I've been driving this car for 10+ years, since I was 18, and it just turned over 400,000km a few weeks ago. It's ugly as all get out, but it's the most reliable vehicle I know of. It doesn't have a lot of get-up-and-go on the highway or going up hills, but hey, 400km I have no complaints. It's cheap on gas, has an awesome turning radius, I can get into all the small parking spaces and mechanically it's relatively simple enough that I can fix many things myself. Started burning a little oil around 350. I expect to pass this vehicle on to my grandchildren.
