    Personally I think a crown vic because of how cheap it is and it is the real last American boat/ body on frame car.

    If you think boat and body on frame are the same thing, you've never driven a boat. Ever seen a challenger before?

    Every Challenger, from 1970 to 2018, has been unibody.

    Exactly. Challengers are boats, but not body on frame. That was the point.

    Any G or W platform GM with a 3800 V6. Those things are bulletproof. I've seen LeSabres and Impalas with 200-300k miles on them. My driver's ed car was an '04 Impala 3800 with 309k on the original engine and trans

    The SRT ones are much better. I've driven a rental V6 and an SRT and the SRT actually handles pretty well for how big it is. Still not as good as the charger, though.

    These are jokes, right?
    O.T.: I'd say Passat B3, since it has barely any value even in perfect condition, but these things are quite strong. If the Syncro version can't drive through something, you need a proper offroader to do so.

    Until you bring your 2 friends, and one has nowhere to go.

    Just kidding.
    Miata owners have no friends.

    Audi 80 B4. You can pick a decent one for less than PLZ 3k ($850), and you'll have a large enough car that will last you for a few years.

    If you look for a new car, than any dacia pretty much... Way cheaper than skodas vws and so toyotas, but they pack decent reliability and good precticallity and the duster in 4wd spec is pretty good offroad due to low weight and good 4wd system.
