Without a doubt a Camry... excellently put together and reliable transportation but not a drivers car in the least. Actually driving the 5 speed Manual is pretty awful...I much rather drive my Tacoma over a Camry.

Why are those mediocre when they do exactly what they were meant to do? And are reliable and have no sporty pretentions?

i think it depends on what you mean by mediocore. the camry sets out to be mediocore and does it well. if the camry was a shirt size it would be XM.

so a mediocre car has;
- No luxurious features, but isn't shit for quality - No performance bragging rights, but isn't slow - No economical benefits, but doesn't guzzle gas - Aesthetically dull design (interior & exterior) but isn't ugly - the lifespan/durability/reliability has a set date of 150k-200k miles before consider replacing the entire car. that sound about right?

That fits the Corolla/Camry perfectly. Those are good cars, but they don't excel at anything.
Corolla/Camry are cars you can be content with but not necessarily want and not necessarily don't want. |

Anything to ever come from Dodge/Chrysler after 1972, save for the Viper.
