Not quite as nice as some of the cars here, but this little guy got me around for almost 8 years. It was my first car, a 1989 Ford Festiva my neighbor sold me shortly after I turned 15.
It was really run down (I got it for $200) and nobody expected the car to last long, but I proved them wrong by buying a repair manual and learning how to fix it. The car never left me stranded, and I drove it cross-country several times.
I sold it to a mechanic, who still drives it daily, when I got a 2006 Toyota Rav4. It's nice having a newer car, but it just doesn't have the character my Festiva had.
