I like our newer Toyota when I'm a passenger, not so much when I drive.
My wife likes our Corvette when she's a passenger, not so much when she drives.
Our adult daughters like our old Toyota when they need to borrow a car. It has 120k but has been well cared for and runs like new. We plan to keep it until it dies.

Everyone is happy!

P.S.
Gas mileage on the 'vette is really low when racing, but that's only a tiny fraction of its life, road trips give us nearly 30 mpg. Not a Prius, but good enough for me.
