Ford Crown Victoria.
Big and comfy. Bulletproof engines. Easy to work on. Only issue is it’s a gas guzzler. But you’ll be saving that money on cheap insurance and cheap parts. I suggest to get the LX trim and not the police car.

I'm kind of surprised nobody said Kia (and for that matter, Hyundai) yet?
JD Power has ranked Kia in the top 3 in dependability for the past few years and gave them the #1 spot last year. They also have a 10yr/100k mile warranty so theoretically they'll survive for a very long time.
They do have a bad wrap with the car thefts going on, but that issue is addressed with their newer models. I do suppose though that to a dumb "thrill seeker" that doesn't mean you're immune to attempted thefts.
Totally agree. I worked at a few lube shops over the years and was always impressed with Hyundai and Kia as they rarely ever had as many issues as a lot of other manufacturers. They totally screwed the pooch with the interlock decision, and have had some recent reliability issues with certain engines, but I think they build pretty good cars overall. Hyundai has also been doing some pretty good styling with their newest models

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.
Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.
It’s also pretty fun to drive.
Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

I scream next to any Italian sports car I see, like I just stand there screaming until I go hoarse
I have a Tesla and an audi.
I have a Nissan I gave to my kid. 2008. Only one issue during the first year. Otherwise it’s been trouble free. I’ve been impressed with it.
