I used to have a Nissan Sentra. Not anymore, the breaks failed and I had to get rid of it. Now I am a student without a car. It's not convinient sometimes, but I get by.
1998 Ford Fiesta 1.3.
Small, cheap in taxes and insurance, and reasonably cheap (well, compared to larger cars I could afford...) in maintenance and gas.
That's it right there. You guys get all the great gas mileage, though-- it costs $100 US to fill up, and I get about 12 miles to the gallon.
Why haven't I gotten another vehicle? Well, for starters, I'm 6'5", and I DARE you to find a compact car that fits me comfortably. Also, I ride around with my dogs, to parks and stuff. Besides, the thing runs like a TANK.
[edit] By the way-- the oil spill underneath it in those pictures isn't from the van. A buddy had a truck over that was about 30yrs old, and it's his fault the mess is there! [/edit]
Just so some of you don't think I'm rich, that is not my car... I just drive it. It's really my dads car, but he prefers his truck.I've got a 1986 Dodge Ram B250.

That's a sweet rig!
'92 Ford Aerostar Van (wrecked from hitting a whitetail deer).
It runs pretty good, roomy, and gets about 22 MPG (3.0L 6 cyl.)
Unfortunately, it has rust cancer...
Notice the Dodge makeover? LOL
Well I am deprived here. But I got two awesome rides! The 80cc Hondo Dirt Bike and a BigFoot Goped! Lol I am not old enough to drive yet and won't be for a while.
When i finally decided to buy a new car, the only way I could convince myself it was economic was to promise myself that i would keep it for at least 10 years.
I have a 1988 1/2 (says that on the manual) Toyota Corolla al-Trak; I am finally letting it go because someone smacked in the front end shortly after i canceled comprehensive insurance. It is worth US$2k but it will take almost $3k to fix - time to let go and get a car with airbags, air conditioning, and cupholders, sigh.
I had this car for 18 years - longer than I have known my g.friend and about the same age as our cat.
