    Look up Saturn plastic body panels. The hood, roof, and top of the trunk we’re still metal.

    I had one as my first car. I got rear ended once, and the plastic parts were mostly fine (a little paint chipped off), but the metal top got bent. The trunk itself worked and I never fixed the metal.

    Edit to add: the car was made in 1999, I think I bought it in 2008 and had it for about ten years. I got rid of it because the electronics were getting gremlins. Neither the paint on the plastic or metal panels had issues except for the mentioned fender bender.

      Saturn used to have door panels set up in their dealerships and encouraged kids to jump on them. I was one of those kids.
