I have a 12 year old Renault Scenic works as charm, I love the cheap parts if I have to repair anything, however I own this car for sometime I hadn't to repair anything except the check that I have each 15000 KM and maybe the brakes I had to change.
my wife want even a bigger car, but I am not even thinking about changing this one, it is working and it is serving its purpose.
Same here, I own a 13 year old Honda Civic since 3 years now. Never had anything break on it, cheap as fuk to drive around in...
Beats me why I would spend hard earned money on a status symbol like a fancy car. Even if I was rich i'd probably go for something midrange than a Ferrari or Porsche...
