My VW was a 1986 Scirocco. Bought new and put about 170k miles on it.

My car performed great - no major problems. Accept for an accident which required body work, all but maybe $100-$200 was for routine work - tires, timing belt, air cond, tune ups, brakes. Then I bought a Saab 9000 - now that car had probems - $2000 in repairs the first year! (used car)
