I drive a 20yo 1993 Lexus LS400 (so old it's almost a "classic" lol). The car is solid. Lexus totally over-engineered this car. Terrible gas mileage but don't care as I have a very short commute.

Dang - that's one CLEAN Lexus!

I had a Mazda3 that I sold right after I bought the ///M and my co-workers we're always impressed with how clean it was. Looked basically like a new car all the time.

Thanks! I bought it a couple years ago and it was in pretty good shape but dirty as hell. Spent a couple weekends restoring the leather and getting carpets washed, used an electric ionizer to take out any "used" car smells and cleaned up the paint. Only 140k on the odometer! The V8 pulls the boat along pretty good. I even tried out the BMW Power App and hit 60 in 7sec!

2010 Audi A6 Avant (wagon in Audispeak) Prestige model, sports package with rear side airbags. It's got the 3.0L direct injected, supercharged V6 and it's pretty quick. Handles ok (steering frankly stinks and it understeers like most Audis) but it gets surprisingly good gas mileage, has amazing traction, and my wife loves it. It swallows our car seat for my son and the dog crate without folding the rear seats and my longboard on top. Great vehicle.

My mom and step dad are on their fourth LS. They had a 1990, 1994, 1997 and now a 2008. They put at least 120,000 miles on each before selling or trading them in.

I bought the 1997 from them in 2008 when the Lexus dealer was going to give them next to nothing in trade. We called her Ol' Bessie and she was my beater/surf mobile for nearly 6-years. We family transferred her to my birth father earlier this year and he uses it as his daily driver in and around S. CA (he drives a lot and needed a comfortable, large car that he wasn't worried about going anywhere (he's a liquor rep)). I drove Ol' Bessie last weekend and 16-years and 180,000+ miles later the V8 still pulls like a train, it's quiet as a tomb, and comfortable all day. It's BORING AS HELL to drive but literally bulletproof. Fantastic car in all respects (except fun to drive).

BTW - My mom and step dad are both now retired and plan on keeping their 2008 until it disintegrates. It now has 120,000 miles and other than routine maintenance it's absolutely bulletproof too.

I don't understand why the Germans can't build cars as reliable as the Japanese and with very few exceptions, I don't understand why the Japanese can't build cars that are fun to drive.

I drive a loaded up 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4X4 pickup with the coolest option ever developed in a pickup...RamBox! Not as much fun to drive as an M3, but in my opinion, the best half-ton truck on the road. I like the looks of the Raptor's exterior, but the Ram is much better on-road.

I have an 01 740i sport. Love this car. It drives very different from the M but still extremely enjoyable and comfortable. Big car that drives small.
