93 toyota camry = awesome fit and finish and quality, power steering rack leaked and was replaced, plastic door handles on exterior were only part that gave me trouble. they liked to crack and break, very brittle after 7 years in the florida sun. motor ran fine, other than routine maintenance like oil seals and such.

97 nissan 240sx = fit and finish isnt up to par with toyota or honda, but still acceptable. dash parts after 5 years in the sun very brittle, but could be me being hard on taking them in and out.
no mechanical problems as of yet, besides one a/c line leaking and needing a recharge, and the routine maintenance

97 honda integra - fit and finish awesome, might be slightly less than toyota, but to normal consumer, dead on par (normal consumers dont take out panels and such to clean and notice the fit and finish issues), mechanically great, with mild mods, easy to work on, clutch master cylinder needed replacing, other than that runs great.

97 chevy lumina - interior was typical GM plastic pos, but was actually decent material that stood up to everyday driving and wasnt too bad. motor was doing alright, but it was traded in before it got too old anyways.

2000 camry - toyota gets better and better as the years go on. this car runs liek a champ, could run it into the ground.

2002 tundra - same as above, but in truck form. 2wd version so dont know how off road 4x4 models hold up but its definately sturdy and rides like a car, but has the power and truck capabilities. first time having a v8 in quite a while, so the mpg feels shitty compared to past vehicles.

2000 ford crown vic - has state law enforcement package, been repainted at states decision, paint was good though before. no major problems as of yet and reaching 100k very fast being a state car and such. 4.6 mod motor has guts but pig weight of the crown vic doesnt make it a screamer.

199x ford bronco - previous state car, POS, interior was vinyl seats and floor because of police package, but i hear they came in that trim actually. went through a motor or two, and a few trannies. paint was fading fast on hood and rear 'topper' portion. got repainted.

1999 chevy blazer - very decent for state car, power was okay, 2 door version had major blind spots, 4 door was a little better. body roll king. paint and motor was great. gm interior.
