I won't touch American cars, not since the day the transmission fell out of my dad's nearly-brand-new Oldsmobile when I was a kid. (I won't touch a Mercedes for the same reason. It seems Dad doesn't have good luck with transmissions.)

My first car was an Acura Vigor that I drove until it all but fell apart. I replaced it with a TL that I love. My dad drove a Honda Accord for a while - he put 120K miles on that car, mostly from a rough commute to NYC. I've driven that car and I loved it. (It has long since gone to car heaven, but it took a hell of a beating first.) So I second (third? fourth?) all the recommendations for the Civic.
