I had a 93 Buick LeSabre until I got my Focus in August. It was my father's before he got a new car 2 years ago, then I started driving it.
The car has ~175k miles on it and has had no major problems. It had the suspension replaced at ~80k, the alternator replaced at ~110k, and the water pump replaced at ~140k.
Obviously the handling on the car is poor, especially when you're used to Focus, but it's been a solid, reliable car for me. I don't think quality has dropped off for GM recently, but I really don't know.
