I know they were all considered horrible when they were made. I look at them now and think, " I could probably work on those."

I briefly dated a girl who drove a 92.

We bought a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport as a commuter car for my wife.
I knew the mechanical reputation their 2.4L engine had. But the 100k mile warranty and being anal retentive in oil changes lowered my concerns.
We bought new at $21k and paid off in 3yrs.
Just reached 120k miles. Had the dealer give the engine block an acid bath at 98k miles. Engine consumes 1qt/1000mi. I meticulously keep oil topped and changed regularly.
Takes effort but no payment feels great

I think there’s some confusion after reading the responses. Can a disposable car be super reliable, like the Isuzu trucks, or disposable meaning cheap shite that won’t last?

Best to just crack all the plastics inside with a hammer the day you purchase it.

I haven't walked into a Ford dealership since the 1980's.

My lumina lasted for 8 years. I got it when it was 7 years old.
What a fine ride.

You deserve infinite downvotes for not including Altima in your OP!

Mini Cooper. Value drops like a rock after being bought new, parts are hard to get, and cost more than the car is worth.
2nd place: Any newer model Chrysler product.
