1. Chevy vs Chevy

Forum member White90conv shined some light on his favorite car, the Corvette C7 convertible that is his current daily driver. He explained that the car does everything right, and if you're part of this forum, you probably agree with him. As for his least favorite, his old 1966 Chevrolet Corvair came out on top. Although he liked the Corvair's styling, he wasn't a fan of the problems that came with it, like the clutch cable breaking off often, the cabin heat system, which uses the engine to heat up the cabin, making it smell like gasoline fumes, and the list kept going.

2. USA vs Germany

For forum enthusiast Jimbo26, the German engineering didn't do it for him, and his least favorite car is the gold Mercedes-Benz 300D turbo he once owned. Aside from the awful color, he went through two transmissions, a bad air conditioner, and a garage that always smelt like diesel. As for his favorite car, the all-American Corvette C7 gets the nod, as he described it as the most fun car he has ever owned. See Jimbo26's comments here.

3. M3 vs MG Midget

It's no surprise that the 1995 BMW M3 is forum member's Rrsperry's favorite car. Aside from its reputable performance and handling, he praises its reliability, claiming that in 21 years, he's only had to change a few bulbs, and about one part. As for his worst car, the 1971 MG Midget comes as a disappointment, as he described it as the single most unreliable car ever. See Rrsperry's comments here.

4. Corvette Wins Again

Yet again, the C7 Corvette makes the favorite list, and Globeman has owned his for 18 months. So far, his Corvette has provided him with no issues, and many miles of fun. As for his least favorite car, he too is not a fan of the German engineering and described his experience with his 2007 Volkswagen Touareg. Even though he bought it brand-new with no miles on it, his transmission went out at 18,000 miles, and the engine was already giving him major problems by 35,000 miles. See Globeman's comments here.

5. 240SX vs MGB

It's obvious from his choice of cars that Bavaria is a fun person, and although both the Nissan 240SX and the MGB are fun cars, one sits at the top of his list while the other stinks up the basement. Not surprisingly, the 1991 Nissan 240SX is the favorite, and it served him right for a flawless 140,000 miles -- and over those miles he only had to replace the battery and tires. As for the 1966 MGB, it may look like fun, but it never started in the rain. See Bavaria's comments here.

6. Corvette vs Corvette

In an unusual turn of events, Jay_Davis shared the best and worst cars he's ever owned. Turns out, they are both Chevy Corvettes. His current 2015 Corvette have given him plenty of transmission issues, as well as some infotainment system bugs. He describes favorite, the 2005 C5 Corvette, as a great car with no major problems. See Jay_Davis's comments here.

7. Luxury vs Not-Luxury

For forum enthusiast ShahulX, the prestigious and luxurious 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class station wagon is the favorite, thanks to its massaging seats, open space, and smooth driving. His least favorite car, was the 2010 Toyota Prius was just terrible, and we can't truly argue with this. See ShahulX's comments here.
