What Is Your Favorite Non-Mazda, That You"ve Owned
#103
I had a 1979 Toyota Celica that was an awesome car. I loved that thing. I think it was the first year they made a sedan style instead of the hatch. In terms of reliability, my last car before the 2012 Mazda 3 was a 2005 Hyundai Elantra Hatch GT bought new that had 55,000 miles on it when it got totaled. It was a great car and had the coldest AC out of any car I have ever owned. The only issue the car had in those miles was a dead battery. Not one single even minor issue at all. Not even brakes or anything. Worst car I have ever owned-->Without a doubt an e36 BMW 325i shipped from Germany. Was fun to drive but it had lots of issues and even minor things on it were WAY too expensive to fix. Also it was a really weird car, that had tons of random electrical issues develop throughout my ownership. I had a lot of trouble doing even basic things on it myself. Tons of aspects of the car were so overthought and over compicated, it was basically just a way of forcing you to have to go to the dealer for everything. Would never buy one again.

Ohhh, a Jensen Interceptor; I was stupid enough to agree to doing a tune-up on one of those beasties many-many years ago. That Magnum 440 stuffed in that (relatively) small car made for lots of busted knuckles getting to the spark plugs. I politely refused to work on it after that.
