    My first gen in 1 year away, 173k, work horse most of it’s life, has been bullet proof, only problem it ever gave me was a cracked radiator.

    I drive it spiritedly and it doesn’t feel tired at all.

    What's cool about these lists is that Toyota vehicles kind of dominate them.

    Hold the Line! If you are not holding the line, abandon your ship. Destruction is inevitable without more to hold the line!
    Annihilates the competition in reliability and time that consumers keep their vehicles.

    The Golf has looked exactly the same for at least 15 years.. wonder if that has anything to do with it.
