Quality:
Overall:

My Warhorse — Daily driven through rain, sleet, and snow and the heat of the summer... for years. It's even doing camping duty, packed to the gills, climbing the PA peaks, loaded down with supplies, people, and firewood.

Pros: Rugged and willing to slide. Inexpensive to run, but very comfortable enough for grand
touring.

Cons: Getting on in years, loosing its performance and styling edge. Starting to get confused
with just another old car.
