We had an 82 and a 91 escort. Or an 81 and a 92? NO matter. They wont win any races, but manual trans were fast enough to get to school or work good mileage and ran forever. Great car for transportation. The 91 had . a crap ton of miles, and it wasnt all highway, lots of city in there. Just under 300k, and the guy who bought it kept driving it for years.

if we are talking cheap reliable gems, the escort is way up there.
