we have 2, though I think of them as 1.5 (the nicer condition one no longer ingests salt + unfortunately misses out on snow as a consequence). they are both fine as daily drivers, though both are automatics + one of those is getting near death's door (rust + bad automatic) + might only be fine for another few years. I drove it half way across the country last year, but we in general don't do that anymore with young kids due to the pain in the neck if something breaks + fuel economy on the automatic is not great... if the 1993 had a stick, I probably would drive it on long trips with the kids...
I think it all comes down to maintenance... as we catch up on that, these cars are becoming more reliable, not less... + they are getting cheaper to repair as well, as I learn more about them + fix more myself (and I can thank Scott + all of you guys here for that). when I see parts costs on eg the 9-5, I think I need to keep collecting c900's!
