow and difficult at the time.
