I've often wondered why some makes/models (eg BMW,Merc, Audi) of car last longer than others?
The obvious answer is that they are built better from better quality materials but I've often wondered if this is case or is more down how well their owners have looked after them?
Taking 80s Hot Hatches as an example-
There are still quite a few Mk1 & 2 Golf GTIs on the road (I have one of them) but when did you last see an XR3i or Astra GTE of the same vintage?
Is this simply because VW built them better or was it because the first owners looked after them better?
