Two Audi’s never made it to next scheduled maintenance without a trip back for warranty work.

Toyota Corolla 120K in 6 years only scheduled maintenance still had original battery and brakes. Drove a lot from Nashville to Tampa many Hwy miles could do it on 3 tanks of gas.
Had 7 VW never any problems, 4 VW in US, 2 bugs, camper and regular bus, when in Germany 2 bugs wife wrecked one (Polizie called and asked if I wanted her arrested for harming our daughter who was looking out the window in her car seat). Someone stole the second one, got a bus. A friend who had a Triumph Spitfire gave it to me when he went bates to the states never ran good.
Nissan Pathfinder 1st 8 months 2 alternators’ 3 radiators’. Got a call from Nissan NA, said they would swap any car I would like that they made. Went back to dealer, they owned about 8 different lines traded for Turbo PT Cruiser. One of my most favorite and versatile cars.
In 2005 when Gas was 3.60-3.80 a gallon and I used all most 3 tanks a week. Traded for a 2005.5 VW Jetta TDI 68 MPG I think I got around 840 miles a tank on trips great car. 160k only think replaced overflow tank. Took a job to an island where no cars allowed drove bikes and LP golf carts.
