What it was and what did you like/hate the most about it?
It’s slightly offtopic, but firsthand experience may help first time car buyers to choose.

1986 Monte Carlo, in 2002. v8, auto, rear drive. pulled the “economy” 305, which was actually counter productive in a car with 2.76 gearing, as it made it work so hard to do anything mileage suffered. Dropped in a 400 small block, a known torque monster, mileage improved, and it could pull redline in top gear, and with that gearing, had to be up around 240. speedo had a pin at 140. (redline on that type of 400 is @4700 rpm)
Wow, that quite something for a first car!
First car, but I’d been wrenching on trucks and tractors since I was ten, learned to drive at 7.
