Picture related, pal.
Purchase price $8k. Oil, tires, alignment...less than $1000 in service and reliability for four years. Need I go into comfort?
caring about fuel economy is for poor people
my E39 M5 was the best daily I ever had.
My 2012 Civic Si. All around good vehicle.
>>14000689
tfw Iv only owned sports cars and I would consider none of them comfy
Super stiff suspension, bucket seats that aren't uncomfy, but they aren't cozy easier

>comfort
not a corolla
>economy
cheaply outfitted yes, fuel economy Toyota lags the industry
>reliability
kek but only after all the recalls and TSBs are performed, and then it's perfectly reliable until the next round of recalls and TSBs
>>14000773
>not a corolla
The S trim is the most comfortable sub-compact I've driven. And I've driven many sub-compact cars while traveling for work.
>cheaply outfitted yes, fuel economy Toyota lags the industry
The Corolla has one of the highest fuel economies in its class, and even offers an eco model.
>
kek but only after all the recalls and TSBs are performed, and then it's perfectly reliable until the next round of recalls and TSBs
No recalls on my Corolla yet, while my mother's Civic from the same year has been recalled twice.
Anything else? As a happy Corolla owner I have no problem setting the record straight.

100% opinion. I think the current S trim Corolla is the best looking Corolla they've made. But I do agree on some models like the Rav 4 and the base trim Camry.
>Toyota got fucking complacent over last decade
I don't think it's complacency. I feel like they're dumping their "exciting" ideas into Scion, and keeping the Toyota brand family friendly and some would say, boring.
>>14000858
I'm not even him. So there are two people who think you're retarded in just this thread.
>>14000790
>The S trim is the most comfortable sub-compact I've driven.
Drive more sub-compacts. The Corolla was horrible to drive, even with the Camry engine.
>>14000790
>The Corolla has one of the highest fuel economies in its class,
The Corolla has the oldest, least efficient engine ranges with several much newer, higher powered engines beating it in fuel efficiency.
>No recalls on my Corolla yet
Isn't it a 2014?
>As a happy Corolla owner I have no problem setting the record straight.
The record for Toyota's careless fuckups is already cemented.There is nothing you can do to hide it, and there's nothing I can say to make it worse. Toyota is very much a cult-psychology brand and replies like yours only inadvertently reassure us that it's still very much the case.

At least you have the sense to qualify the statement as "best looking Corolla". That doesn't actually say much.

So we've got bad piston drain which is easily solvable.
We've got head bolt issue. First I've heard of as I don't care about this engine.
We've got v6 head gasket. No surprise there. Crazy old news.
Stuck pedal from owners stacking floor mats.
So what's your issue?
Seems to me Toyota is so awesome that they will pay out millions to the customer even when it's not their fault and they stay on top of design flaws and fix them.

>Whats the best daily driver you've ever had?
99 Cadillac Eldorado ETC
Extremely comfortable and the interior layout has so many compartments to put your things. Everything in that car is perfectly placed.
>Overhead compartment for sunglasses and insurance card.
>Flip down cup holder in front of console for phone, house keys, gum or other small items.
>Large door pockets for papers, CDs, flashlights or whatever else.
>Large seat pockets for papers, notebooks, tablets, laptops.
>Recessed door compartment for smokes/lighter/gum or anything small.
>Locking center console big enough for three handguns
>Massive trunk
>Glovebox is absurdly small though lol
Everything in that car is just placed perfectly. It's perfect for long trips and anyone who spends a decent amount of time in their car. Every other car I've owned has felt so inadequate in terms of functional interior design. That's not to say the Eldo has the "nicest" interior, but it's incredibly well designed and layed out. Anything I'd ever need while driving was always just a reach away and I never had to take my eyes off the road to get to it, whereas most other interiors will leave you digging around or pulling over to find your shit.
1/2
>>14001529
2/2
>Comfort
8-9/10 The ride on the ETC isn't as forgiving as a base Eldo, but still very smooth and the seats are top notch on long drives. Not tight like a racecar, but sporty and supportive enough to keep you in place while still being comfortable like a Cadillac should.
>economy
Meh... Not very good. I think advertised was 18-24, but in real world conditions I got 16 city but could average 26+ highway if I kept my foot out of it.
>reliability
Remarkably reliable. These cars have a bad rep for headgaskets but I drove mine 200k without an issue. Even in the event of HG failure a stud kit is a great solution that will ensure you'll never have an issue again. I do think build quality on 99 and older cars was better than 00+. in 00 they moved manufacturing from Hamtramck to Lansing and I owned an 02 for a while and it was riddled with minor issues that I never dealt with on either of my 99s.
>>14000730
Fuck that thing looks incredible for $8k

