hmmm. tricky question...
the new landrover evoque's come to mind with their buttery leather,
but a "perfect" second car imho, is a reliable recovery vehicle.

I once broke down in a 79 westfalia on I-80, 120 miles outside of slc.
after hitching a ride back home (slc), i drove my 4-cyl, 4 door suzuki
sidekick
to uhaul, rented a tow hitch and dragged the van back home for repair.

the suzuki was never the prettiest car, but i never got stuck (4wd), it had
a ton of interior space
and got 36mpg even after 60k miles. i couldn't kill it...
