I bought this car in grad school when I was commuting about two hours to school twice a week. Needless to say, I put a lot of miles on my car, and it has been super-reliable. Over the past 8 years, I've put over 80,000 miles on it, and it has held up wonderfully. I've had no major repairs that aren't normal maintenance. Even better, it is just an enjoyable car. It rides smooth and runs well!
Story
When I think of this car, I mostly just think of all the miles I logged in it going to and from grad school. It might seem strange to list that as a fun memory, but it has a certain nostalgia to it. I remember a friend who I carpooled with in this car, and we had lots of fun conversations while riding together.
Pros
I would say the most positive things about the car are its reliability. I've had very few major problems or repairs with the car. I also love the size. It's not as big as an SUV or truck, but it's just big enough that you don't feel crammed or like you'll be crushed if you get in an accident. The trunk is deceptively large as well. It's looks small from the outside but goes really far back into the car.
Cons
The way the interior of the car is made, it gets dirty really easily. It catches dirt and gunk in the cloth material. Another thing I don't like is that the electronics are out of date. I wish that you could connect a phone to the speaker or use a back-up camera, but it does not have either one. Overall, the problems are relatively small compared to the great things about this car.

My car is for my Mitsubishi gallant, which I have owned for a little over two years now. It is a car that gets me where I need to go without any problems. The care itself looks decent enough, though it doesn't really look all that unique. Overall I would recommend this car if you just needed a car, with no flashy gimmicks or extra features.
Story
I've gotten rear-ended a lot while in the car, yet it still continues to stand and perform well.
Pros
I like how the car handles, which is an important aspect for driving. Also the brakes are very good, you don't feel the need to slam down on them to get the car to stop.
Cons
I would say for a negative aspect of the vehicle it would have to be that their really is nothing special about the car. It really is just a vehicle which can get pretty boring. The radio is also pretty dated given the current time.
