I have bought A LOT of new cars over the years, more than I should have (financially speaking) Out of them all my favorite was the 83-85 Mazda 626 coupe with a 5 spd. I'd buy a new one to day if I could. 30 MPg or so around town and high 30's on the road trips with the A/C on running 70-80 MPH. Carbureted to boot . twocents
