I've had bad luck with cars. My green 2002 Honda Civic was salvaged, it had been in a front end crash and had been totaled. It had about 92K miles when I got it. It's been 2 years since I've had this car and have only needed routine maintenance. It's small but comfortable. It can fit in tiny parking spaces and has great turning radius. I'd say the only negative is that the car is so small, people seem not to see the car when turning etc.

I like how reliable the vehicle is. Parts were very easily accessible because it's a standard car. There were not any big problems that could not be fixed.
