Most Reliable Car Ever!

1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet Carat 2dr Convertible
I bought this car wanting an inexpensive, fuel efficient yet fun and reliable car. I have had it for over 4 years and it has never broke down on me. It is the most reliable car I've ever owned and I've owned plenty, including new cars. I love this car and it's fun to drive. I drove it across country and had the time of my life. This car has required very low maintenance. Other than … replacing the tires and regular oil changes, I haven't been set back at all. It's paid for itself.
Adorable, fun, reliable, fuel efficient+

I bought my 1991 VW Cabriolet Eienne Eigler edition just this spring. It had sat for a while. A new set of brakes, tires and an oil change and she runs great. Very sporty and fun to drive not to mention economical.
