Ted implied it by claiming 'a car is only transportation'.
That's the car most of the 'car is only transportation' people seem to adore. A transportation appliance.
Is a Volvo 264 with 350000km on the clock long enough? Or a Dodge pickup with 280000 miles?
Maybe some people in your company abuse company cars. I drove an Impala with somewhere north of 100000 miles on the clock a while ago and it felt ok. Not great, but then no other 20k car feels great either.
Concerning abused cars: I drove a rental Golf IV TDI with only 21000km on the clock and it felt as if it had over 100000. You can abuse any car to oblivion and company cars are especially prone to this type of abuse.
You must be kidding. You really call the plastic landscape in a New Beetle very nice?
Safety" Feature Backfires 2039C.H. That doesn't mean that an equally reliable car can't be somewhat involving to drive while still being practical. (and that's what I don't see on the market today.) I'd say those...
Most of the GTI I didn't even see the 100k mile mark in Germany. They rusted out, almost literally fell apart. The Golf 1 was a truly shoddily made econobox, which earned its reputation for severe rust problems and lack of longevity.
