All my daily drivers where/are old. Apart from a newly acquired 420ML. I bought a 1983 1300 Golf in 1983 and 4 month later is gotten written off by a guy crossing my lane.
Never bought another new, or would want to.

Although...I rented a 2011 Hyundai iLoad van on a UK trip for 3 weeks. Overall mpg....taking into account the liters to US gallon equation....was 34.8mpg and I drove 1800 some miles and mostly at and above the national speed limit.

Was powered by a 2.5 Turbo diesel and 5 speed manual trans. Can't buy one here. .
so, I'm fitting a 1999 Jetta TDi to a '85 VW Westy .... so still staying with the old diesel machinery.
