My favorite car is one that starts, runs, gets more than 20 MPG, and isn't so rusty that I'm ashamed to be seen driving it. After that, pfttt, I have stopped caring. It's not that I don't like some cars (I'd kill for the latest Aston Martin seen in Casino Royale), but I have owned so many (over 15 last time I counted) and since I live in a harsh climate (brutal winters and steamy humid summers), all I care is will it get me where I am going without quitting on me and in relative comfort (winter = heat, summer = a/c).
In chronological order, I've owned
1962 Dodge Polara (my first car...cost me $125)
1965 Ford Mustang (before Mustangs were collectable)
1970 Dodge Charger R/T (sweetest ride I've ever owned) 
1974 Fiat 128 (biggest piece of sh_t I ever owned...went through three transmissions in the first 12 months) 
1976 Chevrolet Malibu
1974 Opel Manta (another sweet ride...what is it with German cars???)
1975 Chevrolet Nova
1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass (a real craptacular one, that)
1977 Ford Maverick (another real p.o.s) 
1981 Toyota Corolla
1983 Toyota Corolla (switched from an automatic to a stick shift)
1977 Mazda GLC (hahaha...holes in the floor and manual choke but it ran)
1981 Mazda GLC (for a Mazda, it was junk)
1986 Toyota Celica (actually not at all up to their usual standards)
1986 Chevrolet Nova (really just a Corolla under the skin)
1990 Mazda Protege (okay, but still too many repairs)
2002 Mazda Protege (this is Kathryn's current car)
2000 Ford Focus SE *my current ride...so far - 3 weeks - so good)
People ask me what I would buy if I had the money to buy anything. Probably a Lexus sedan. I'm 53 and my days of squatting to get in a sports car (other than the aforementioned Aston Martin) are long gone. Give me comfort, style, and hi tech gadgets and it's all good.

I like comfort too. Big saloons with big engines.

Give me a big engine, preferably a lot of noise to come with it and I would like to sit with my ass as close to the ground as possible

Do not look here.
At least they are decent enough not to list any prices.

1969 Plymouth Road Runner 440-six barrel, all original with the bench seat and column shift
