I'm finding that I am pretty done with "modern" cars. Every year they get farther away from what I like. In fact, I just sold a 2018 Fiata (124 Spider) and replaced it with a mint condition 46K mile '11 128i CV. Though that was more because I didn't fit in it comfortably than that I didn't like it - I LOVED driving it.
As for cherishing cars, I have owned this little guy for 25 years now, and I have owned my '11 e91 from new, and really have no intention of ever replacing either of them. My '17 GTI feels like a long-term keeper too - the more I read about the new one the less desirable it seems. I might well replace my old Land Rover Disco with a new Bronco though.
