(Letters represent concurrent ownership)
Highest Quality: 1987 Grand Marquis (hard to believe - but 140,000 miles & only changed the oil)
Most Consistently High Quality: the Hondas/ Toyotas
Worst Quality (besides the 125): the two BMWs - I will never own one again, Audi once past 150,000 miles
Best Engineering: The Mercedes' (incl. Crossfires)
Most Fun: the Convertibles
Most Capable: The Rovers. (yes I'm one of the few that actually took them off-road)