Best so far comfort wise was my 1998 XJ8. Reliability wise, 1993 Del Sol beater. Same with economy, that fucker was bulletproof and got 30+ to the gallon easily.

My 2011 Malibu.
2010 Mazda Miata
Job requires me to drive around the continental US. Little guy allows me to have fun doing so. Winter in New Hampshire was hell until I put some winter tires on it.
As for fuel economy, 25/30 smiles per gallon. Trunk space doesn't matter to me much, as all I have is a computer toolbag and a laptop most of the time.
Full coilovers and adjustable suspension for long trips or a nice Sunday ride.
Besides routine maintenance, I do all the work myself. Once crashed it into a snowbank, replaced the radiator and front fascia, and all was good.
Couldn't ask for a better car for my desires, going to drive it into the ground, then going to get the newest model.

The difference in base price between the E46 and E39 is quite obvious. The E39 cost about $15-20k more than the E46 new, and it shows. The only time I would suggest an E46 over an E39 is if you're planning on taking it to a track. If not, E39 all the way.

1989 nissan micra L 1.0
did 60mpgs at 70 with a 4speed
had the comfyest of 80's foamy as fuck seats
took it over 100mph(off the clocks) with 3 people and boot full of luggage
2 years of ownership and the only thing that happened was one h/t lead fell out when i cornered too hard into my estate.
had no rev cut either so i took it to 60 in 2nd multiple times and it gave no shits.
beats the shit out of a 1.8 na mx5 i had in terms of fun
would be still running strong today if my m8s hadn't butcherd the sweet little thing to death
keep trying to find another one but mine was mint, had no rust and 60k on it. genuinly makes me depressed remembering that i sold it for parts for the mx5. fucking memecars.

>>14008819
>S60R
what year? reliable?
>>14000644
My 2015 Silverado has surprised the shit out of me. I avoided buying a truck forever and spent most of my life in muscle cars but a couple of years ago I bought a 2014 Mustang GT and hated every moment I had to spend in it. That car just did not work for me so I traded it back in June for a big, comfortable, LTZ and I'll never go back.
Granted reliability isn't something I can speak to yet because I've only had it 6 months give or take (6 carefree months but that should be a given) but it's crazy comfortable and the mpg is amazing to me. Last time I was around trucks they were going through gas like it was 99 cents a gallon (which it was). This truck gets over 20mpg in the city which probably doesn't impress anyone in here but I'm pretty happy with it. The Mustang was going through premium unleaded way faster and now I can buy cheaper gas and get more out of it.

If those are the criteria you're using, a 1999 Rover 45 1.4. Never let me down, great on fuel as you'd expect from such a small engine and, between the 75 seats they put in them and a far better ride than a rebodied Eg Civic has any right to, a surprising degree if comfort.
Thing was just a bit gutless and not a lot of fun to push hard.

>>14000644
Of the three daily drivers I've had none was better at all three criteria than the others.
> Comfort
It's close but that goes to my Subaru Outback. My Mazda 6 has slightly comfier seats. However better highway ride, the heated seats, heated mirrors, and remote start made the Outback a more overall comfier daily driver.
> Economy
Hands down the Ford Escort. The Subaru did terrible, and the Mazda isn't particularly great either.
> Reliability
So far the Mazda 6 has been the most reliable. Subaru stranded me several times. The Escort never had an issue until the engine blew.
