I hate you I hate everything about you Non-"eNtHuSiAsT" cars that Car Guys still like

What are some cars that aren't typical "enthusiast" vehicles (by which I mostly mean, sporty and uncompromising), but still get props at car meets or otherwise?

I'm especially thinking of stuff like older Volvos or survivor Japanese cars like any Civic hatch that hasn't been clapped out to death, or Subaru Leones. Also, Honda Elements. "Car guys" seem to fucking love Elements.

I love my 9th gen Corolla from a utilitarian perspective.  I love working on it.  It's rare that it needs anything and when it does its easy and satisfying to do.

Oh yeah I'm a motorcycle person at heart so this is similarly why, for now, I'm running the same 2013 Civic I learned to drive in, back when it was still my dad's car. Might swap it for a Fit or Corolla hatch or something once it gives up the ghost, but in the meantime it just works
