Last week the site asked readers to name cars they respect more now than when new, and many responses singled out the Toyota MR2 Spyder and other early-2000s Toyotas.
Reader submissions also praised the Saturn Aura, Toyota Solara convertible, Honda Element, Toyota Corolla E120 and Pontiac Aztek, noting durability, simpler controls and distinctive styling.
One reader highlighted the Saturn Aura's Saab-derived platform and 3.6-liter V6, while another said they'd buy a reintroduced Honda Element if offered with AWD and a six-speed manual.
