Would be interesting to see what milage you have done on your car vs how many issue it's been giving if any during those kilometres.

Opel Corsa lite. 196 000km still original just service with front struts tie rod ends and the timing belt changed. Engen still going strong.


Saw a 2014 Toyota Corolla with 625 323km. Company car and despite it being smashed like 5 times already engen is still sound.
