The Car: 1983 Volvo 240 Wagon. That's right, I drive a car that's older than I am.
Pros: After nearly 30 years it's still the most reliable car we've got, and it handles smooth as ever. 25-30 MPG, and more room than you can shake a stick at when you drop the back seats. It's the oldest of the bunch and it's outlasted 2 newer cars.
Cons: It is a little fitful when it's cold, and with only 4 gears (plus push-button overdrive) you'll be lucky if you can get it to 70.
Replacement: Never thought about it. It's come this far, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon...
