Don't forget the Toyota straight sixes.

I had an '83 Supra with the DOHC 2.8L. I bought it in '86 with 47k miles on it.
I put 200k miles on it, then gave it away around 2002 (what a fool).

I wish I still had it. It still had the original brakes and clutch on it. It had the typical rust issues that all Japanese cars from the early 80s had.

It would get 25 mpg, which was good for a sports car in the early 80s. It had 150 hp stock, which was the same as a mustang or camaro V8 of the same year.
