I used to know a farmer who owned a polski fiat, wouldn't have anything else, he'd had it for years & never had a problem, the thing simply kept on running.
An old neighbour swore by Ladas, he had a Lada estate which was years old & had almost 200k on the clock.
These were both cars that were laughed at by the general public - egged on by motoring magazines & the like.
My dad & I managed to get a great deal on Nissan Stanzas by buying two at the same time.
Identical cars, both garaged, after the initial warranty service I serviced & repaired both cars. Both doing almost identical mileage.
We kept the cars a similar length of time, I had loads of problems with components failing, major rust etc, his was immaculate to the end! Go figure.
