I daily a 2005 Lincoln Town car that's been well maintained and its awesome! No rust anywhere and the paint and interior still look new. One of my favorite parts about it is the solid metallic clink when you shut the doors, nothing sounds like that anymore. Plenty of compliments at the gas station too! This car and its counterparts on the same platform are some of the more reliable older cars. Most of the repairs i can do on my own haven't had to have anything done at a shop yet. 138,000 miles so far. Best of all its paid off!
Drive a 92 Honda civic hatchback, 97 Acura Integra, and a 07 Acura TL type s manual. The civic is raw but feels alive and light, simple and no screens and the Integra gsr is similar and I keep all the suspension and mechanicals at tip top shape and is a fun practical coupe. So practical that I’ve put complete b series powertrains in the trunk. My TL is a great grand tourer and I never worry about driving country in either car which I have in all 3. All three have hydraulic steering, upgraded bushings (hardrace), upgraded brakes with SS lines, pads, etc. none have a fart can grown up upgrades. They all take premium but they’re efficient, oil changes cost nothing since I buy all the same synthetic oil and filters in bulk. Mechanical hand brake, NA engines, all have LSD’s. Oh and the tech isn’t so far advanced that it doesn’t dissuade you from working on it. Cheap, reliable, small (eg,dc2), efficient, consumables are low, insurance is cheap minus hagerty, great visibility, and fun
My 2001 Nissan Sunny (called the Sentra here in South Africa) is a wonderful car. It has manual gearbox, manual window winders, no cat, no egr, no abs and no airbags. It's a 1.4 litre na DOHC with port injection. It's easy to work on if needed, but it just runs fine every day. The interior plastics below the dash got sticky, but I just don't touch them🤭 As long as the steering wheel and gear lever aren't sticky, I'm fine😊. This car is still in mint condition, and I'll probably drive it another 24 years😅
Do you daily drive a 20, 30, or 40 year old car? What’s it like?
