Almost 300k on a Supra? Nice!
I cant speak for myself really because I've only had 4 vehicles total. But my Dad has had 2 Miata's. I would say the 2000 SE 6 speed, but at 110k the throwout bearing is finally going out. It would end up being either his 99 Miata he sold to my brother at 160k, the 94 Suburban we drove from NH with, or the 2003 suburban we have currently.

Well I could say my '69 Mustang Mach 1 428 CJ 4 spd was fun or my '68 Cougar XR7-GT 390 4 spd. My '84 Supra was great. At last count I've owned 33 vehicles. But hands down the best car is my '98 Lexus SC 300. Quiet, sporty, comfortable, beautiful, powerful. I just love it. I had a subscription to Autoweek in '91 when they ran the centerfold ad for the new SC..........WOW !

I once had a '68 BMW 1600 that was so simple, so pure, so much fun. I had a Miata that I really liked and may get another. My best car was probably a 1990 Acura Legend Coupe. I put 130,000 miles on it, it was very reliable, handled great and got decent mileage.
My current 2002 GS300 is a terrific car, so comfortable, great engine, very intelligent transmission, just a nice ride.

Close call between my old built 06 sti and my current is-f. sti had a built motor/suspension/brakes with over 400whp, and the is-f has around 400whp but is way more comfortable. IS-F!

Best car I've owned - 1992 Nissan Skyline Gts-t M-spec
Handled great, had enough power... 0-100mk/h (60m/ph) in 6 seconds... did a few minor modifications too it so it performed a bit better than stock...
I nearly cried seeing it towed away in exchange for my 1992 Windom/ES300.... but the auto trans was blown and it had been garaged for 8 years so it wasn't looking like I was going to get trans replaced anytime soon...

The cars I've owned listed best to worst (all were good cars, just order I liked them)
2014 Lexus IS 350
2010 Toyota Tacoma X-runner
2010 Scion Tc
1997 Dodge Dakota 4x2 ext. cab V8
2012 Mazda Speed 3
2014 Dodge Dart (great daily driver, but pathetic amount of power when priced as much as a Civic SI. Got rid of it after 6 months, couldn't stand it anymore)
2000 Dodge Dakota 4-cylinder short bed (my first car. Not bad, was just a boring, slow bean can)

My GS400 I just got a few weeks ago would probably tie or be considered the best, but overall fun factor had to be my first car my 86 Prelude Si which had 14" Fitipaldi wheels and nice sporty tires.
I drove that throughout high school and it handled like a go kart and I hit 120+ briefly on a down hill a few times and it was stable as anything.
Eventaully rusted too much underneath and wasn't worth fixing ( damn you NE salt roads).
If I remember right it had about 160k on it.

Yeah the 80's thru to about 1992 Honda Prelude was a cool car.... Very forgiving, I've always said they make for a good first car on that basis... The Si was the better model to have, I had the XX which was good but the Si had the better engine...
