My wife has a manual tranny 2001 VW GTI GLX with about 30K, I have a manual tranny 1997 Saab 900SE coupe with 109k. We use our cars for commuting (we both work) but use my car for the long trips, transporting large items, going out to dinner, etc.
My wife doesn't drive my car often because of the stiff (cable) clutch, but loves the shifter feel, the power, cargo and passenger room, and the comfortable seats. Both cars are expensive to repair and maintain, mine having the lion's share of use and hence, maintenance expense.
We like both, but our next car will be a wagon, and we are debating whether to trade in her car or mine, since we love the utility of mine so much, even though it is older.
FWIW, my previous car was an owned '92 Corolla, hers was a leased '97 Accord.
