Mazda 323 1994 3 door
If you don't just drive the car, but also pick up all the little details and noises, and pay attention to them and fix them in time, then this is the car of your dreams. Fuel consumption could be 5l, then it would be perfect. You just have to learn to drive it properly, at the right speed. I don't go over 90km/h on the motorway. I rarely drive in towns.
