What’s your criteria for best engine (1) performance; (2) longevity; (3) zero problems or defects?

I have a 1997 Buick Park Avenue Ultra with a 3.8 liter supercharged V-6 that gets 18-19 mpg in city driving without the air conditioner and 17-18
mpg with the air conditioner on. At 60 mph it averages 39 mpg and at 65 mph it averages 36 mpg (on a flat highway). Why in the hell didn’t GM make more cars like that?! This car has 192,000 miles on the engine, uses 1 qt. of oil in 7000 miles, and drives like new. It tells me when i have low air pressure in the tires, when it’s due for another oil change. etc., a car that’s truly apleasure to drive.
