In reverse order as follows:
BMW 545i (2004)
Lexus RX330 (2004)
Acura Integra (1991)
Volkswagen Scirocco 16V (1986)
Volkswagen Scirocco (1984)
Volkswagen Scirocco (1982)
The Acura is the best car I have owned from a quality and reliability perspective (186K miles, no major repairs or failures, just many sets of tires). German engineering provides the best driving experience, but I have found that Japanese engineering provides the best quality and reliability. I seriously considered buying the Mercedes E500, but opted for the e60 due to much better quality and reliability ratings of the BMW (the Lexus GS430 was just not in the performance class of either the Mercedes or BMW and the reliability/resale value of the Jags, Audi and others was not acceptable). I have thoroughly enjoyed my BMW and hope that it provides a few years of great performance, quality and reliability so that I become a next generation BMW customer....

This E60 is actuallu my first car, and I'm 26 already. I have driven many kinds of cars, but this one was the best available. I have always been BMW enthusiast, so the choise between different brands was wery easy.
