    They should see my 2001 car. I gotta say I’m impressed with how issue-free it is. Never left me stranded and all it asks for are oil changes and proper washing in certain rust-prone spots.

        Golf 4 1.4l

        Arguably the worst model but it never failed me, it’s just got poor top speed. The 1.9l diesel can go much faster

            In Romania it’s FULL of them. They’re poorly maintained for the most part though… So they have a really undeserved reputation of being shit here.

        I have never heard of persistent, weird, or expensive mechanical issues with an NC750.

        Vietnam is full of poorly maintained Honda Waves (Groms in the US), that run as long as you keep putting oil in it and never change the brake fluid as long as it does close all the way, just keep tightening the calipers+handle and the squishier they get, adding more fluid after the 4th time the drum brakes need to be changed early because theyre full of brake fluid.

      My 2003 car has never broken down. The maintenance cost over the last decade has been well under the depreciation of a new car.

        And these are much cheaper to repair just in general, because they’re much simpler, nevermind the parts are still being produced afaik
