98 civic hatch, love teh space, suspension setup, gas mileage, ease of use. Hate the exhaust and current lack of a back seat...though its nice not having to drive anywhere cause I can only fit one other person.

my DD is a 99 Infiniti G20t

like: it's been reliable so far, good in the snow, decent mileage (26-30ish), LSD, handles ok

dislike: it's definitely showing its age, clutch/transmission feels like garbage

I hope to sell it some time this winter or spring and move on to something else.

eh when you grow up in it you get used to it. That and I have never owned a car without snow tires, they make a HUGE difference.
