I've only got a `93 Ford Sierra but I'm happy with it. It's the car I'd have over what a lot of my friends are driving.
The only car I ever remember my family having that worth remembering was a Rover SD1. It was a 3.5 V8 so it definately wasn't slow compared to most of the cars on the road in the UK. It had a serious amount of power to overtake and what not even though it ended up being considered slow by critics seeings it was a V8 and it was a heavy car. They also ended up being considered unreliable otherwise it would have been a great car from Rover. They were half way there with a lot of the chosen engine specs and electrics but were let down by a lot of the quality and overall design.

Thanks, but believe it or not its pretty much just a mediocre car down here where I live. When I go upto montreal, Im like a moviestar or something. It's like everyone hit the lottery down here in NY or something; lol.

And nothing is cheaper than a cheap guy (read "cannot afford new car smell") to get a cheap used car, then blame brand new cars having cheap plastics.
Nonthing is lower then you making quotes about what people drive in. Or how much that person has to spend on what they drive.
I drive in a 1990 Lincoln Town Car. Yes it's 14 years old, but it's freaking awesome as a travel car. Just last summer I took it to Ohio and back. No problems. And I also drive it on a daily bases.

Yeah, but my "used old car" and "beaten to death" blah blah blah blah ride that actually does what it needs to do without a fuss. This is the same "used old car" and "beaten to death" blah blah blah blah that had to help my brother who had a 98 Eclipse GST with the "new car smell" move his personal stuff from San Diego to Riverside and back and from Riverside to Irvine and back. His ride couldn't handle squat, even if you removed the sub that he stashed in the trunk....awesome ride it was, but other than cruising PCH or State St. it couldn't do much. Chances are he's gonna require the assistance of the "used old car" and "beaten to death" blah blah blah blah ride when he moves again...his 98 Audi A4 (again an awesome ride) isn't gonna help them in this regard. I don't mind driving this "beaten to death" ride to help family out...
And, my this is the very same "used old car" and "beaten to death" blah blah blah blah ride that helps me move my stuff in one trip without blocking my view of the rear windows from San Diego to Santa Barbara.
And, this "used old car" and "beaten to death" blah blah blah blah ride is called a 1987 Plymonth Voyager.

Where do you get off putting down used cars? There's nothing wrong with them if you know what you're looking for.
I've got 2 used cars extremely cheap (less than Ł100 each) and there's been nothing wrong with them and needed nothing doing to them. They were both being driven when they were bought. One car is a `93 Ford Sierra, which I drive myself, and has been with me for a few years. Still looks good today. The other car is a `87 Saab 9000i but isn't been driven on the road at the moment (no need for it to be at the moment) but was given a hard drive before it was parked up and was fine. Even after sitting through the winter for months the car still started first time with no problems.
Just because they're old and used it doesn't mean they're a pile of crap. My grandad has a `90 Ford Orion he bought from new and it puts cars that are even quite new on the road to shame. The finish looks like the car is still brand new and even though a lot don't believe him, he's still got the exhaust on it that came with it when it was new. It's only just started to blow recently. Not sure of the mileage but I know it's not low for it's age.
