AE111 with a 5A engine. When i bought it was about 12 years old. Very faithful car. No major issues when i had it and even for an engine with a high milage was still good on gas.

5A engines are legendary in my book and they are very very good on gas too

always heard about the 5A engines but sadly never owned one...

the best for me is the AE111 4AFE (still driving it)

KE30 wagon with a 18R engine.
It was a speedy lemon, but was synonymous with much simpler times.
The landlord and neighbours used to come and tell me the car turn itself on just so, but after a while they knew was the radiator fan...coming on just so

Having only owned 3 cars, the best car I owned of the lot was a CY Lancer.

Expanding the list to cars driven (Pops owned) it would probably be a L Touring Corolla for taking a beating at a reasonble cost (I put more miles on my fathers L Touring than any of the cars I ever owned)

[uncle sam]

out of the 15 cars I owed must be the ES civic. Still have it and drive it ever so often. Thing reliable af and very little maintenance. trooper of a car. decided not to sell it. Might give my nephew it.

Out of the 20something cars I owned so far, it's a toss up between my RX7 and RX8... Both lots of fun to drive and contrary to what people say about rotary reliability, they never let me down.

that probably went over most people head- but nonetheless well executed .


First car was the Ford Escort- that was a death-trap beyond belief. looking back on it now if offered that car again I would run away....it had so many issues it did help as it as a crash course in auto electrics, carburetors and forever failing brakes.

(inbetween here had an AE101 & EK3- both a bit boring)

I really liked my EG9, only 4 seats which I found useful on many occasions- B16A2 was decent on gas once you didn't overdo it and the only minor issue was on the V-TEC solenoid gasket which I replaced myself)

(inbetween here I had Focus, Mondeo- a couple randoms and an A3)


Now driving a Euro- once again like this one as its a 'sport-hatch' tobo-diesel which means I get decent mileage, plenty torque and a comfortable ride while fitting all my crap in the car.


If I had a deathwish- i would happily go with the Escort but at the moment looking at another Euro as a new one is in the cards for next May- looking for a hybrid tough

Had a 94 2dr Suzuki Escudo, it was super reliable, 4wd, great on gas and plenty ground clearance. Those 6 yrs were fun.

I agree,simple perfection and no software updates required! For me if it has to boil down to one,it must be the Evo,it's kinda like man's best friend on the road in any situation,dirt road ,beach,wedding you name it,it's as if it's always wagging it's tail at you!
