old girl never let me down!Still going strong.

 

I can relate.

 

The best car I have owned in my opinion is by far the 2012 Volkswagen GTI, it is just so much fun to drive. The rest of the cars I have driven seem so mediocre.

 

I think the fact that your old X5 only had 54k miles on it is why you loved it. I know a lot of people with X5s, especially that generation and the problems reliability wise are severe with higher mileage.

 

The 2001 Nissan Maxima SE I just traded a year ago with over 230,000 miles on it. Great car. Built like a tank.

 

As soon as I saw the title I immediately knew it had to be my s2000, over the NSX I owned & my C63. The chassis is so well balanced & the handling is razor sharp, its hard to find another car that fun for the price. My s2000 had all the suspension mods you can throw at it & going to a nice canyon road with the top down & 9000 RPM redline was just pure bliss . Also it has the best manual transmission I've ever driven, bar none.

 

My current RX450h is surpassing the previous one in 'low cost of ownership, ride, economy, and tech features. My out of pocket expenses other than gas are 2nd set of tires and normal maintenance done at Toyota store. MPG is right at an overall average of 30mpg, nothing to complain about there.

My 2nd car is a 1st year model change 2014 Corvette Stingray that has just 5600 miles and some very minor issues with the HVAC controls (common in 1st year model runs for bugs to be fixed) but is an absolute joy to drive and I'm glad I have her. Late in life she's giving me Rock Star status . Only two seats and burns considerably more gas than the Lexus but the fun factor is over the top .

 

My Supra has 294k and still going strong

 

Not the best in every category, but for the overall combination of appearance, reliability, power, and fun, it would have to be my '06 IS 350. Only time will tell, but my IS-F is certainly on track to one day usurp that title.

Gotta be my current '11 genesis coupe 6mt. It's a blast to drive.

 

1998 nissan altima. I drove the car for 8 years and put 172k on her and she has NO problems! The thing was bulletproof.

 

MKII Toyota MR2 (non-turbo).

Over my others: 350Z, Cayman S, TT, Civic, Accord. I've been chasing cars trying to find that magic of the MR2 and it isn't available at any price or any marquee. Wish I never sold it.

 

I loved my 1995 Acura Legend coupe....KA8 with Type II engine.

 

My IS250 C was until I bought the Porsche Cayman, but I kept the IS, so I'm a very happy guy.
