Foreign cars

I've owned 3 imports in my life...
a 1967 VW Beetle, a 1969 VW bus, and a MB 450sl.

The two VW's were a blast to drive and play with, especially in the snow. Cheap, easy to maintain, good on gas.

The 450 SL was the most expensive, and the least reliable vehicle I ever owned. In the three years I owned it, it average about 9 weeks a year at the dealership for every little BS thing you could think of.
