At the moment, we've got a Ford,Chevy, Olds, and a Mercury in our driveway. Have also had Chevy silverado, another Ford truck, a Caddy,and a Ford Aerostar in the past.
The chevy is a 96 conversion van, and I want to smack whatever designer thought they could make an engine compartment nearly vertical so they could shorten the front end. When it comes to repairing and replacing parts, it's a pain in the ass since the only thing really accessible is the battery and oil fluid. Anything else and you've gotta try and dig down through a couple feet of metal and plastic, with no finger room whatsoever.
The only beef I've had about my olds is when GM thought they would try and make the car smart with a key identification system that was connected to the starter. Certain days, the car would just decide it didn't like my key and wouldn't start. So you'd keep trying, and end up killing the battery in the process. Once we pulled the system, no probs whatsoever.
