I love my Sambas...probably not the best thing for asphalt though.
Frontrunner definately. My mom half-runs/walks marathons, and she goes there for everything.
I hate cobalt interiors. True, the Saturn's are pretty nice.
Now as in terms of mechanical reliability, my father's S-10 Blazer has never, ever broken down. Now a repair shop had messed it up and actuated the security system, but that's it.
